 * Evidence 1:** [|Edmodo Class Account]

**Rationale 1:**
Edmodo is an online educational media network. This site allows a teacher to create a class and have students join the specific class. Edmodo also allows the teacher and students to communicate online. Both teacher and students can send attached documents. In addition, the teacher can also assign assignments with due dates for the students to complete. Therefore, with all of these capabilities of Edmodo, the teacher can teach and assign the assignments and projects in the traditional means as well as online to reach more students who have varied learning styles and preferences. 3.K.1 The teacher understands and can identify differences in approaches to learning and performance, including different learning styles, multiple intelligences, and performance modes, and can design instruction that helps use students’ strengths as the basis for growth. While utilizing Edmodo, it allows be to be able to collect assignments day or night from students as well as allowing the students to be able to look at and review content and assignments that I have given them in the classroom. 3.S.1 The teacher identifies and designs instruction appropriate to students’ stages of development, learning styles, strengths, and needs. As all teachers know, not every student is the same. Thus, not all students’ strength is to sit in the classroom and listen to the instruction given. Some prefer to have it give visually as well. Edmodo allows this to happen because I can give the verbal instructions in class as well as students can access the information to see it while in class as well as at a later time. 3.D.5 The teacher makes students feel valued for their potential as people, and helps them learn to value each other. In order for students to feel like they are being heard and valued in a classroom a teacher needs to play to their strengths. Therefore, with Edmodo I can do just that by using different forms of presentation to get the same content to them.
