Weekly Reflection: Powerpoint continued

What?
In finishing up the assignment that we did in our pods last week something that I learned about a while ago was brought to my attention again. That is the ability to store documents online. So far we have learned of two places (at least) that this can be done, both on our UEN page and on Google sites. I would have to say I like the format of the Google sites file cabinet better than that of UEN, but I believe they are both very useful.
So What?
The reason I am bringing this up, even though we learned about it a while ago is that it hit me this week just how useful this will be when I am a teacher. I think my favorite part about this feature is that allows me to keep all my stuff in one place. I really like being able to consolidate things like assignments and in this case, they will be available online to both me and the students if I choose to do so. By doing this I wont have to worry about where to have students find paper documents like worksheets and study guides and electronic media such as videos and PowerPoint presentations.
Now What?
The only thing I can think to do now is practice using these online storage areas. I also think it would be good now to plan how exactly I plan to use and organize them. As I continue to learn how to create more and more things such as Webquests and online stories etc. I will make them available on my classroom website. That way I will be able to quickly find them when I need them and I can access them nearly anywhere without having to worry about flash drives or Cd's. This class has really been helpful in showing me features such as these that have saved me the time and worry that come with having to transfer documents from place to place or when I need to print them at school.
