Tool #11 Two of my favorite tools that I will use are Animoto and Dropbox. In Animoto, an activity the students could do-would be to make a video on what they did over summer vacation.
I understand the importance especially in today's world, that technology needs be used in the classroom. With 2 new iPads and a touch screen-this allows more student access for station/centers.
I will have to make accommodations in my classroom due to the special needs of each child.
Unexpected outcomes- the time spent on completing the 11 Tools is not equivalent to the 9 hours of credit being given. I was surprised to find some websites that we were directed to try-were not accessible.

Tool # 10 Three things I would want my students to understand about being a good digital citizen- One is being safe by not giving personal information online, second- using the computer is a right but privileges can be taken away when not used properly and finally, use friendly/good manners when accessing sites on the computer.
I would use the ED Tech website to begin instruction on digital citizenship. I would use Brain Pop Jr. video called Common Sense for PreK-2.
I would teach the idea of digital citizenship my beginning with the video mention above and by practicing daily through discussions and modeling.
For informing my parents on digital citizenship-I would send home a note regarding what the students are learning in class and refer them to isafe.org.

Tool #9 Today's world is full of technology therefore students will be more motivated to get involved when tying the technology to the objective.
Holding students accountable for stations/centers makes sure that a final product is produced. Thus, teaching the student to work independently and responsibly
One site that I can use in my classroom is Learning Games For Kids.com. Depending on the students needs....students can work independently and or with teacher/para assistance as a station/center in the classroom. Teacher and paras need to supervise accountability with students. The other site I can use is called TESiboard. This site can be used the same way as above. There are a lot of other content activities.
As far as apps for the 2 iPads used in my classroom, I'm still collaborating with district Life Skills colleagues. I would use the iPads like stations/centers. Again students would need supervision like mentioned above with web sites.

Tool #8 Three things I learned from the Ipad video were; there are 11 available pages for apps, when texting it's best to use landscape and when typing a letter it is not locked until the finger is released.
I will be using the Touch Screen and Ipads in my classroom. These devices can be used as a student classroom center. I may use the Touch Screen for whole group activities as well as individual student independent activities.
