I feel as if I am able to teach the standards involving history because I have the most knowledge already in history.  Also I have taken lots of history classes and it seems to come naturally to me.  I feel that I would need more help with the standards involving math because math is difficult for me.  I think that with proper instruction I will eventually be able to teach every standard.  Some subjects will always be easier to teach than others, but if I try my best I can learn how to teach all the standards.

With my students I would really like to integrate technology in a fun way that does not involve pressure.  I want them to feel comfortable using computer games to learn how to type, read, and do math.  Hopefully my students can become digital citizens when they use technology in more than successful ways.  The age range of my students will be crucial to how they learn these skills.  As young children they need to learn how to use computers through communication, explanation, and patience.

Through making my news letter I learned formatting and design skills.  These skills can sometimes be difficult to navigate in Word.  Through this assignment I used enough of these skills to feel as if I now can use them in the future easily.  I also learned how to make charts and use bullet points.  In addition, I also made a hyperlink which I thought was pretty cool.  Overall I enjoyed making my letter and feel as if it taught me how to use Word well.
