   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.
