 Surveys👀 I will defiantly be incorporating survey tools into my future classroom. Currently a couple of my teachers send out surveys to keep up with students personal lives to make sure we are flourishing. I plan to do this through websites like google surveys and anonymous canvas quizzes. If I end up in a elementary/middle school English/language arts teacher, I will send out surveys to students using these tools and optional surveys for parents to get to know them better.  Interesting Topics😀 I find the most interesting thing about other blogs is seeing the different perspectives my classmates have on websites we all used as well as blogging. I enjoyed blogging but I did not enjoy pbworks. For some students this differs. It's inspiring to see what my peers plan on incorporating in their classrooms, everybody produces such high quality work! Digital Badges and Tech-Flex💻 I did not participate in tech-flex or digital badges but after reading about it, they seem beneficial to un

  Distance learning 👀 I have enjoyed distance learning because even though there are due dates for assignments, it feels more freeing to my schedule. I work on assignments at my own pace, resulting in better quality work. I dislike how difficult it is to get in contact with my peers though.

I learned how to use SmartArt, record presentations, and have gained a better general understanding o

 

  Web Design I enjoyed created a class website! It was a process, but the final result was worth it. Weebley was easy to use and unless I find another webpage design website, I will probably be using it to create my future class website. I plan to encourage my class to use it and keep it updated. Click  here  to view my website. 🌠 Diigo My opinions have changed about Diigo. It has been causing problems on my computer. The Diigo webpage is helpful and I will use with my peers in the future to share resources. However, the website editing feature I will not continue to use. 💫 Technology Trends Teachers are responsible for our future generations awareness of technology. Technology changes so fast that it is hard to keep up. It is important for the future generation to be familiar with technology and to be able to transfer those skills into their future careers. A resource I found helpful to keep up with technology trends in the classroom is TeacherVision. It a website that makes new onl
