Reflection:
Teachers are always in need of professional growth. Education is constantly improving, and teachers need to stay up with the most innovative techniques. By collaborating with other teachers, teachers are being apart of learning communities. The use of a website allows teachers to examine how they present information and make changes upon reflection of the effectiveness of the website.

I would like to learn more about how to find professional development for technology. Often, teachers are given technology and not told its full capabilities. This is how teachers find one use for a piece of technology and limit the technology's potential. I want to find the full capabilities of each piece of technology I use.
