For Leon High School, the link brought me to a page full of employees of the school. Each link was different, depending on the status of the employee, which was interesting. Some profiles had pictures, which was nice because it made the staff come off as friendly and welcoming, such as a teacher named Scott Evans had a picture of him smiling while skiing down a slope. There is also an option to view each teacher's assignments. However, I assume the students with only those specific teachers can view those because I could not.
I will be using technology very much once I move onto the professional field. Many online sources have helped me in school already, such as Grammarly, one of my favorites - which I plan on continuing to use for a very long time! I also plan on using Twitter if I end up teaching in an elementary classroom. Many other teachers and educators in the Twitter community have so many ideas to share, such as classroom bonding activities, class trips, learning tactics, daily lesson plans, and tips, etc.
Working on PB Works was difficult for both my group and me. I did not enjoy it. First of all, the layout of PB Works is very messy. When you enter the page, all the text is small, and there is a lot of it, so you become pretty overwhelmed first seeing it. It was challenging to edit things when my group was working together because only one person could edit at a time, and we had to have a two-hour Zoom call to figure it out and take turns. We eventually had to switch over to GoogleDocs because it was so frustrating. It was also hard trying to navigate the different "pages" of our website. I would not use wiki with my future K-12 students. I have used GoogleSites; it is much better; it is easier to navigate, easy to design and edit, and not as bunched up and messy looking with such small text.
