I chose to observe a few class pages on Leon High School's website. Under the teacher directory, I selected Michael Green, who teaches Chemistry 1 and AP Chemistry. There are tabs under each class that show important documents, such as the syllabus and lab report guides. There are also tabs that introduce him, and list assignments. These pages look very helpful to both enrolled and interested students. Since the pages are public, a student can look at them to see if they like the curriculum.  https://www.leonschools.net/Page/35014  To increase productivity, I like to use tools offline to eliminate distractions- this is why I prefer Microsoft to Google. I also like to use a paper calendar and notebooks for this reason. I think there are a lot of online resources but I have always loved the simplicity of paper + pen. I process information better by physically writing things out, which I will also emphasize to my students. I also really love planners as a resource to refer to througho

I think Diigo is an awesome tool to use in a classroom. It would probably be most beneficial for 6th-12th grade students, but 4th and 5th grade could benefit from it as well.

I think if there was more creativity I would enjoy it more. However, I do enjoy using the google blogs. I think it's an effective website to create a put together blog. I think TikTok could be a great platform to use in a high school classroom with the right resources. If not every stu

 The LAFS.1112.WHST 11&12 grade standard is focused on digital research with search engines and databases, as well as maintaining academic integrity through proper citations. I believe I'm prepared to teach this standard because I'm experienced with the research and citation process. I know the types of plagiarism and how to avoid them, and would be able to communicate this with my students.  I would choose one of the video resources. In the 9-12 grade social science section, there is one that covers the beginning of the civil war. It's best for students to learn in a variety of ways, including visually. I would try this to see how engaged they are, because if they're unengaged then it would have no benefit, and then decide if I want to implement more of the videos in my classroom.  It's important to know how to internet search in order to find the best resources to implement in a classroom. A teacher shouldn't settle on mediocre resources and want their stu
