I need to learn more about creating and editing websites and everything that is involved such as embedding, and using links...

I feel fairly comfortable with a select amount of resources and tools but i still think there is a lot out there that we even have access to this semester that I would like to learn about and familiarize myself with.
I will need to stay up to date on technology options and resources that are available, they can change daily so in a few years there may be a Plethora of new and exciting technology options!

I feel very confident with general technology such as Microsoft office, google docs, web browser, and using other technology tools in the classroom.

I learned how to create a website and edit it over this entire semester and this allowed me practice to master this goal! Through creating our teacher website, this e portfolio, and the Service Learning Project I ave been able to embed resources, add links, and navigate the website while editing.
I've Learned all about online safety through the different class preps that I completed as well as through the "classroom rules regarding technology" piktochart I made and the emaze video I created about online safety and how to approach it and be cautious. This allowed me to have clear classroom rules as well as knowing how to handle the situation more clearly now.
Throughout this semester I have been able to learn about several different assistive technology tools that I can use for my students in the future. these include the ipad apps that can put a colored filter over their paper, as well as apps that can read aloud their text on their paper or on a device. Alternative keyboards and online organizers are available as well. I have also learned ab out different sites and places to find these resources and stay up to date such as the different twitter hashtags like #Spedchat.
