An interesting website full of web-based tools I found is http://www.suelebeau.com/freetools.htm. There are tons of online tools for teachers. This includes places for students to post homework, quiz generators, web page builders, free email accounts, timeline creator, calendar and worksheet generators, certificate and awards generators, educational games, and flashcards. I never realized how many resources there are for teachers on the internet. I think this can be so helpful, but that it is also important for a teacher to try to think outside the box when it comes to educating children. My favorite teachers were always the ones who did things a little differently. This website of tools for teachers may be more useful for instructors who work with younger children. These tools may be to immature or underdeveloped for middle schoolers and older.
Because I plan on teaching younger (around 1st or 2nd grade) visually impaired children, I may not use Excel very much with the students. However, it could be helpful for showing graphs and data that is age appropriate and if they are able. I could also use Excel for my own records, such as grades and attendance. This is the first experience I've had with Excel, and never knew about all of it's uses.
