Scaffolding Technology Learning:
- Use visual charts (anchor charts) to guide students through the basics of how to use the technology
- Experiment with the integration of technology in course instruction
- Adapt content to include technology

Curiosities:
- Is there such thing as too much tech integration?
- How do set the environment that things on tech are potentially forever? Not to scare students of it but things like social media could follow them, students in elementary are young how do you set that tone though?

Goals:
- have a class YouTube page that is used frequently so students have access to relevant filtered information about whatever topics happened in class that day
- have a class fb/twitter/ig of some sort to keep parents and community involved in our classroom
- find more ways to upkeep technology in my classroom
