     The teacher pages I looked through were from the school Vineland Elementary School. The setup for these teacher pages were very organized and easy to navigate through. Each grade had a list of the teachers in that grade and a overview of that teacher. For example I clicked on first grade and there were links to each of the teachers pages. This page gave information like their qualifications and how long they have been teaching at the school. I will say not all of the grades were set up as nicely as the first grade one was, as some of them were lacking a ton of information. Overall as a public viewer I was able to see overviews of some of the teachers, ways to contact them some of the teachers, and a list of some the tools that will be used in that grade.

    As I look at my future I plan on using technology to accomplish some of my professional responsibilities more efficiently. The way I will do this is by using teacher productivity tools like Google Classroom and Remind. I will use Google Classroom because it simplifies things like creating, distributing, and grading assignments, thus making my professional responsibilities more efficient. The main purpose of Google Classroom is to smoothen the process of sharing files between teachers and students. I will use Remind to make my professional responsibilities more efficient because according to google Remind is free for teachers with up to 10 classes and 150 students. Remind is used to send group or individual text messages and receive replies, without needing to provide your phone number; this making it much easier to communicate important information to your students. 

    After working on a Wiki platform I had some likes a dislikes about the platform. One thing I liked was how I could work on it with multiple people at the same time, this made it much easier for each of us to do out part on time. One thing I did not like about it was how it felt kind of laggy or not smooth. I say this because if a few of us were working on it at the same time my computer felt really slow compared to when I was the only one working on it. I could definitely see myself using a wiki in my future classroom. I say this because it is a good way for students to get comfortable with working with other students and it helps when doing group work because you get insight you may not of had on your own.
