One website resource I would use in my classroom is this website : http://illuminations.nctm.org/. It is a website that is used for math teachers, like my future-self, to teach their students in a fun-filled three-dimensional way. It has material for all students kindergarten through twelvth grade. On the website, there are over 500 lesson plans to use with your students. These include, for example 9-12 grade students, algebra, geometry, and probability and statistics games that will excite students to learn more about math.

The website also has many activities for your students. These include things such as graphing, box-plotting, geometric investigations, figures, histograms and much, uch more. It also has a section called Standards, set up by the "Principles and Standards for School Mathematics". The Standards include those of Numbers and Operations, Algebra, Geometry, Measurement, and Data Analysis and Probability. All in all, this website would really help me, as a teacher, to reach out to my students and help them better understand the material being taught to them.

One technological skill I would like to learn next would have to be more teaching applications. I want to be able to fully understand how to work and run all the applications that apply to being a teacher. Instead of having something like this slow me down as a teacher, if I understand it all, it will allow me to focus on other aspects of teaching besides the technology in the teaching applications.

One way I may be able to achieve this goal is to take some more education technology classes that may increase my awareness on how to use these programs. Even if it isn't for a few years, I can always increase my ability as a teacher, even during my teaching career. I can even do this by asking other teachers or professors personal advice or help in this field.
