Creating a classroom website is a one way to efficiently and effectively accomplish your professional responsibilities. As a teacher, organization and time management are important and creating a website is one way to tackles these things. As a student, there are already many ways I try to use technology to accomplish my responsibilities. These include but are not limited to keeping up with Facebook groups and groupmes, creating google docs for assignments and setting limits on how much technology I can use when I'm not using it for my education.
Finally, I would like to introduce you to a place called the Tech Sandbox. The Tech Sandbox is located in the education building and contains innovative technology that can be used in education. These resources are presented by staff to help students to engage and learn more about current technology. One thing we were exposed to during our visit to the Tech Sandbox was a 3D printer. I had seen one before but, not in motion. We saw it use high heat to create a 3D image in only 30 minutes. If a school had the money for this, teachers could use 3D printers to show 3D diagrams of things they are teaching their students about such as an organ during an anatomy class. I have also attached an image of what the 3D printer created at the bottom of this post.

It was my first time seeing a 3D printer in action as well, though our creation was not completed by the time our showcase finished.
