I researched a lesson plan labeled "A Writing Activity- Learning About Penguins." This lesson plan is for a 2nd grade classroom. I enjoyed this lesson plan and felt it had a very detailed plan follow that would be good for students to learn. This lesson plan did not incorporate technology other than the PowerPoint it was being taught off of, but I think it would be a good addition. You could have students bring in printed out pictures, from google, of Penguins. Also, with the help of a parent, they could look up online some questions about penguins that you send them home with and then discuss it the next day since this is a 5 day lesson plan.   http://www.cpalms.org/Public/PreviewResourceLesson/Preview/50725

Throughout school I have done many presentations and projects that incorporate these skills that make me feel confident in teaching them. I think I would have to learn more about the "Text Structure" standard. I don't feel confident in teaching these standards since I have not had much experience with them.

I think technology in the classroom is better for older ages so they can understand more how to use it.     I really enjoyed making this newsletter. I think it will benefit me greatly in the future since I do want to be a teacher and I will most likely have to create a newsletter just like this. This assig...

      As a student, I use Microsoft Word frequently. I use it to write assignments, do projects, take notes, and much more. My teachers use Microsoft Word even more than I do! They use it in many of their lesson plans. They can also make test and quizzes on it, as well as in class/homework worksheets. Microsoft Word benefits us all greatly and helps students learn more effectively in the classroom.      An experience I have with copyright would be when I was reading a copyrighted book and I had to write a paper on it and had to make sure to cite it correctly so it would not be plagiarized. As a teacher, I would use a variety of programs to make activities for my students since many things are copyrighted and can't be used. I feel that having students create some of their own work can help them learn better in a variety of ways.      Although technology can be very useful, it can lead to many problems as well. A major problem that comes alon...
