Post #3: ELA Standards, Technology in the Classroom, and Newsletter Design

ELA Standards

The ELA standard that I feel most prepared to teach is EL.7, the standard on multimedia literature. I am excited about the idea of incorporating visual and audio into my lesson plans, and I feel comfortable doing this through YouTube videos. The standard that makes me the most nervous is the standard RI.7, because I feel that I need more practice before I will be comfortable creating engaging multimedia text for my students to use.

Technology in the Classroom

I hope to teach high school English. I hope to incorporate multimedia projects to make my lessons more engaging. I will need to teach my students digital citizenship by making sure that I follow fair use policies in my own presentations. Since I will be teaching older students, I can also teach them how to responsibly use copyrighted material in their class projects. 

Newsletter Design

The newsletter design project taught me how to do a few new things with Microsoft Word, such as how to create two columns on a page. I have to admit that I struggled with this project because I had a hard time making everything align on the page the way that I wanted. This project showed me that I still have more to learn about a program I thought I was very familiar with,
