Web Tools
Web tools are very easy to use and understand. I think web tools have a signification importance in the classroom. Every teacher should be familiar with all computer concepts including web tools. I enjoyed completing assignment 2. This assignment gave me ideas on different web sites to go to create a rubrics and tests. I also discovered new websites to find online, free ,printable worksheets and a puzzles. The NETS-T standards that were used in this assignment are the following: 2 and 3. Standard two states "design and develop digital age learning and assessments." Us students learn about the many uses of web tools by completing the different projects. This assignment broadens our knowledge of how to create a test, rubric and online activity for the classroom. Standard number three states "model digital age work and learning." Students learn about modern technology resources that are available online for when we become teachers ourselves!

Concept Mapping
I chose to do a concept map for first grade Social Studies. This map would be introduced to the students at the beginning of the year, before I begin teaching in depth lessons about our history and state.I believe it is important for children with special needs, as well as all children, to learn to identify and understand different signs in their community.
I enjoyed completing this assignment. It was fun! I played around on the Kidspiration website before completing my assignment. The website is easy to maneuver. There is a help guide if questions arise, which I used myself. It was very helpful. I am glad I was introduced to this software. I will definitely use Kidspiration in the near future, when I am a special education teacher! The NETS-T standards that were used in this assignment are 1, 2, and 3. standard number one states "facilitate and inspire students learning." This assignment allowed me to learn alot! I never herd of concept mapping before this assignment. I had never been taught how to complete a concept map. Standard number two states "design and develop digital age learning and assessments." This assignment allowed us students to have a online resource that we can use in our classroom for our future students to better understand a certain concept. That itself is a digital age assignment because it is all completed online!
