      The ELA technology standards that I feel I am most prepared to teach would be the "Consuming" Tech standards, "Integrate and evaluate". This to me would have to be the easiest standard just being a visual learner I feel that it is so much easier to teach students through media and present certain presentations in more of a fun way rather than just reading the textbook. Also using the "Producing" Tech standards in "Use Digital Media" also seems pretty simple in using without having an background on it. Using the audio recordings and stories of poems and drawings seem self explanatory as they are written in the standards that I believe I will be able to easily teach to my future students. The standards that I may need more preparation on is the "Integrate and Evaluate" Standards and the "Vocabulary: Use Context Clue" standards. To me both of these have to deal with making sure you understand the meaning of words and definitions and to be able to break down and evaluate each term. Overall the standards seem self explanatory to me and I am very excited to use them in the classroom.

     Reading this chapter really taught me a lot about the different types of applications and softwares that teachers have access to, and that is great to have such a widespread of opportunities. I would love to use the video conferencing software where you can video chat with another classroom that may be on the other side of the world. I remember doing this in middle school with students in another state and it was the most intriguing opportunity I had as a student and if I am able to offer this to my future students I think it would really help learning in the classroom. "Students can demonstrate the technology skills necessary to use and participate on the Web," this digital citizenship guideline will need to be addressed to my suture students because I plan on teaching  3rd grade and younger and they do need to learn how to navigate on the web and be able to find specific information.

        I am slowly realizing that I am not as skilled on word as I thought I was. I realize that this is a very difficult assignment and that I need to keep editing it. At the moment I am not currently done with it but I think I have a decent idea of what i should be doing it will just be figuring out how to input it all onto word, that will be the difficult part. I can most defiently see myself using this process in the future for my students. I plan on having a Newsletter going out every month, it will be very helpful to the parents and to see if they are interested in getting involved in the classroom.
