1. Some of the ELA Standards featured on the website are very familiar to me and I have been implemented into my education throughout the years. Two of the standards that I can say I feel most comfortable with is the use of Digital Media to make Presentations (Prezi/Powerpoint) and using the Internet to work on written pieces and assignments. I am certified in Microsoft Office so I've used the applications almost everyday since high school, and I have used online sources a lot to complete research papers and assignments. Some ELA Standards that I don't know as much are the use of digital tables and charts. I am not the best at creating them, but I am open to learning more.

2. Although the CPALMS Educator Toolkit doesn't offer many resources for Special Education students, I know that the use of Assistive Technology is extremely beneficial for students with Special Abilities. Students with Visual Impairments use the assistive technology in order to apply listening and auditory skills, such as discriminating sounds and associating concepts, actions, and ideas with expressive language. I would use this in my classroom because I believe this is an important tool to teach students because it can be used in their day-to-day lives. It is important to use these technologies since they are the most accurate and closest to actually sounding similar to the original.

 3. When working on the newsletter decide, I felt like I was refreshing my skills of what I had learned previously when I was getting certified for Microsoft Office. I had forgotten how to create a banner, and how to put information into two columns. I believe this is extremely useful if you are trying to make a newsletter/flyer that needs a lot of space. I had a lot of information for one of my three articles, so splitting it up into two columns made much more space for graphics and images. This will be extremely useful in the future whenever I have to create documents for my students, whether we have a field trip or a formal letter for their parents.

    I am glad that you feel your skills have been refreshed. A lot of projects and assignments in this class is designed to be opportunities for you to test out/ showcase your style.

I really enjoyed my experiences with Diigo, it was very useful when annotated and creating notes. I liked that we were able to share with our classmates what we were annotated. It allowed them to go back into the article and see which exact section we were annotating. I didn't like how the website what set up though, it was a bit confusing and seemed very old school. I would use this in my classroom if it was a bit more modernized. So far throughout the semester, I have enjoyed blogging about my assignments and my aspirations in the educational field. I have never blogged in the past so this is my first time doing it for a class. I have enjoyed being able to express myself and my thoughts on educational technology, it is great for those that enjoy reflection. I have learned that a blog doesn't necessarily need to be an assignment, but it can be about other subjects such as math. A useful Web 2.0 website that I would like to one day use in my classroom is the app ...

A paragraph about “The Flipped Classroom.” Explain this instructional design in your own words. A paragraph about open educational resources (OER).  Describe these resources in your own words.  Find a online resource (blog post about OER, examples of OER materials, an article about OER, etc.), provide a brief synopsis, and link it to your blog. A paragraph on new skills you acquired from working on the two PowerPoint assignments. Reflect what you like/don’t like about each and how you can improve it next time.  Post   a   screen   shot   of   both   assignments . The Flipped Classroom is an instructional design that ultimately "flips" the traditional learning method. In this design, students learn the course material and do the readings while they are at home, and complete the homework/activities in the classroom. This gives students the opportunity to ask teachers any questions they made have when trying to complete the work. This ...

A paragraph about how you think you will use data collection (surveys) and/or reporting (Excel) tools as a teacher. Be specific about your subject matter area and the grade level. A paragraph on topics you found most interesting from reviewing your classmates’ blogs. A paragraph on what technology-related skill you would like to learn next, why, and how you will achieve this goal. I feel like I would be using data collection and reporting tools as a teacher when doing grades for my students, or when trying to conduct a "first day of school survey". I would use Excel to keep tabs of whose assignments i've already graded, in order to not get anything lost. I would use surveys most likely on the first day of school to get to know each of my students and receive information that I should know such as dietary restrictions and health concerns. I can also use surveys at the end of the year to see what my students learned in my class. Some topics that I found most...
