  Course Reflection Video      Upon reflecting on everything I have learned, accomplished, and experienced throughout this course I have realized how many new tools and resources I have been exposed to that I will use in my classroom in the future. Of all the courses I have taken throughout my time at Peru State, I believe that I have learned the most new information from this course specifically. Not only was I introduced to a wide, wide, variety of resources, tools, and websites, I was also challenged to dive right in and put them to use!

How to Access Epic! I plan to use this specific screencast to teach new hires on my first grade team how to access Epic!, an educational resource that we often use in our classrooms. Now that I am comfortable with screencasting, I feel that I will create many more for both professional development purposes within my team and school, as well as for my students and their families use. I could see myself making a screen cast to explain an assignment, show colleagues and families how to access a school resource, or even to teach a mini lesson using online resources. The possibilities are endless!
