SL3 "Evaluate Speakers Point of View" is the ELA standard I am prepared to use and teach at this time. As a history major we use this skill in almost every paper, we summarize and take positions while analyzing documents, speeches and art. Since I want to teach secondary education specifically 12th grade American History I think I can easily instill what I have learned into my students to help them succeed. I personally need to work on RI.7 Multi Media, just because I tend to rely on what I already know instead of expanding my repertoire. Widening my resources will allow me to become a better teacher because I will have more to offer my students.
I would probably use Poll Everywhere the most at the moment, kids don't always want to share and since this is an anonymous way to answer questions its easier for kids to open up about a subject. I know I hated being the only student to answer questions in class, I thought everyone saw me as a know it all and back then it wasn't "cool". On the flip side I can see how I would get annoyed when I was to scared to voice my opinion or was embarrassed if I got the answer wrong. Using this tool I believe would allow students to become more confident with themselves, it also lets them break the ice without seeming like they're "attacking" each others opinions. Teaching my 12th grade students digital citizenship would be more along the lines of showing them that once they post something to the internet its there forever, even after you delete it. The easiest way to show them would be to use Facebook, take a picture of the class and post it to Facebook asking followers and friends to share it include where they are located. They will see how fast it spreads from Florida to California then to Japan. Next I would ask a friend to screen shot the photo so they would have it "forever", then I would delete the post, next I would have my friend re-post my photo to illustrate that deleting doesn't remove it permanently that other people can capture what you say and use it against you. I would show my students every step of this so they can see every aspect of my lesson.
I knew a little bit of everything when it came to my newsletter but it made me really concentrate and hone in on what I wasn't 100% sure with. I've learned how to edit my banner so that the words flow with it, had to use google a few times to make sure I was doing it correctly. I really don't like coming up with the design myself, I rather use a template and fill in my information because it is easier and faster that way. If I am to use this in the future I must stay on top of my skills and practice them frequently otherwise it will take me much longer to complete tasks. I will definitely be sending home information for parents like things going on in the classroom, notes if a student misses class, even making handouts for substitutes if I miss work.

I like to say "the cloud never forgets". Helping students understand the permanency of what they post is very important. I think your activity idea is great. It is also a great example of our connections and the spread of communication made possible by social media.
