ILP Design: Google Classroom
For this assignment I chose to use the tool Google Classroom. I was able to create a classroom page and publish annoucements, assignments, and folders. It helped me learn how to use the website and how it could be helpful in the future. I then created a voice thread slide show on what I created and what I learned from it.
ILP Participation: Teacher Interview

For this assignment I interviewed a teacher to learn about how she uses technology in her classroom and what she thinks of it. I was able to hear the different effects technology has on her class and how it plays a role in their daily classroom. I then created a voice thread slideshow on what I learned from the interview.

Teacher pages on a school website give students and parents the chance to look at who they are, what they teach and how to contact them. For this assignment, I looked at my old middle school's website and found the teacher pages. On these pages you see things like a syllabus, class requirements, and information on the course. It also includes resources for the students and the parents. The specific class page I was looking at is for a Montford Middle School chorus and drama class. It seems like a helpful resource for students and parents to use.

When it comes to technology, there's many ways to incorporate it into making your professional responsibilities more effective and efficient. I would do this by taking advantage of technology that is designed for the job I have. For example, as a teacher I would incorporate things like ClassDojo and computers to help in the classroom. Computers would make it easier for student's assignments to be graded and organized. I also could use things like Microsoft Word and Powerpoint to create whatever documents I need.
In the technology sandbox, each of the tools could be used in the classroom. One that stuck out to me the most, however, is the giant writing tablet. Students could get the chance to write on the smart tablet, keeping them engaged by letting them be more interactive. The tablet could be used for writing lessons, math lessons, drawing, etc. The students would find it very interesting and it would have beneficial effects in the classroom.

My initial experiences using Diigo were mostly me being confused. It took a while to understand the website and how to use it, but afterwards I could see how the website would be a useful tool. I liked how after you get the hang of it, it isn't very hard to use. There wasn't much I didn't like about it, especially because I still don't have very much experience with it.
Blogging has been an interesting experience. I've never done anything like this before, so it's unique and new to me. I've enjoyed getting to learn how to use the website and how to set everything up. I've learned how the website works and how to type up a blog.
A Web 2.0 tool I think I might use when teaching is youtube. It's a great way to teach material to a class, and a video often gets the student's attention. There's so many options on what to choose for your class, and most topics will have a video on them. A popular example is the plethora of math tutorial videos, where it shows you how to do various math problems. This is helpful for students who might be struggling in a certain area or topic. Youtube is a helpful resource that can be beneficial to students, but could also be easily distracting. www.youtube.com

When it comes to ELA technology standards, I feel like I would be the most prepared to teach the standards of smart board activities and knowing text features with my existing knowledge. The standards of creating interactive story books and online graphic softwares would require more learning on my part since I don't know very much about them. All of these could be successful and beneficial if implanted in the classroom.
A resource I really liked from the CPALMS Educator Toolkit is the Science Student Tutorials. The interactive tutorials make the objective clear and allow the students to practice what they're learning in a fun and interesting way. It goes through a series of giving off information about it and giving examples of how to use and apply it. The video makes it easy to pay attention and grasp the information being given. I would use this in my classroom because it is a fun way to incorporate technology while teaching the students.
The Newsletter Design assignment helped me learn many new skills in word. Some of the skills I vaguely remembered from previous assignments, so the assignment was a nice refresher of those. Other skills I learned just from this assignment, such as the inserting the time and date that would refresh on its own. I liked getting to apply all the skills to create the newsletter, and getting to be creative with it. This assignment can be beneficial for the future when I'm a teacher and I can use it to make my own newsletters and other documents in the classroom.
