I would feel prepared to teach RI.7 “Multimedia:” Informational Text. This standard required students to be able to understand how to use visual graphs, diagrams, videos, audio and other media to apply to everyday lessons. This is one of the first standards, so it is a pretty easy skill to grasp. For example, I would be able to teach students how to “Integrate information in different media or formats” (ELA Tech Standards Handout), as well as “analyze various accounts told in different media” (ELA Tech Standards Handout). A standard that I would have to work on before teaching it to other people would be SL.5 “Use Digital Media”. This standard requires students to be able to add many different kinds of media to presentations in order to enhance learning.

Creating the newsletter, I learned how to insert a hyperlink and what that is supposed to look like. I also learned how to insert pictures that are provided through Microsoft Word. I enjoyed making this newsletter because I was able have fun making different assignments and activities that my students would be working on. I liked making the newsletter look nice, as well as provide lots of information for the parents so they would be up to date on what was happening in my class.
