How to use technology as an educator

I think out of 8 ELA technology standards I feel prepared to teach them with my existing knowledge except for LAFS.4.SL.2.5, which is the ability to add audio recording and visual displays to presentations when appropriate to enhance the development of main ideas or themes. This is something that I cannot do with my existing knowledge, it is still a skill that I am trying to develop throughout my education because I haven't come across many free online programs that allow one to add audio and visual displays to presentations. But with the help of my EME2040 professor, myself along with the students in my class we are now aware of a website called, VoiceMemo, It is an online website where you are able to add your voice to a presentation. I will remember this website as an educator in the future. 

Using the CPALMS Educator Toolkit, HE.4.C.1.3, is a standard that describes ways a safe, healthy school environment can promote personal health. This is essential to an educational environment because students need to feel comfortable, because the more comfortable you feel in an education setting the easier it is to educate these students. Not only would this help with the physical healthiness of the classroom, but it can also help with the mental health of the students in the classroom as well. This is something that I wish some of my teachers were conscious of when I was younger, so it is something that I will be aware of in the future. 


From working on the Newsletter Design Assignment I learned to really enjoy the process. Designing things based off of aesthetic was something that I was not accustomed to do in an educational setting, but I understand that it is something that I would need to be aware and knowledgeable of when I am making Newsletters and/or making other Designs on a Word Document. One of the ways that I would improve my Newsletter Design in the future, I would add more detail to my design and make it more intricate. In the future, I would definitely use the skills that I acquired in this assignment to further educate my students. Here is a look at my Newsletter Design Assignment:
