  https://www.leonschools.net/Domain/7401 This school page is a high school science teachers class page. She has posted an announcement, upcoming assignments for both different subjects, and all her contact information. The attendance for the week is posted and she also offers optional assignments for the students. I really liked the way that she formatted her page and the information she used.  I think I will use a lot of technology to help me accomplish my professional responsibilities. I will use resources to help my students such as Kahoot, Class Dojo, Google Docs, etc. I will also use technology such as Google calendar, online reminders, and Microsoft word to keep my professional duties and notes organized. I have always been a hard copy person but there a lot of great technology resources to take advantage of.  My experience working on the PB Works was not great because the site kept crashing. This pushed back my groups ability to work on the project together when we planned and

    This was my first time using Diigo and I think it is really useful. It is a great way to share resources and connect with what other people are finding and using. I think it is a great tool for finding important information and tips from other teachers. It is also a great way to connect with others and find people who are researching the same things as you. One negative thing about Diigo is that it is not super user friendly. It was a little hard to navigate at first and understand how to post, but it is worth it once you figure it out.      I have really enjoyed blogging so far.

I also like how I am able to see what my classmates are posting. From doing the blog, I have learned how to create a blog, how to change the layout and designs, and link other things to a blog. This could be a rea

Standard:   Grade 2 LAFS.2.RL.3.7  "Use information gained from the illustrations and words in a print or digital text to demonstrate understanding of its characters, setting, or plot."       I feel semi confident in my ability to implement this strategy at this time in my school career. I am very much a hands on person when it comes to learning and I prefer to handwrite everything. I have to write everything before I type it, including discussion boards, essays, blog posts, etc. I think I could make the online posters that come with this standard but I would have to learn how to use the storybook website and how to make comic strips. I have a lot to learn to be more comfortable with technology but over time, I will be able to implement this strategy successfully in my own classroom.      The resource that I found in the CPALMS toolkit is a science resource for second graders. It is called Solids, Liquids, and Gases, Oh My! This is an interactive video and practice tool for c
