In the spring semester of 2018, and the fall semester of 2019, I completed Education Technology (EDTS 325) at MHC, and Communication Technology in the Classroom (EDUC 3508) at UofL. In these classes I learned how to use many different programs that could be useful for creating lessons or interactive activities for my future classroom. I learned how to use creative programs like iMovie and Screencast-O-Matic, as well as various Google apps that can help me keep organized as a teacher. I also began my Personal Learning Network by creating an Educator Blog, a Twitter account, and a Pinterest account. The skills I learned in these classes will surely come in handy throughout my teaching career as I am able to create unique content for my students to meet their specific learning needs. 

I also taught exclusively online school to my Grade 7 Science and Option classes during my final month of PSIII.
