Hello, my name is Moriah Brady and I aspire to be a 7th to 8th grade Social Studies teacher. My 3 main goals as a teacher are 1) to engage my students inside and outside the classroom by creating assignments, lectures, and providing resources that will catch their attention and deliver the information. 2) To integrate technologies into the classroom and my lesson plans. By using iPad and the computer provided in my class students can do research, look listen to lectures, create documents, PowerPoint and work on group projects. Also using Sploder, creative infographics, and utilizing social media for more ideas to keep things interesting period with the Interactive Whiteboard/projector/ DVD/ VCR setup I can deliver lectures, show video/clips pertaining to the lesson and provide visual instructions for assignments. 3) I want my students to come to class and feel comfortable and safe. I feel that having an organized classroom with up-to-date technologies available encourages students to want to learn. By providing monitor time for students while on the computer or iPads, I can make sure they are doing their work and not goofing off. I will develop group assignments that encourage critical thinking and teamwork.

My new drawing of my future classroom has not changed much period in my original drawing, I mirrored a teacher's actual classroom period this teacher is someone I shadowed for 20 hours last semester period when I asked her why she had her room set up like it was, is because for their size it was the best way to utilize the area without making it look like a traditional classroom period by displaying projects, students gain a sense pride, while subconsciously encouraging learning in their fellow peers period I took 2 desk out of my second drawing because I would like it too be a bit smaller class than I previously thought having less students to me, means being able to have more 1 on one time for those who may need extra help period I also added a personal computer for school to my desk so that way I can keep my gradebook and the other students information up-to-date and connect with other teachers in my school, my district and comma and around the country period by using social media platforms like Edmodo, Twitter, Zmoto, and others period I also added educational decorations like posters slash pictures and projects around the classroom to not only educate, but also to show off projects period I am really excited to see what my students will create period I almost forgot, in my current classroom, there is also a small makerspace period in my classroom makerspace I will have different materials, papers (colored/ sizes) pins, markers, colored pencils, glues come on and more.

In conclusion, the setup and design stayed the same, but their content changed. as I begin to teach, I will do things as I was taught, but with time I will make my classroom and teaching style my own and will change and grow. Keeping up with new technologies, styles comma and techniques will also be important for teaching the next generation. Before taking EDLT- integrate technologies with teaching, I tried to use this learning about or using or even knowing about the tech available. There is so much for teachers’ students and even parents to use to learn connect and discuss educational topics.
