When I first started exploring this site I thought to myself, hmm...this site is probably going to be like all the rest. Man, was I wrong! This site is totally different from any of the other sites we have looked at in this class. ALTEC has it all, there is a little bit of everything and it is all at one site!
I explored several of the resources provided on the ALTEC site, the ThinkTank, Academic Games, Teacher Tacklebox, and Rubistar! Each of these will be great assets to me in the future. I am amazed time and time again that there are such helpful teacher tools out there that not only I but other teachers don't know about!
My favorite resource that I have found this far was the Teacher Tacklebox! Not only will it help me in the future, but I can use it now, if I have an assignment in a class and I need some helpful resources this is the place to go! I am definitely going to keep exploring the ALTEC site and see what other useful tools become my favorites. I also am making notes to myself which ones will be the most helpful and when.
I chose to share the ALTEC site with Mindy Sedam, a second grade teacher at Chapman Elementary School! She had never heard of this site, and I find that odd because she has only been out of college for a year. Anyway, Ms. Sedam really like the ALTEC site, particularly the Teacher Tacklebox and the Academic Games. She said that for her it is hard to find ways to get her 2nd graders involved with technology and not have to do a lot of explaining (since their attention spans are very small)!
