I think I am prepared to teach the standard involving comparing a written story to audio, video or live version. Throughout school in many English classes I was in we used video or live versions of Shakespeare to help better understand the more difficult vocabulary. It is such a great resource and can help kids not fall behind that are at lower reading levels. I think I am going to need to learn further how to explore digital tool to produce and publish work, and collaborate with others. I have taken a couple of online classes and struggled in this area, more work with technology can help me improve in this field.

I could see my class using ClassDojo to help manage student behavior. I could discuss with them online empowerment and encourage rewards for students with good behavior, or improved behavior once they see they were lacking in days previous. I want to be a kindergarten teacher so the use of technology in classrooms is difficult when they are that young, but behavior management is important at their grade level, and it can be shared with the parents.

I took digital design in high school and love being creative so I thought it was a fun way to display our skills with Word in something we will have to do as educators. I learned a lot of formatting with the assignment through headers and the columns, I can improve on it next time by adding more creative elements in it to make it stand out.
