I chose grade level 3 and the standard LAFS.3.L.3.4. This standard states that the teacher will address terms based on a 3rd grade reading level. It also states that when a new affix is added to a word, the teacher will address the new meaning. Teacher will use a previously known root word to help determine the meaning of a new word. Online and printed dictionaries/thesaurus will be used to help further define words. 

 I would use Mathematics Formative Assessment System in my classroom. This system has math skills that teachers can use in their classroom and rubrics that can help them grade their responses. The rubrics provide more room for students to be graded on their creativity rather than a right or wrong answer. The benefit of this would be moving forward, the teacher can learn how to improve student achievement. I would like to use this in my classroom because I believe it would be a beneficial way to see where there needs to be improvement in student's math skills. Also, providing math skills would be useful as a teacher so that the skills are already provided.




 I learned a lot about completing the newsletter assignment by using different tools in Microsoft Word that I haven't used before. I could improve in the future by learning more about Microsoft Word so I could fully utilize more of the skills available which would improve the overall quality of my newsletter. These skills that I have learned could help me in the future when/if I ever need to create a newsletter for my future classroom. I could also use these skills on Microsoft for a lot of other creative assignments like lesson plans or handouts for my students.

Diigo was a cool tool that I learned about this semester that I had not heard of beforehand. It is a cool blog style tool that I learned how to use annotation and keywords in order to describe what I am annotating. I didn't know that there was a Google Chrome shortcut which makes it very easy to use because you can share to your specific group and what you annotate goes straight to Diigo. Other than all of this, I thought the overall website was easy to use and I think it is cool that you can open other student's posts and leave comments on them. I also like how you can go through your website and highlight and leave comments on important items you want others to see. Teacher professional development is very important so that all teachers can stay up to date on current technology and new things that could be useful for their classrooms and to their students as well. Creating time for teachers to go to workshops and conferences with other teachers or workshops just put on by t...

ILP #2: PLN

https://voicethread.com/myvoice/thread/13755292/83671377/77547007 For this ILP, I chose Reddit for the Personal Learning Network. Reddit is a blog-like website where you can search sub-reddit pages to read about other things you search going on in the community. For example, as a teacher, there are teacher pages that you can look up for advice, tools, lesson plans, etc. As well as this, you as a teacher can create your own page and make posts on it and your students can join your page. This way, you can communicate with your students and also keep in touch with your community by joining other pages.

My name is Katelyn Holohan, I go by Katie, and I am a junior at Florida State University. I am 21 years old and I am from Sarasota, Florida. I have lived in Sarasota for 15 years but I was born in Nebraska. My major is Family & Child Sciences with a minor in education as my end goal is to become an elementary teacher. I work at a daycare whenever I go home and I worked with special needs children a lot when I was in high school and enjoy helping others. I love to travel and have been lucky enough to visit many different countries at such a young age. When I graduate I hope to move across the state and be able to travel and see more of the world. As technology advanced while I was growing up I used laptops that we were assigned in elementary school and were able to bring home with us, we would do assignments and projects on them. In middle school, we used laptops and desktops at school and I had my own laptop at home that I could work on for my schoolwork. My freshman year of high...
