•  Working on creating a website was very informative and necessary for my future career. New skills I have acquired from working on the Web Design assignment are first actually learning how to create a website. I never knew how people created websites and now after using weebly, I can say I am pretty good at it. Secondly, I learned how what embedded a code meant and how to put that in a website. I inserted my Creative Commons in the embedded code and when you click on it takes you to the page with all the information you need to know. I thought this assignment was really fun because we could be creative. I disliked how a lot of stuff was hard to find on the website and there was no help to locate things from weebly. I can use my website design skills in my future career to create a web page for my classroom with assignments, announcements, contact information, and even parent resources! https://jenasclassweb.weebly.com
• The new skills I have learned from working with Diigo is how to highlight, annotate, and add sticky notes a document. This application can be useful in your classroom because I can add notes and annotations to documents. Also, I can add notes on passages we read in class so students can better understand the information presented and we can get a deeper understanding of what the author is trying to say. This application be useful with team members, because I can add documents for lesson plans and highlight important information and add notes for team members to  make sure they cover in class.
• Teachers are one of the most important determinant of student learning and millions have been managing the changing nature of teaching and learning without effective teacher professional development. As education systems move towards remote solutions, consideration must be given to the evolving demands placed on teachers, ensuring they are prepared and supported through teacher professional development practices.  Education systems need to invest in practical ways to continuously improve and support teacher professional development. There is growing interest among policymakers in providing remote and alternative support options to teachers.
