Reflections on this unit’s challenges in my Learning journal
In my learning journal, I create a new entry to reflect on what I learned from completing this unit’s challenges and the exchanges with other participants.
The post will answer the following questions:
•✅ What is in your teacher survival kit?
In the Mooc course we have seen, read, listened some quite interesting links. I would like to mention the following:

I prepared my Teacher survival kit using ThingLink, an app very visual, interactive where I included all my things in my bag 💼.
This is my link...

My real teacher survival kit.
We all have the basic supply list of pens, paper DINA4, paper different colours, paper clips,
staplers, etc... but those items are not the “supplies” I need to start gathering. I am referring
to the special teacher supply list need to survive the school year. During all
these years of I have come to realize that my second home is my classroom. As much as I hate to admit it, I have discovered many times the need for items on my list and couldn't have survived those after school meetings, parent/student meetings or all other after school functions without these supplies. They are really that vital.

✅📝 How will your teacher survival kit help me better manage my classroom?
I'm one of those teachers who always carry backpacks filled with everything from my IPad,
books, dossiers, files, to clay and stickers. Like most of us, that's because I always have 2 or more plans up my sleeve, in mind before going into my classroom.

- And of course, a lot of imagination, patience and a lot of enthusiasm, be positive when you are a teacher.
✅📝How will creating a resource hub for parents help you engage parents so that students behave better online and in
your classroom?
Teachers can avoid a lot of stress by making connections with all parents at the
beginning of the school year.. The first step is to send all parents a positive message letting them know how excited you are about
teaching their son or daughter. This way the first communication isn’t negative.
Parents also need to know right away how to track their child’s progress regularly and how to contact you if problems do arise. Engaging parents is a
challenge, but technology helps us communicate with parents regularly and quickly.
We also shared and discussed about all these points in the Tweeter chat...
I prepared the Challenge unit 4 using the Buncee app, very interactive presentation for parents in our school about Digital safety, citizenship and learning resource.The link of my Buncee presentation is the following...I included this information in my presentation for clarification and intentions when preparing it...I am a teacher of 13-years old students who study in a bilingual school in Tenerife. We are using the iPads in the classroom and using new technologies for teaching. We connect to The Internet for doing projects. Security is our priority for our students. We are working on it everyday. Parents can help us in that task. Many parents do not know how to do that so we have prepared a digitial presentation in Buncee for parents with different tips to take into account for helping their children to protect themselves when using digital devices or using Internet.
