Micro Lesson One: Reflection Instructional Decisions/Teaching: Overall, I think that my lesson went well. I was unable to get an actual copy of the book that I was reading out loud so I used a recorded version from YouTube and put the sound on silent so I could still read it. I thought this might pose a problem during my lesson however, it went fairly smooth. One thing that didn’t go very well was the discussion after the story.

In what learning environments would the technology resource I presented be appropriate?     The technology resource that I presented was Powtoon and if this resource is used efficiently it could potential be used in all learning environments as long as culture is taken into consideration. I used an example in my presentation where the teacher created a fun Powtoon to present the daily bell work. Creating bell work with this resource can fit all four categories of global digital citizenship including: Safe, Ethical, and Legal Use of Technology, Socially Responsible Digital Use, Equitable Access of Technology and Global Awareness/ Cultural Understanding. Creating a video for your students to view is a safe way to use this source because the teacher is presenting the source in class and the students are not actually going on the internet themselves. The students don't need their own access to...
