My favorite personal/professional use of technology
My favorite use of technology is being able to take pictures/videos to share with our students, families and with my own family to document special events in our children's lives. Being able to record these events is very special to our children and their families.

The most frustrating aspect of using "technology"
Since I am technology challenged, I find it frustrating when I can't get things done as I don't know how or where to get to the information I need or how to download to my computer. My most difficult area is working on the computer but I am trying to take more time to learn how to manipulate through the maze of resources available. Since I am still using the Apple Computer which is geared to the children at school, I am not able to add and download the programs that I would like to use. Hopefully, our new laptop will be available to our classroom very soon.


 * 1. Think about the materials you created/used or the ways that you used your camera or Flip:**
 * What was your objective for this activity?
 * How did you plan to monitor/assess children's learning?
 * How did you incorporate UDL principles into this?
 * How did you represent the ideas/concepts/skills in different ways?
 * What options did children have for expression?
 * In what types of ways were children engaged?
 * What behaviors did you observe to let you know that your children were engaged?


 * 2. What websites that we explored at our last session did you use?**
 * How did they fit into your lesson plan?
 * How did your children respond?
 * What types of materials did you download and use?
