 * =**Your Name:**= || Kelly Salcido ||
 * **Identify a problem from your classroom proven difficult to teach and for students to learn:** || Writing: Report (main idea and details) ||
 * **Think about which areas you would like to focus your learning and write your initial goal(s) for the course:** || 1. Moodle
 * **Unit Portfolio Link on Google Docs:** ||  ||


 * Concerns || Solutions ||
 * 1. Time management || Planning ahead for challenges that could come into play and developing shortcuts for when students don't finish their given product. Also, redesigning elements after a single day of teaching to compensate for students who haven't finished ||
 * 2 Classroom management || Lanschool ||
 * 3. Differientiation for students with IEP's and Gate || Modify the original designed lesson for those who have an IEP designation for extra time for a given assignment, etc. For GATE students, perhaps an early finishers assignment or an extension activity could allow students who finish early to still be engaged and taking their learning to the next level. ||
 * 4. Not working Collaboratively || A good collaboration tool to ensure students work well with one another, is to list in their rubrics that students are graded upon how well they work together. Another thing that we, as teachers, can do is to add an evaluation portion to the unit series to gain feedback on those who are working together to get a better idea about what went wrong, what could of been done better, etc ||
 * 5. Communication difficulties with peers ||  ||
 * 6. Technology problems || These are items that must be planned for and have back up plans for. The probability of all netbooks being down is slim unless the netbook cart goes down or if the internet isn't working. If one individuals netbook isn't working, there are others in the group the team can fall back on. Having a physical paper copy of all computerized graphic organizers is always a good thing. ||
 * 7. Assessment ||  ||
