Reflections
For both lessons modeling and demonstrating the activity seemed to work the best. I do not think that the visual samples I provided worked as well as I had hoped they would. I would provide better visual examples and prepare better ways of lecturing on the topics of these lessons. The students all seemed to really like the lessons taught but did not feel prepared until we started actually doing the activities of the lessons.

Objective Narrative
1. This assignment met the first objective by having me perform and practice modeling and facilitating innovative digital-age work and learning experiences through using current and emerging tools. The assignment taught me how to locate, analyze, evaluate, and use technology to help me in the classroom.
2. This assignment met the second objective by teaching me to be creative and try to inspire my students to learn. It taught me that I need to provide a wide variety of learning environments and experiences.

Professional Development

Brief Summary of Objectives
1. This assignment met the first objective of having the ability to identify and evaluate technology resources and technical assistance by showing me how Twitter can be a good source of information. The assignment helped me to see what is useful and what is not.
2. This assignment lead me to teachers on Twitter that showed me ways to take advantage of emerging technologies. Twitter is a good source to see what new technologies are emerging in the teaching field and share them with one another.
3. This assignment met the third objective by showing me how to use Twitter as a form of professional development itself. And how it can be a great place for teachers to share things with each other. This Twitter community of teachers allows me to engage in professional growth and leadership activities that would be impossible without technology like Twitter.

Narrative Summary
Working on the Digital Citizenship project helped me learn how to use technology in my classroom in a safe, responsible, and legal way. Studying the laws and guidelines helped me to learn everything I needed to know about ethical principles of digital citizenship. I learned how to properly manage my classroom so that all students had equitable and effective access to technology in the classroom.
Designing the presentation for the Digital Citizenship manual helped me to learn how to promote, model, and communicate safe, legal, and ethical practices of digital citizenship. I can use this presentation as a tool to promote and teach digital citizenship to students and fellow teachers. Overall, this project taught me how to properly use technology in the classroom and how to teach others how to properly use technology as well.
