To whom this may concern... just kidding, this should obviously concern everyone because my life and schoolwork are absolutely fascinating. Seriously though, being a teacher is very dear to me and the time I have spent in English classrooms is like being at home. I cannot wait to create my own classroom haven. One amazing thing in life is the fact that we as human beings strive to become better. We think of, and dedicate ourselves to goals to better our lives. For me, writing down goals is difficult because I have countless hopes and ideas for every aspect of my life. It is hard for me to condense and define all of the nonsense floating through my head. BUT I am going to try to do so and write 3 goals I have for this class.
Here goes...
1.   I want to have a list of resources of all media types that my students can access and use easily for researching new ideas and papers. This goal is aligned to ISTE Standard for Educators Reading: Informational Text Standard 7 because students need to be able to use multimedia to demonstrate their understanding of concepts. 
2.  I want to know how and where students can publish their own writing for their peers and teachers and anyone else to access and read it. This goal is aligned to ISTE Standard for Educators Writing Standard 8 because it requires students to publish work in some way.
3. I want to have knowledge of many presentation tools so that my students can use different ways of presenting when standing in front of their peers. This goal is aligned to ISTE Standard for Educators Speaking and Listening Standard 5 because students need to be able to make choices and use their creativity.
I would say that knowing how to do these things will engage my students to a greater degree. I believe that setting my own goals and sharing them with my students will help them feel more connected to me as an instructor and provide a good example. As far as tracking their progress towards their goals, I am still thinking about the best way to do that. I imagine there is a digital program that will help with this and I cannot wait to find it!
