         After reviewing the ELA standards the one that really stood out to me were the ones that applied to grade eleven and twelve. In your junior and senior year of high school it is very imperative that you are learning the basic requirements and skills to help prepare you for SAT/ACT and for college. Standard, Standards Technology 11-12 LAFS.1112.L.3.4, really sticks out because it deals with the students being able to comprehend and the meaning of words and phrases that they are unfamiliar with. Online dictionaries and other tools were super resourceful in highs school. They allowed me to be able to understand context that I was unfamiliar with. The other standards dealt with how you can take information and put it into different formats such as diagrams, pictures, videos, etc,. All of those skills are very valuable and will be used throughout the rest of your life either in school or in the workforce.
           The tool or resource that I found to be most beneficial for my classroom would be the instructional resources that CPALMS Educator Toolkit offers. This is actually something that is extremely helpful in the classroom as a teacher. I was looking specifically at the ones offered for grades 9-12 and it offers lessons plans and virtual manipulatives. Having pre-made lessons plans is not something every teacher would agree on but personally I would use it a main resource in order to teach the students because it is more difficult to teach at a high school level. 
          At first I was not a fan of the Newsletter Design assignment but then it got interesting as i progressed. I am usually very good with word but this made it a little bit tricky for me. Luckily I am really good with figuring out how to navigate things but it was not easy. In the end result I was pleasantly surprised with how my Newsletter turned out. I was able to gain new skills such as adding in different borders and creating a cut out permission slip. In the future I will be able to implement these skills in whatever career force that I go into whether its making a flyer or a birthday card. Next time I hope to improve the time it took me to complete the assignment now that I know how to do it

    I am glad that you managed to solve the difficulties in Newsletter design. A lot of projects and assignments in this class is designed to be a problem-solving experience and opportunities for you to test out/ showcase your style. When you start your career and there is no class of ed tech, you will have to solve the problems on your own for the most of time.

The website that I found is for a 5th grade math class. From first looking at the website you can tell that the teachers audience is very clear. It is designed in a kid friendly way for both the parents and the students to be able to utilize the site. The type of information displayed on the page are assignments for the class on what they will be doing in class for that day, a meet the teacher page, and it has an awesome resources page available for the parents to use with their children. http://5thgraderocks5thgraderules.blogspot.com/p/meet-teacher.html In the future Technology is going to be bigger than it is now so it will most definitely play a prominent role in my future professional career. I plan on using certain resources such as Excel, Powerpoint, and Microsoft Word in my professional future. These resources are diverse and can be used for multiple things in the work force. They allow you to utilize organizational skills in a simple, non-complex way. After going to the te...

The flipped classroom approach is when you give the students the material online before the class. This means that the students are able to learn the material before class. Then, class time can be used for discussion and deeper clarification on the subject at hand. This approach allows the students to gain a better understanding of the information. An open educational resources are basically an online learning resource that are very accessible. These resources allow teachers to adapt these resources and use them with in their classroom free of charge, it helps broaden their material. The educational resource I am discussing can be found on through this link:    https://www.oercommons.org/courses/100-people-a-world-portrait/view . It provides you information on global issues, pictures, videos, stats, and ways to get involved.  The powerpoint assignment was very interesting. In my opinion the non-interactive powerpoint was harder than the interactive powerpoi...
