UEN Resources

I can use UEN resources in my future classroom several ways to enhance learning for my students and add a technology element to my teaching. There are several resources on UEN that are available and helpful. One really great service that UEN provides is Pioneer Library. Pioneer offerrs some pretty amazing resources. One component in Pioneer that I love is their Preschool Pioneer. Because I am an Early Childhood major, I love anything that has to do with small children and because we are in a digital age, younger children are becoming more technologially capable. Teaching children at a young age how to use technology will give them a great start on their education.
Also in Pioneer, they have several search engines to find information that would be helpful in the classroom. Ebsco host and eMedia are great ways to find alternative and supporting information to academic concepts. Also there is links to several news and information sites that can be used to inform your classroom on issues and events happening in the world. You can access previous articles and research information to add to lessons and really connect what your teaching to the world around your students.
UEN just provides several opportunities to access, credible and useful information to use in the classroom.
Also UEN is great to help with creating a lesson plan. They have a great feature in My UEN that can create lessons plan. I love this because when creating a lesson play, you can focus on the content and not the format stuff. It gives you a link to all the information that would be helpful in lesson plan such as ILO's and objectives and such. I am really excited to start this lesson plan and I think I will use this feature a lot in creating all my lessons.
