Mrs. Folsom's teacher page
    When researching teacher websites, I found what was expected: introductions about the teacher, important dates for the year, and documents or assignments. Some teachers include more information on their websites than others. I have included a screenshot of a teacher page with lots of information, but other teacher pages I visited only had a "meet the teacher" tab. 
    When I am a teacher, I will definitely be using technology to accomplish my responsibilities. First of all, for communication with students and parents, I will be sending out a visually pleasing newsletter each week with the assignments we will be working on, homework, important reminders, and any other information that parents should be aware of. I also want to send home behavioral and educational progress reports electronically to parents each month, so that if changes need to be made, parents are made aware. For my own personal success, I will download an interactive to-do list that displays on my desktop to stay on top of my tasks. 
    I have a love-hate relationship with Assignment 2. I enjoyed the assignment itself: it was not too difficult and I had fun evaluating my website. However, I have never used the pages on Canvas, so it was a little bit hard to figure out how to format our project the correct way. We also almost did way more work than we needed to because someone misread the assignment, and told our group what to do. After I realized that it seemed like too much work for a 5 point assignment, I double checked the assignment and luckily caught the mistake. Other than those small hiccups, I enjoyed the assignment.

We are able to see how other teachers are successfully making lesson plans, classroom techniques, and teaching strategies that we might be able to implement in our own classrooms.

EME Journal #8

 I enjoyed the Web Design assignment very much. Any assignment where I get to showcase my creativity no longer feels like homework. I learned how to create a usable website with links, lists, calendars, and visuals. I can use my new design skills to create a website for students and parents to use when I work in a school setting later on in life. Here is a link to my website ! To be completely honest, Diigo was a confusing site to me at first. I definitely had to utilize the tutorial videos to successfully use this website. However, I can see why it is beneficial. Though the design is. in my opinion, plain and outdated, I think the two most useful tools are groups and being able to annotate other sites and files. Diigo makes it easy to add your own notes to websites or articles without having to download them and use a separate application. It also is super convenient to be able to share work like links or articles with groups. As a teacher, this would be useful to see what other t...
