 *  A self-reflection of this process showed that when it comes to student assessment, for the most part, I use the traditional methods. Therefore, I will target the area of Student Assessment and learn ways to differentiate this piece for my students by incorporating technology, rubrics and other innovative strategies. I am constantly assessing my teaching practices but have not spent time reflecting on how I measure my student’s knowledge. This I will make a priority.
 *  Technology is constantly changing and it is often times difficult to stay on top of the latest software programs and tools – especially if you do not actively engage in the learning process. Although I do attend workshops and professional development I feel that I can do more. I also feel that I should support my colleagues by sharing what I already know that they may not. It is important to get the word out that we need to incorporate technology into our daily lessons. Learning about how to plan, create and implement lessons with the UDL approach at the onset is key to student success. This I will make a priority.

I have created a wiki space to share my projects. I have focused on Assessment and have created a Survey on Survey Monkey, a Podcast, A Rubric that correlates with the podcast (for assessment) and a Quiz using Photopeach.com. I have tried to explain the rationale and reasonings for choosing these on the wiki pages. My wiki: http://room310boydenschool.wikispaces.com/
