 The particular website that I looked at is for a school in New Jersey. The teacher's website that I looked at is one of a PreK-3 teacher. On her page she had class resources page, a documents page, an inside our classroom page, and an announcements page. It is easy to navigate through and everything is well organized. She also included class photos which provides a personal element for the parents because it allows for them to see what is going on inside the classroom.

In my classroom I plan to utilize different online tools to better communicate with parents and efficiently accomplish my own tasks. I would like to maintain an online page if my school allows me to. If not, I would like to collect a list of parent emails at the beginning of the school year so that I can still maintain communication. I will also most likely utilize other online tools such as Microsoft Applications to create many of my in class materials. 

Using Canvas as a work space was a new and interesting experience for me. Most of the elements were pretty straight forward, and it was easy to upload our documents from other places. I think it may have been a little more confusing because it was a collaborative assignment. In the end we were able to successfully complete the assignment, but a few questions arose along the way.

Diigo is an interesting application and unlike any one that I have used in my previous academic experience. I like the ability to share PDFs and websites with our class as a group. It is also really helpful when having to do readings for class online. Its annotation features for web based articles and other readings is incredibly useful.  Using blogger this semester has been really beneficial for me. It has allowed me to not only utilize me knowledge, but attach it to real world scenarios. It will be a useful tool in later courses or teaching experiences as it provides me with resources that we have engaged with throughout this course. I would like to continue recapping and applying my knowledge after this blog has served its academic purpose.  A Web 2.0 resource that I take advantage of frequently outside of those we have discussed in class would be Google Docs and other Google applications. I use Google Docs as a staging area of sorts for most of my discussion board posts fo...

 I chose to cover the K-2 benchmarks. One that stood out to me was the first standard which was communication and collaboration and modeling and simulations. Essentially, for the communication and collaboration standard the student needs to be able to differentiate  between multiple digital tools that can be used for communication or collaboration,  perform searches of basic keywords and communicate information with others, collaborate with others to solve problems using technology, and give and receive constructive criticism on a collaborated project. For the modeling and simulations standard the student needs to be able to define simulation and understand the concepts presented by a simple simulation, explain how models and simulations are used solve real issues regarding science and engineering, explain how models can represent real systems, and use models to come up with solutions to questions alone and with others. Based on my current skill set, I believe that I coul...
