﻿Reflections on meeting this standard: I feel as though I am on "technology overload" right now. Once I began learning one source of technology for my class, it led me to numerous other ideas and opportunities. I am trying to use as many of the new ideas as I can, but I definitely feel the time crunch right now. Goals for future:  
 * I plan to spend the summer refining my current science lessons to include implementation of these new technologies. This will eventually become "business as usual" for my classroom. **
