Refelctions
One of the items listed underneath this standard is to model and facilitate effect use of the digital tools. The lesson plan assignment was one that allowed me to create a great outline for conducting my course. This was my first time creating a lesson plan and it has really helped me in my preparation for the course. Lessons plans aren't something that you usally associate with educational technology. It is something you typcially here about in other educational areas. I see now that having a lesson plan is vital to have proper preperation to give the learners what they need.
The Padlet assignment that was created was part of a group project. It showcased how Padlet could used with teachers to collaborate ideas and share files. Padlet can also be used with getting feedback with parents and students. The Google Docs assignment was used for colaboration as well. As a teacher I can leave a note for a student to go back and edit some mistakes. Or, I could use the commenting mode to offer a suggestion.

Future Learning Goals
The assessment survey is a valuable tool. It can surely be used to get feeback from parents and students, similar to Padlet. The advantage is, you'll have the information in a nice tidy spreadsheet. I plan on subscribing to various tech blogs and sites to stay prepared for what new tech may be coming. I will also need to lock down what is the best way to keep up with and contact parents and students. Many of my materials are created with Google Apps as is the course I teach. Whatever Google develops down the line will also alter what I need to create to teach with.
