About Me.

 I chose to look at  FSUS for a class page. The information shows pretty basic things without giving out too much information. Some of them has their Amazon wishlist attached to their site incase anyone would like to help in the classroom, I think that's smart. Other than that they have pretty generic things like, a get to know me, newsletter, permission slips and etc.   6259 I don't think there's any way that you could get away with not using technology in a classroom so, it's pretty easy to envision myself using it as a way to be more efficient. I could use things like canvas to provide the children with deadlines and timelines for assignments. It helps keep everything organized and where they should be. Canvas is also pretty easy to navigate and will help keep everything flowing smoothly.  It was fine for the most part. Nothing wrong with using Canvas for this it was actually easier than I expected. I would pretty much use it just as everyone else is using it. To ...

 My initial experience with Diigo was not too interesting. I like the fact that it has the different tags for different things. For example, it has the annotated tab, images, and others. There is not too much that I don't like about Diigo. I haven't got much a feel of it.  My experience with with blogging has been pleasant. It is a pretty easy site to navigate and get through. I like the fact that you can have a group setting I think that is a good add-on to the site if you wanted to do as were doing and have it as a class thing. I've learned plenty of new terms from this blogging process. Like last weeks term, digital divide etc.  There are a lot of Web 2.0 tools available that would efficiently get the job done for future teaching assists.  I think PBS learning media would be a good tool to use for my future in teaching. It has videos, games, photos and other things that will be helpful to hep children understand a subject. It will also work as a new fun way to int...

 Twitter : I do not really interact with people, the most that I will do is like a post. By liking the post it brings more posts onto my feed like that, which limits what I don't want to see. So, that is what is beneficial to me. It can be helpful in my future career because twitter lets you follow certain topics. I could follow topics that pertains to my career, which will help me get more information that I may not be aware of.  Digital Divide: Digital divide affects students the higher their education goes. So, about the time you reach middle school is when teachers will be expecting more out of your through technology. This will cause students to maybe get bad grades on assignments or come up short of the things asked of them. A few causes of the digital divide could be money, time, and effort. The Digital divide will only make me implement a few technology starters lesson. I would basically take time to teach the children basic technology tools.  Academic Software fo...

     The grade I have chosen is 2nd grade. Standard 2: 'Problem solving and algorithms' under "Communication Systems and Computing" caught my eye. To me it is basically making sure the children can problem solve on their own and with technology, while being able to give a step-bye-step. It is also seeing that the child can define, create, and present algorithms. I would say I am prepared to implement these standards based on my current skill set. These are basic skills to have, skills that was taught at an early age, and i've had more years to perfect these skills over time. Which is why I believe I am more than prepared to implement them.  I chose 2nd grade English language arts to research. Resources are needed to teach any standard, but the resources used to teach this will definitely help the students to identify and explain similes, idioms, and alliteration. This is will most likely be a new skill for the children, which will make it hard to grasp. Using the ...

      Copyright and fair use are a tricky thing to navigate, but I don't think it would be too hard as a teacher. When trying to develop your own materials as a teacher I don't think copyright will be hard to navigate as long as you're checking what is being used. The same caution you use to create your stuff can be give to your students to help them steer clear of this as well. I have not learned anything new, I pretty much knew everything that was being presented.       I would like to discuss cyberbullying. I for one am extremely against bullying in any format. To propose a solution to this issue I would for one let the children know what can be defined as cyberbullying and make sure they know what the consequences will be if I find out that it is happening. There will be no room in my classroom for any kind of bullying and I will be letting that be known throughout the year.       I feel like there could possibly be a way A...
