I have also been adding centers into my classroom to create a flexible learning environment. 

In my school, we already have PLCs in place, but I have recently been using twitter to follow other educators and websites to incorporate new methods and activities into my classroom.]]> 2018-11-04 16:00:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ssilvestri3/1uaff4pixsvn/wish/300198561 How has your perspective on technology changed over the 10 weeks? ssilvestri3 https://padlet.com/ssilvestri3/1uaff4pixsvn/wish/300198598 Before the class:
My perfective on technology was that it was important to incorporate technology into lesson because it was more motivating for students. I thought that using technology made it easier for the students, but it was a lot of work for the teacher to create assignments. I was also unsure of what websites to use to create interactive lessons and activities for the students.
Now:
My perspective now is the same, it is important to incorporate technology into lessons because it is motivating for students. My mindset on implementation has improved. I now feel confident that implementing interactive digital lessons will show major growth in the students learning. I now have options of websites and tools to use when creating lessons.
