I really enjoyed navigating through these digital tools and getting to express my own thoughts and creativity through a variety of formats. As a 21st Century teacher and learner it's amazing the vast amount of resources we have available, simply at the click of a button. The uses of technology seem endless: collaboration, differentiated instruction, instant feedback, assessments, and much more. The key is reflecting on which digital tool will produce the greatest results, both in regards to learning and engagement. I will continue to grow as a 21st Century teacher by collaborating with my colleagues and other professionals in the field and attending workshops or conferences for professional development.
