#1: This assignment was great to work on because it helped me reflect and think of the reason
why I want to become a teacher. I enjoyed writing my reasoning as to why I chose this career
path, it gave me a boost to keep succeeding every day. I would use a similar assignment to this
one for my future students, for example, at the beginning of the school year I would have the
students write some goals they want to achieve this year and save them. At the end of the year, I
will give them back so that they can see if they accomplished their goals.
#2: I had so much fun working on this assignment because it brought out my creative side. Not
only was this assignment helpful when it came to using technology but it also helped me think
like a teacher and how I would like to set up my future classroom. The software I used to
complete the assignment was Google Docs. I learned that we can add shapes and images, I
thought that the software was specifically for typing material only. As for the students in the first
grade, I would have them use Google Docs to write summaries based on the books we read so
that I can see if they really understood the text.
#2.2: When creating the award and the Event flyer brought me so many ideas to help get the
parents involved with the children's school events. The award was great to create in a fun manner
that will catch the student's attention to achieve it.

#3: There were two parts to this assignment, for the first part it was a little time-consuming to
find all the answers to the scavenger hunt but it was enjoyable. For the second part, it was
interesting creating my own web page. Weebly has so many tools and features that I could make
my webpage feel like it fits me best. I found that it is important to store all the things you have
learned over time. I also thought the webpage scavenger hunt is a great idea to have the students
do when introduced to new software so they can really learn how to get around the website or
application.
#4: When creating these two slide presentations, I had to use two different software to compare
and contrast them. I have used both of the software in the past but one thing I did learn was how
to add hyperlinks or attach them to an image. This a beneficial concept because it takes you to
the page you want to present and as soon as you are done it takes you right back to your
presentation. Since I am now more comfortable using both applications, I can teach my students
how to use them to create fun and interactive presentations.
#5: The application that was used to complete this assignment was entirely new to me. I had
never used Excel before but I am forever thankful that I was taught and got the opportunity to try
it for the first time. When looking forward to becoming a teacher, grading is one of the most
important tasks of the job. Excel made it super easy to insert the student's grades and
assignments and learning this was by far the biggest advantage I am taking away from this class.
Excel will be great for my future students to use so they can collect and keep track of the data
they have found during a science or seed-growing project.

#6: This assignment was based on evaluating different educational software, after trying the
software I think that it was hard to find whether it was worth introducing to my future classroom.
Even after trying the trials, I believe that it would take more time and testing to find the true
benefit of the software. I do not think I would include this activity with my students.
#7: This activity was another fun one but it took plenty of research to learn about new emerging
technologies. I felt like I was creating a PowerPoint presentation so I can convince the school
board to fund the technology due to its benefits to the student’s learning experience. The only
challenge I encountered was finding an article on the CSN library that was up to date and that
gave the information I was seeking to complete the activity. In the future, I could have the
students research and make a presentation on a new technology that they believe will make an
impact on their learning.
#8: Learning about assistive technologies was a real advantage to me, there is so much tech out
there that we do not hear about and I learned about so many. I think that as a teacher you can
never know what to expect when getting a new class of students. With the knowledge I gained
from this activity I feel better prepared if I do get the opportunity to work with a student with a
disability.
