After researching through an online network, I needed to watch a lesson. This to me was one of the most eye opening experiences of completing the VAT. There are SERIOUSLY a TON of resources out there for my AP Literature & Composition course. Notably, I was able to find flipped lessons, student projects, and a plethora of lectures. I used one of these lessons, "Katy Massey Teaching Lesson Day 2" and completed my necessary reflection and screencast.
From conception to product, the use of technology and my professional learning network helped me in this assignment. And, I have found a new appreciation for the amount of stuff that is all over Twitter. It's like tuning in to conversations all over the world about what ever topic I'm interested in. That's just scary cool.
