Overall, CI 201 was a very beneficial class for me to take in my journey towards becoming a teacher. One big takeaway I have from this class is to be innovative with technology and to use it to do things that would be difficult to do without using technology, rather than using it just to use it. I think this will be very important for me to keep in mind as I start my teaching career because as the amount of technology available to students increases, I will have to think of ways to use it in my classroom that will make learning the different content both engaging and effective for my future students.

In this standard, teachers should be able to demonstrate their abilities using each of the different technology tools that they expect their students to use and to learn how to use different technological tools to communicate information. One of the assignments I completed this semester to work towards mastering this standard is the Google assignment. I used Google Forms to create a sample form that parents could fill out to give more information about their child. I think this would be a very effective way to communicate with parents as well as use technology to gather information. I think without using this technology, it would be difficult to collect this information, as a paper copy could easily be lost or forgotten. Since Google Drive tools are free, I know a lot of schools will want to use them, so being introduced to them in this class and learning to use them efficiently will be very helpful in my future as a teacher. Also, students will most likely have to use tools like Google Slides or Google Docs to collaborate on projects, so learning how to use them in this class is a good way to learn how to be efficient in this tool. I would like to continue to use other tools that I learned about in this class to better prepare myself for my future
