§ What has been or do you anticipate will be of the greatest benefit to your students as a result of this course? § Explain how you have grown as a teacher to ensure that your students reach their maximum potential. § How will you take your knowledge and disseminate to others in your school, your district, and outside of the district? § What is your plan to sustain the use of technology after the course is finished?

The greatest benefit to my students as a result of this course is locating many web sites with multiple interactive learning activities that they could utilize on the Smartboard. The learning activities would include word games, stories, music, and story videos.

I have grown as a teacher by expanding my knowledge of new search engines to locate learning activities for my students. I have grown by acquiring new skills in utilizing new equipment to prepare learning activities for my students and thier parents. I also learned how to effectively prepare an assessment tool that would measure the skills of my students so that I share that information with parents.

In my school, I would share this knowledge with the Pre-K team. We can prepare photostories of students to share with parents during PACT times. We can also prepare a podcast on parenting issues for parents on the web site.

In the district, I would share this knowledge with other Pre-K teachers at other schools, especially information on search engines of web sites for interactive learning activities.

Outside the district: I would share information on search engines of web sites with Pre-K teachers across Georgia. The search engines will enable Pre-K teachers and family engagement specialists to locate parent and child activities that would strengthen parental involvement in local schools.

My Plan: I would utilize all methods of integrating technology that I have learned in preparing learning activties for my students. I would also request assistance from the technology department when need needed. I would enroll in other technology courses to refresh my skills so I can be the best teacher I can be.
