I had never heard of the word portaportal until I had to create on in class. When I first heard of the word I was like what in the world is that. Porta what? Once I was told what it was I thought that it was a useful tool for anyone who works on multiple computers. I will definitely use this site during my career as a teacher. The really nice thing about it is that you can have guests look at your portaportal.

I can use my portaportal in my classroom by having my fellow teachers be my guests on my portaportal so they can see some of the websites that I have on there. Also, I can have the other teachers I work with share with me some of the websites that they like to use, and I can add those on my portaportal. I can also use it at any computer I happen to be at in the school. So if I were to work on something at home, I could put that site on my portaportal and be able to have access to it at school.

The portaportal will improve students learning because I now have a way of keeping important websites for the students to use right at my fingertips. I could also have a portaportal that is just for the students and I could give them guest access to it so that they just stick with the sites that I have on there and they are not searching all over and using sites that aren't as important to their learing.

I think that technology has come a long way over the years. When I was in grade school I do not remember working on a computer at all. It wasn't until high school that I remember taking a typing class. I think with all the technology that we have now the students are at an advantage because they have a wealth of information available to them with a click of a mouse.
