Week 4

Today we learned about the UEN website and had the opportunity to explore. There is so much that this website has to offer. There are several resources that I can use as a teacher; several resources that I can offer to the parents of my students to use; and several resources that greatly benefit my students. I truly look forward to this valuable resource playing a key part of my future classroom.

When it comes to the interactive opportunities that were available on the UEN site, I think that my students will be very interested in this option. The activities that are available in the interactive site will entertain my students as well as help them to learn important information that relates to the health field. I can use the games as a downtime opportunity or as a reward system for my students.

As for the Pioneer Research section of the UEN website, this section could really help my students with any research papers not only I would assign, but also other classes they are taking. I plan to also use hte Pioneer Research as a tool for keeping up with research as well. I may assign my students to read certain articles on the website and come prepared to discuss them, or write a summary or give me their thoughts about the particular article. It will be very useful!

The lesson plans and core curriculum will be extremely useful for me personally. I can take lesson plans that other teachers have made and alter them however I see fit. This way, instead of starting from a blank slate, I at least have a starting point. I can see what activities have worked well for other teachers and implement those into my lessons. Also having the core curriculum so easily accessible will be great because I can have it right on hand to relate to. Overall, I was very pleased with this website and see myself using it a great deal in the future.
