One of the artifacts that I chose to reflect on was my blog post about computer skills for PARCC. This assignment stood out to me because I teach second grade and my students do not have to take PARCC however, they are required to take it the following year in third grade so I feel that it is my job to help prepare them for the test. I began to research to find out technology issues students encounter while testing so that I could know how to best prepare my students and what I needed to share out to other primary teachers. While I found the practice tests to be extremely beneficial to students in third grade and higher, I realized there were many things I could do in my classroom. My students will be better prepared for PARCC if I can give them frequent computer based assignments where they are expected to drag and drop, highlight text, and select multiple answers.
I created this post on a Google Doc and found images using Creative Commons. By using Creative Commons images, I knew I wasn’t infringing on any copyright laws but it was time consuming. I found that this process took longer to search through the images than using Google Images but I would suggest that other teachers use Creative Commons as well in order to set a good example for our students. Therefore, this year when I have my students create Google Docs, I plan on teaching them how to insert images by finding them through the Creative Commons.
