 * By using assessment tools such as Equizzer, Survey Monkey, Quizstar, and Poll Daddy, I can incorporate contemporary tools and resources to maximize student learning. I can also then use the results from these assessment tools to analyze my students’ performance and drive my instruction . This will help me make decisions with regards to my teaching.
 * Another way I can better utilize technology to assess my students is to share the results of the assessments that I create and show my students the results so that they know in which areas they need to improve.

 * I would like to create podcasts explaining certain things and put them on my web page as a resource for both my students and their parents.

o I plan on using the Web Literacy Lesson I created, teaching students about searching for information and what web sites are useful. I think it is important that students learn about different sites so that they know which ones will give them the best results when they are looking for information. o I am also planning on using the St. Francis Copyright Bay Site to explain copy right laws and go over them with my students so that they are aware of how to site information correctly. || * Support from my principal and technology coordinator

 * I think one way to improve in this area is to collaborate with my team members. I think it is important to share resources with one another. We have weekly team meetings where some of that is done, but I think it needs to be done on a more consistent basis.
