I really enjoyed the web design assignment. I learned that I am a little more creative than I thought I was. One thing I liked was that it gave you a really good base set up but you could make it your own. One thing I didn’t like was that I couldn’t put my own header picture because I was using the free version. I think everything I learned from this assignment will be very useful for my future career. Teacher or not a lot of occupations require you to have a website. However, as a teacher I know a great program and skills to use for my teacher website.

I learned that Diigo is a great resource to use when annotating articles. I also learned that this a great resource to use to keep all your materials organized and saved in one place. Before I took this class I had no idea what Diigo was. I like that you can share your articles and annotations with those in your class. This application can allow for collaboration between my students in my future classroom. Students can learn from each other by reading others materials and annotations.

Staying up to date with changes in technology is super important. As a teacher you use technology every day in the classroom. It is also your responsibility to keep your students informed when it comes to technology. Therefore, you have to know yourself in order to teach it. Attending occasional trainings can help you stay up to date on the technology trends in education. Reading education blogs is also a great way to stay up to date. Websites such as the one linked are also super informative.

Microsoft word is very user friendly and easy to maneuver. The only time I prefer to use a software such as google dox is if it’s something I am working with others on. This is because it is easier for multiple to edit documents on google dox. The standard that is most important to me is 2.2b. This standard is about using your role as a teacher to speak up about getting the technology resources students need to meet each of their needs. Equity is something that I believe is so important in the education field. Not every child’s needs or resources are the same. Each student should have what they need to succeed. Technology and digital content have become a huge part of education. However, there are some students who can’t afford a laptop or do not have Wi-Fi at

  In the future I plan to teach 2 nd grade general education. I plan to use surveys to track their progress. I would use it to see what they know before and after lessons. This will also allow me track the effectiveness of my lesson giving. The topics I found most interesting when reviewing my classmates’ blogs is the diversity. None of the websites or blogs I saw where the same. Everyone has their own sense of style and their own creativity, and it shows. I really enjoyed looking at my classmate’s website designs. We all had the same directions, yet all put it together differently and I love that. I think it really speaks about education in general were all doing the same thing, yet we all have our own way of doing it. While I do not have any experience with digital badges and tech flex I read about them. I think it is a a great idea. It’s a great way to get involved and get excited about educational technology. It’s a great way to bring and keep fun in learning. The technology
