The first technology I want to talk about it one i learned in the computer class! It's Microsoft publisher! I have never even worked with this tool life! Until the assignments in this class, I discovered it to be a EXTREMELY useful and fun tool! You can use it for just about anything! When you first enter the program it tells you all the different format options you have. For example, it has one for brochures, newsletters, fliers, greeting cards, labels, postcards, calendars, business cards and important word documents. If you click which one you need then it sets up a format for you that is so easy to follow and lets you create a nice newsletter or whatever project your doing easily and quickly. It also makes it easy to upload pics into your project, and also add things like, clip art, fun fonts, lots of colors and borders!

This tool will be very useful if I teach a little bit higher grade like fourth fifth or sixth. The students could use Microsoft Publisher for many of their assignments to make them nice and neat and also formatted correctly. I think they’d really enjoy this tool.

The next technology I found was one that all elementary age kids can use! Its called career voyage! It's hard for kids to know what they really want to do with their life when there are so many choices. We want them to have information on what jobs are growing, what jobs are paying, and what jobs are just emerging. This website is intended to be a helping hand for the kids to research the jobs they might like and to discover some new favorites. It’s not really like homework it’s more like having some fun! It’s a really fun website! It has a quiz for you to take to see what your interested in, then it gives you a list of jobs that match up with your interests! After that there are many videos on each job that the children can watch to see what each job involves!
This tool is extremely fun and interesting! I think elementary kids would love it! I think it will help them decide what they want to be even though it’s a long ways away in their future!
