2B. Develop technology-enriched learning environments that enable all
students to pursue their individual curiosities and become active
participants in setting their own educational goals, managing their own
learning, and assessing their own progress.
This website enabled my students to further explore topics that we were exploring in class. They worked with familiar reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social studies tools. The site allowed them to monitor and assess their own learning progress while also developing their own curiosity. This site was used as a tool for students to use in order to practice their skills inside and outside the classroom. I have since moved on to a new position as a Behavior Specialist and have largely wiped the website of its resources. However, the site itself is still very functional and ready for my next assignment.

2C: Customize and personalize learning activities to address students’ diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources
In every classroom, there are always varying levels of achievement. NEWSELA allows teachers to choose nonfiction texts for their students which have multiple reading levels. With this in mind, I was able to customize the learning needs of each student by assigning articles at their levels. I transferred this to the home by creating a BlendSpace lesson for the parents. By doing this, I was able to ensure that students gain.

2D: Provide students with multiple and varied formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technology standards, and use resulting data to inform learning and teaching
In my current position as a Behavior Specialist, it is my goal to help children develop problem solving skills. One of the resources I use is Kelso's Wheel Choices. With this in mind, I decided to utilize Kahoot as an assessment resource to see if my lessons were being internalized. The fun, game-like atmosphere that Kahoot offers brings an element of easiness to an otherwise tough discussion. This was one of my favorite lessons to teach because I was able to tailor my lesson to the needs addressed by the school and also by what the students were not answering correctly.
