      In the classroom pages for St Francis de Sales Catholic Academy, they list homework assignments for the week. They also give announcements and reminders about holidays, or in this case, going to mass and mass times. They list spelling words for the week as well, and also an outline of activities for the week. This school also has specials, such as PE, art, or music, and they say what day each special is so parents can prepare their students.       https://stfrancisacademybh.org/class-pages     I will try to implement classroom pages in to my school if I can. I think these are almost more effective than a newsletter because teachers can update them weekly, and then parents will know the lesson plans for the week beforehand.

       I have really enjoyed exploring different Pinterest boards with education content. There has been so many different lesson plans and science experiments that I found really engaging. I also really enjoyed the room decoration tips, and inspiration for a cozy classroom. I also enjoyed seeing content from current teachers on Instagram and seeing their advice. I think that both apps will be beneficial to me as a future educator for tips with dealing with student issues or dress code advice on Instagram to lesson plans and activities on Pinterest.      I grew up in a digitally rich environment, or at least I remember it that way. We had a computer lab that we went to for exams and quizzes in elementary school, and then in middle and high school we had laptop computers that teachers could rent for their students. Although we did not use computers all the time due to the fact that teachers had to rent them, I believe I had enough knowledge about techno...
