I think that one ELA standard that I will be able to successfully and easily be able to teach to my students is to use digital tools to produce and publish writing and to work on activities together. This will allow my students to collaborate and think/work together. I think that by using a smart board (something I am already familiar with) I will be able to do this effectively. One ELA standard that I think I may struggle with is creating audio recordings or stories or poems and adding pictures or drawings. This is because I do not have a lot of experience with the kind of technology that allows you to do this, as I have never really needed to use it before.
One resource or tool from the CPALMS toolkit that I think would be helpful is the lesson plan resource for teachers. Especially as a new teacher, I think it would definitely be helpful to see example lesson plans or to have an aide in creating them. This is not to say that I would completely copy them or use the worksheets provided or go through the exact same process. I just think that I would probably use them to get ideas of activities and lessons to teach my kids that go along with the curriculum.
Being an after-school counselor at an elementary school here in town, I already had experience creating flyers and announcements/permission slips to be sent home to students' parents prior to the newsletter design assignment for this class. However, I think that creating this newsletter definitely helped me in the sense that I am now more familiar with Microsoft Word and all the features it has. This will help me in the future because at work and in my future career I will be more time-efficient when it comes to creating things such as this. I want to be a special education teacher, so being able to effectively get newsletters out to parents and communicating with them will be a huge aspect of creating a successful environment for the students.
