I'd like to give a big thank you to Jesse Fitzgerald from Niskayuna Schools for giving some great feedback on my Final Project Website for ED560.

We learned about all of the Google resources that can be best used in the classroom. Specifically, the use of Google Classroom and Google Forms are resources that can be used to help all students.

Overall, thanks to all my professors who made this class a wonderful experience.

Throughout ED 560, a Modern Teacher course I took at Clarkson University I learned many things about being a teacher in the 21st century. From one half of the course, we learned about how to work with students in a diverse setting and talked about how to work with students who

show students that they are a part of our world and they need to have a space to talk about things outside of school.

I am hopeful that the new reliance on Google Learning Systems will be improved so that the structure students have gained from it may help them grow and learn.

[MichaelB_560 @MichaelB_560]

As one might expect this school year's heavy reliance on remote learning has moved Learning Management systems (LMS) to the forefront of education. In both k-12 and college, LMS has been used before covid, but now they are critical to the structure that students need to learn.

[MichaelB_560 @MichaelB_560]

As a college student, the convenience and real-time connectivity of the google applications make group projects easy to complete. Though the Google applications are great for work between students the flexibility of Google Classroom can still be improved on the teacher's end.

American Slave, and Empire of the Summer Moon. Both of these books gave me new perspectives on U.S. history and made that class so much more relevant and useful to me as the years have passed.

This week I finally realized why my favorite class in high school was so amazing.

In Cultivating Genius by Gholdy Muhammad she discusses how teachers should teach using various different pursuits. Specifically, she describes pursuits of Intellect and of Criticality.

[MichaelB_560 @MichaelB_560]

He also fostered criticality within us by choosing books that were relevant to the eras in U.S. history that we were studying, but were able to connect the texts to modern-day issues. The two books that I remember most clearly are Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an
