I feel the most prepared to use standard RHST.7 and standard SL.5 because I have the most experience with them. I love history and I have taken a lot of history courses so I'm familiar with using multimedia resources in history. I took AP U.S. history in high school and most of our subject matter was on finding and evaluating historical documents. Standard SL.5 is pretty easy for me because I am a very visual learner so I already do this for myself. I use a lot of different forms of media in my notes for my classes. I think it is the best way to learn.

Two things I learned through making the news letter are the columns and the hyperlinking. I knew it was possible to do these things, but I didn't realize how easy/useful it was. I'm sure I could have figured it out if my life depended on it but it was a super easy skill to learn in class. I really liked the assignment because it was a super useful way to play around and learn about word. I can use these skills in my own education and in educating others.

Adaptive technologies can support many diverse learners. The main point of adaptive technologies are to translate information into a medium that makes it accessible to someone. This could mean a voice to text machine for a student who has a hearing impairment. Another example of an adaptive technology would be descriptions of photos/graphics for students with visual impairments. One of the main challenges of using adaptive technologies is funding. As a teacher you might have a student who needs a certain piece of technology but you do not have the funding to provide that technology to them. http://edtechteacher.org/tools/  is a great site for staying up to date on technology used in the classroom. They provide some free tools to teachers, create professional development, and organize conferences for educators.

For my independent learning project I created a "meet your teacher day" flyer in photoshop. I used creative commons images from bing for the graphics and created the text on my own. I used a different different lay for each section of text so that I could manipulate the spacing, font size, font, and colors.

I think the flipped classroom can be a good idea in a few circumstances but it usually does not work. It is very difficult to engage students outside of the classroom. I think teachers often use the flipped classroom to save time but if a flipped classroom is done correctly, the lesson planning should take longer than the average lesson. https://www.ted.com/talks/salman_khan_let_s_use_video_to_reinvent_education this ted talk gives a good perspective on flipped classroom I really liked the powerpoint assignments. I did not realize how easy it was to add audio into a powerpoint. I really liked this feature because it made my powerpoint more effective because I could explain myself more.
