Silas Smith's Teaching Tools

A bit about me

I'm a full time student at The University of South Alabama majoring in secondary education emphasizing English. This is my second year as an assistant Teacher in the Special Education department at Gautier High School. In my studies I'm learning to take advantage of every teaching tool thats available to me. I may not use all of the new teaching tools in a classroom, but being aware of the many resources and how to use them is an important part of my responsibility and benefit as a teacher. My business at present is to learn all that I can, and to can all that I learn.

Using Google Tools

There are so many ideas, pictures, news items, and so much more that this educational tool has to offer. This site is an example of just how fast information is becoming available to the population. With all that this website offers, it's given remarkably with simplicity. This is a very well known tool that's used by many.

Blogs as Teaching Tools

Many teachers in America and other countries are now using blogs as another helpful teaching tool. These websites share lots of vital information for and by students and teachers. This very important tool has made a great impact on today's teaching effort everywhere it's being used. I encourage any and all elementary and high school teachers to take advantage of this resource especially while it's available at minimal cost if any.
