Teacher pages on a school website are great ways for teachers to get information out to students and parents about what is going on in the classroom and how they can get extra support and practice outside of the classroom. During Covid-19 teacher websites have been especially helpful because while students are learning remotely, they may lose some important information. Teacher pages can help provide that extra information and fill the gaps on what some students may be missing. One teacher page I found was from Dale Public Schools and the teacher was Cindy Hill. She is a high school science teacher and on her site, she has links to various grade levels with information for each. There is a daily schedule, lesson plans, and links to educational websites. This will be helpful to her students because they can access this information whenever they need to catch up or to just practice the topics more. This can also allow parents to be up to date with information. 

I envision myself using technology to accomplish my own professional responsibilities to keep myself organized. For example, I can use tools like google calendar and the reminder app on my phone. These can help me keep due dates organized or important meetings so that I can always be on top of what is going on. Once I do start in the speech pathology field I can use different tools to communicate with my clients like email or google forms/google calendar. Again all of these can help me get feedback and also help me to keep appointments and things organized.

I had a good experience using PB works. I thought it was helpful that my group and I could all work on the project at the same time on each of our individual forms and I liked that it was easy to link other parts of the wiki on each page. This website allowed easy collaboration. One thing that I didn't like was that only one person could edit a specific page at a time, so if we all wanted to work on one thing together we couldn't or had to wait until the other person was done. If I became a teacher in the future, I could use this website to have group projects with the students, or I could use it with them and we could all create a class wiki. Each student could have an individual page and all the information could be kept together.

 Blog Journal #9      My experience in EME2040 has been great! I am taking one of the in-person sections. I really like this classroom experience because being in person gives me a chance to ask the instructor questions about things I may not understand on the assignments or portfolio items. Especially for me, because I sometimes get confused about using the technology, so having the instructor as a resource is super helpful. I also feel like I am more engaged in the class, as compared to a fully online class. I also think that it is helpful to have the zoom option if I am sick or have to miss class, so I can still be involved. When I am a teacher one thing I will do to improve the classroom experience is to have discussions in class more often between the students and between myself and the students. This will create a stronger teacher-student relationship which can lead to more growth!      Open Educational Resources (OER) are learning resources that...

 Journal #10      Assignment 5 was very interesting and I learned a lot about how to make interactive and engaging PowerPoints. With this assignment, I learned how to use buttons that allow the viewer to go forward and backward in the presentation. I also learned how to make it so it was like a game and not just switching through the slides in linear order. It was also interesting to use the different sound effects and transitions. This will also be useful for the future so that if I have a lesson I can use an interactive PowerPoint to make it more hands-on. I hope to improve this next time by adding more elements.      In my future field, I think I will mainly use data collection surveys to check in on my students and use them as a tool to build stronger relationships. In the future, I plan to be a speech-language pathologist in a school setting. I can use surveys to check in with my patients or students to see how they are doing in general and what i...
