Helpful Websites: Description: Throughout this semester we have learned a number of websites that will help us throughout our teaching careers and daily lives. My personal favorite has been www.moourl.com I have utilized this website in numerous classes thus far. This particular websites allows people to take their long URLs and make them shorter or even personable.
Self- Assessment: I was able to moourl my resume so that I could access it easily if I am on job interviews etc. Also, if I run into someone and they ask me for a copy of my resume and I do not have it on me, I can give them my website and they can look it up. Here is the website: www.moourl.com/KCtuRESUME
Educational Setting: I think this could be a cool activity for students to create their own homepage using google docs and than make their personal URL from moourl. It will be a good end of the year project for upper elementary students, they can reflect on things they learned and memories they made. The teacher will create a page with all of their moourls listed on it, so that their peers can view all the pages. This also fits under the UDL approach because it is a way to make websites memorable for students. Memorable things such as this aids learning for all types of learners. This fits under the NETS-S standards in the category Technology Operations and Concepts because it is demonstrating that students are retaining information you taught them, and using the tools you showed them how to use.
