These are some productivity tools that are very useful for teachers of all grade levels and subject areas. They can help keep a teacher organized and save a lot of time. They can be ranked as LoTi level 1 since they are strictly for the teacher's personal use. These tools will be very helpful for my future classroom and could be used by students for some assignments. If students used these tools, they would be ranked as a LoTi level 2 or 3 since they would be directly using the tools for webquest activities or other classroom assignments.

This web-based resources lesson plan would rank as LoTi level 2 since students will be using the computer for a classroom activity. The students will use this lesson plan to learn about the subject and predicate of sentences and practice recognizing them with this online activity. The lesson is designed for ESL beginning students, and there are various online resources that could be used in the classroom as well.

Powerpoint Game

This powerpoint game was designed for ESL beginning students to review what they have learned about the 50 states. It is a very interactive game using the powerpoint program making it a LoTi level 3 since it is used as a guide but students also get to use the internet to find some answers to research questions.

This is a lesson plan that uses a webquest to teach students about the days that the radio was the primary source of entertainment. It was designed for 7th grade language arts students. Another student, Allisa Hall, and I created this lesson plan together. We both think it is a great webquest for students to use to learn about history and practice writing skills. The students get to write their own radio show and record it. LoTi level 3 is achieved by this lesson because students use the computer and recording technology to make their radio show. They also use the internet to research the history.

Artifact from another course

This is a paper I had to write for another course at UGA. It was for a Spanish culture course about Afro-latinoamericans in the Caribbean. Unfortunately this paper is written in Spanish, but it is a comparison of the author Nicolas Guillen and some of his works.
