For the class website I looked at, I went to John G. Riley Elementary school and went to Mrs. Gainous's 3rd grade class page. Along with looking at other pages, I found a lot of similarities within class pages. Most all of them had a "Meet the Teacher" sections where it had information about the teacher herself. There was a page for assignments where the parents and students could look at them to see what they had to do. Most all of them had their class calendar posted with important dates throughout the year.
I imagine myself to use technology in my classroom through websites like class websites and blogs. I think it is a great way for students to interact and be up to date with what is going on so there is no confusion. Also, I think that a couple of iPads for children to use would be very good. There are many innovative apps that could be used on it and it would be a fun way for students to learn.
The technology I would most incorporate in my classroom after visiting the Sandbox would be the AR or Augmented Reality. It comes as apps on phones, most of them free, and can show many different things such as the inside of a body and brain. If I had an unlimited budget, I would get the Microsoft computer they had in the Sandbox lab. It could do so much from art to anatomy and is easy to learn. It would be a great way for the kids to get hands on experience with subjects.
