This was a class page from one of my high school classes. It was Cypress Bay High and generally the grade level for this class ranged from 9-12. The website doesn't have public information but the login is the same since I took the class. On her page she provides useful links for students in addition to class assignments, notes and announcements.
As a hopeful history teacher I could see myself using technology to be engaging and exciting for students. For example creating assignments on a smart board that would encourage all students to come up to the class and participate while hopefully having a good time as well. I believe that if students are enjoying the materiel they are learning that they will be more likely to retain the information. A personal favorite assignment my teachers did in school was play jeopardy with study guides in order to prepare for an upcoming test, it made it easier to remember. I would like to things similar to this while incorporating the technology of a smart board.
My favorite technology that we experienced was the virtual reality headset. I could see this being used in a classroom in many ways to expand the learning plane of a classroom to many other places. This kind of technology would make be useful for virtual field trips and to allow students to see in learned class material in front of them. Another possibility would be to take students back in time to experience an era that could no longer be experienced today like perhaps the Cretaceous Period.
