The process of creating an entire website was a new experience for me as I had never created a website prior to this semester. A course that I am currently taking for my Educational Technology Certificate, Teaching with Digital Tools, required me to create my own website and to integrate Web 2.0 tools into said website. I chose to create a digital portfolio to showcase my work from throughout my M.Ed. program at Rutgers University Graduate School of Education. My website can be viewed here: https://megancorlis.wordpress.com/.

Blog Entry #8: Creating Your CITEd Toolkit
Creating a Technology Toolkit
Having compiled a variety of different learning resources using CITEd.org to create my own Technology Professional Development Toolkit, I have found this to be very similar to a traditional social bookmarking site. In my toolkit, I included resources that were of personal interest to me that I wanted to share with other education professionals as well. I included a mix of digital resources teachers could use in the classroom, such as accessible books and the acrostic poem builder. Additionally, I included some informational articles about using assistive technology and how to manage technology in your own classroom. If I had chosen to send my toolkit to an administrator rather than to colleagues, I would have included more detailed descriptions of how I would use the different resources and why I chose to include them in my toolkit. If I were to share my toolkit with a teacher who was reluctant to integrate technology into the classroom, I would include more articles about the importance of using technology in your classroom and the learning benefits. I would also emphasize user-friendly websites and resources as well as include digital resources that make differentiation or data tracking much easier.
