1.) National Archives: This exhibit reveals eyewitness accounts of historical moments in history through newspapers, letters, and diaries. For example there is an excerpt from  Dr. Robert King Stone, President Lincoln’s family physician, accounting his assassination. This is valuable for a classroom because it allows students to discover primary sources that are interesting to them and learn about historical events through the eyes of historical figures. This eliminates the boring reading through textbooks. 


2.)National Education Association: The student groups which experience achievement gaps are racial and ethnic minorities, english language learners, students with disabilities, and students from low-income families. "Becoming a Culturally Competent Educator"-
                1.Gather and organize resource materials related to culturally diverse groups for use by school staff. This fits my teaching style because I can easily organize resource materials related to culturally diverse groups by finding helpful websites movies, and books and gathering them in one place online or organizing movies and books in a specific section of the school library.
               2.Network with parent, family, minority community, and faith-based organizations concerned with the needs of diverse students. Solicit their involvement and input in the design and implementation of initiatives for culturally, linguistically, racially, and ethnically diverse groups. Using emails, or telephone numbers to organize a cultural fair and include all involving organizations to create a booth and presentation to present at an assembly for kids to listen to then walk around and view the booths at a more in-depth level 
              3.Network with other schools that are developing and implementing culturally competent systems. Adapt the processes and information that are consistent with your school's needs and interests. Through email, or phone I would be able to connect schools together and create a community and integrated school district that as a whole can develop and implement important cultural competent interests. 


3.)Cyber Bullying:6-10 Points: Cyber Risky
 Chances are I haven’t done anything terrible and am guilty of cussing or logging on to a friends account to snoop, just for fun. Now I realize they are all offenses. As a teacher, I will try to be more away of text messages and IM-ing in the classroom. Hopefully teaching students to not reply to unknown senders will eliminate viruses from spreading. It is important to educate students about cyberbullying and the harmful effects because internet technology has become a part of our daily lives. Explaining that the best way to stop it is to ignore it. I will teach my students how to respond to and when to ignore bullying. With technology entering the classrooms, it is important to be aware of the effects. Keeping an eye out for suspicious IM's will keep only the acceptable technology in use. 


4.)Kathy Schrock's Guide for Educators: 
    This cite gives many links to all areas of education from mathematics to music. Neatly organized, this cite gives many links for students such as, homework help and Crayola Crayon Official Site. On the PE & Nutrition link, the website includes website links to the FDA, Health Lesson for Kids How to Use the Nutrition Facts Labels. These sites are very informative and great for the classroom to use when teaching health. The Assignments & Rubrics section under Teacher's Helpers is a great source for new teachers to access rubrics for class assignments for example, a "science experiment lab rubric" or a "powerpoint rubric". New teachers can easily access the rubrics, lesson plans, or sample assignments for their use in the classroom. Everything a teacher needs can be accessed through this site. 


5.)Multiple Intellignce:
My top three intelligences include, Intrapersonal (88%), Verbal-Linguistic (83%), and Interpersonal (63%). I watched the video Multiple Intelligences Thrive in Smartville. This video looks into Enota Multiple Intelligence School, where students are engaged in activities to stimulate their different intelligences. For example, they play shuffleboard math games. Multiple Intelligences are alive in this school, but also it is clear that authentic engagement from the students is alive here. Every students is being challenged through their individual strengths.


6.) Teaching Tolerance:
Grade: 1-2, Language Arts, Lesson on Kindness
I would use this assignment to teach kindness and respect to others. First I would read the class, Somebody Loves You, Mr. Hatch, a book teaching respect, love for one another, and acceptance. Second, I would have students pick a name out of a hat, making sure no one gets their name. They would then be this persons "secret admirer". First, you couldn't tell anyone whose name you picked – not even your best friend. Second, you didn't have to buy things for that person, but you could leave nice notes or do nice things for them without them knowing it was you. Third, you could try to trick your person by being especially nice to other people, too. And finally, we would reveal ourselves on Friday. our Friday morning Community Circle only a handful of students guessed their admirer. Then we went around the circle revealing who our secret friend was. Although Bobby was the biggest beneficiary of this exercise in kindness, all students learned a lesson in tolerance.


7.) Multicultural Awareness Quiz:
What portion of the U.S. Government budget goes to welfare and Social Security?
ans: less than 1% to welfare and 20% to Security. This answer surprised me because I believe a country is only as strong as its weakest member. I feel that our country needs to create a program to enable welfare people to be able to support themselves.
What percentage of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender high school students report that their teachers “never” or “rarely” respond to homophobic remarks made by other students, according to a national study by GLSEN?


ans: 84.5%. This answer maddens me because if a racial comment was make I believe a majority of teachers would respond to this. Comments about sexual orientation are very important issues to repromand. It is every teachers' duty to respond to any comment of hate or prejudice.

8.) Netiquette: My grade was a 60%. I did not know a lot of the answers to the questions, making me realize there might be things that I send, write on the internet that are not appropriate. This is important to teach students because they are in constant use with computers and if technology is going to be implemented in the classroom then appropriate ettiquette must take place. It is important to teach them the proper way to use technology even if they have grown up using it.
