     After going through all the ELA Standards, the standards that i feel most comfortable with are the Informational Text and the History/Social Studies standards. Having a background in web design coding really helps with my ability to create presentations with interactive web elements in the informational text standards. All my social studies classes have all used a wide variety of technology for presentations, assignments, and homework. The standard I wish for more preparation is the Science/Technical standards. I never had much practice in diagrams or models that had to do with science as its my least favorite subject.

     The technology/software applications I would like to use with my students is mostly social media, specifically twitter, and new software that is called Google Docs. The digital concepts I would have to address would be proper etiquette over social media and digital law pertaining to outside sources being sued on assignments, homework, etc. With my students being 11-12th grade, my students would be fully immersed in social media and will have a great deal of knowledge of technology. I have to make sure my students are smart, exceptional digital citizens in order to use social media with my students.

     Creating the newsletter by hand without templates gave me more skills in Microsoft Word that I haven't had before. I found the newsletter to be fairly average in creating it, not to hard but still requiring effort to put in to create it. Creating this newsletter from scratch really gave me insight on what newsletters should look like and what content should be put in it.
