Post prompt #9

A really interesting web-based tool that I found is on the discovery education website. The link is http://puzzlemaker.discoveryeducation.com/. With this website you can create many different puzzles and educational tools.
This website is very easy to maneuver through. It seems like it would be a very hassle free and effective tool for teachers to use to make a wide varity of puzzles and worksheets. They cold make math puzzles, word searches, crossword puzzles and much more. It also allows you to customize the puzzle.
As a teacher, I think that excel is going to be a great tool. I would like to teach second grade. I would use excel to organize and calculate the student's grades. And I would also use excel to record their different reading levels throughout the year so I can help them reach improvement goals.
For the final project my group and I are planning to create a buisness department at our school. Since we already have one computer lab at our school, we are going to create a second, smaller one. We will do this so that we can expand the number of teachers and students that are able to be a part of this department. We also want to get marketing and accountin software along with microsoft office and smart boards for the students. We are going to do 4 different levels of courses so students can go through all of high school progressing and competing for their spot in this prestigeous and extremely educational department.
