culture that is outside our own. I am promoting reflection by having my students question, discuss, and reflect on the time they will spend with two separate missionaries via Skype. Not only will we work face to face, but we will transfer knowledge through the internet to a completely different continent.
My future goal for this standard is to expand this activity even further. I would
like to take the opportunity of virtually meeting these two missionaries even further. The plan is to have my students look into some of the difficulties the missionaries talk about and discuss ways that society can solve some of these problems. I would like to also develop other tools with the guidance of my students, where they are in the drivers seat deciding how they would like to use Skype as an educational tool.

Standard 2
Pioneer Unit that takes place in my fourth grade classroom. Students are able to pursue their own character and final project in an effort to meet each of their individual needs. All students will meet the same learning goals, although they may achieve them through different means.
In the future I would like to expand the options that my students have for
completing this project. In order to continue meeting and exceeding the expectations of this standard, I would like to implement projects that involve more technology as well as be open to student ideas for their final products.

Standard 3
This social bookmarking site allows me to support students success while they are at home or at school.
Through my classroom Wiki I am able to provide my parents with a variety of online tools to help meet both their needs as well as that of their child.
Parents Web
This website allows me to post announcements, e-mail parents, post online newsletters, pictures, and various other tools that will help the parents in my classroom. I use the tool RenWeb to put the information online and parents view it through the Parents Web.
These are just a few of the tools that allow me to use technology while
communicating with those around me. By using these tools on a regular basis I am demonstrating that I am fluent with these forms of technology, communicating with others, and collaborating.
In the future I would like teach my students how they can make a Wiki or another
type of webpage. As a class, I would also like to start a blog that allows us to reflect upon our learning and extend that to our families.

This presentation allows me to work at presenting my students with the knowledge appropriate, legal use of technology and other sources. It ties directly in with one of the projects we complete in our class, but gives an overview that they will be able to use in the future. In this Skype activity my students will be able to work on practicing social interactions while using technology and have appropriate etiquette (even thought they are thousands of miles apart). Also, since my class will be learning about different cultures and traditions at the same time they will have a better understanding of the global tie with technology and the differences in culture.
Skype Lesson
In the future I see myself expanding the Skype lesson to different types of people.
Currently I will be using it for missionaries that we have been praying for, but I would like to use it with teachers I know who are abroad. It would be amazing for my students to interact with classes in other countries and even complete a lesson together.

Standard 5
Through the course Technology Integration in a P-12 Curriculum I worked on integrating technology into my classroom, while renewing myself and my cooperating teachers. Through the course Enhancing Education With Technology through Dordt University, participating in finding new ways of using technology appropriately within my classroom. I am also evaluating and reflecting the practices I currently use, as well as some that I should implement.
EDUC 533
Whether it be reading a new book, taking a graduate technology class, or participating in workshops with fellow teachers, I plan on continuing to grow in this area.
