Answer in a complete paragraph response:

1. How has the Navigate module prepared you to meet each standard listed above?  Specifically address the standards listed above and link to or provide specific examples from your work in Navigate. 


1. Online teaching is different than F2F in that we are given a platform but can add to the learning in any way we please. Often, I will look at what the students are doing, what the trends are in each lesson(Standard I).
