Share one of your Personal Professional Development goals by 3/28 - respond to someone else's by 4/2 with suggestions
One of my main personal professional development goals is to make a website. The website will help in parent communication and have educational games on it for extra practice. I took part of my idea from my wiki project. The only difference will be they (parents/students) will not be able to comment or make feedback. It's purely for me to give out information about our class and resources to help parents help their students. I think it will help me not get asked the same questions 400 times too. I know that my weekly newsletter is not read so now I'll be able to say check the website if you have any questions. Teachers in my district are suppose to have a website for parents to get information so this will help me as well. I know it will have spelling words each week, a snack calendar, upcoming events, and educational resources. Even if parents don't get on the website the students can to play games that will help them with their reading and math.
This will be good for me for professional development because I will always have to be on top of finding new games and keeping the website updated for spelling words and school news. I will have to collaborate with other educators so I will be learning too. This is a great plan for me because it will be something that I will use until I retire and hopefully it will be fairly low maintenance in keeping it up to date each week.

Reflection
What is your status on your technology teaching projects -update me on your blog - What has suprised you so far?
My status is that I haven't gotten very far. Between doing DRAs and grades I haven't had a lot of time to look at it. My goal is to really hit it during this week, which is Spring Break. Honestly the whole thing stresses me out. Not so much the actual project as the writing about it. I have found that this semester half the time I sit down to write anything my brain is so fried I just sit there and stare at the screen. Kind of frustrating. I'm really hoping to get a massive chunk of it done this week. I think I've gotten most of my stuff for school done so I can concentrate on my project this week. I'm planning on emailing you next week to set up a time to talk about it the week you get back from your vaca.
