    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 lesson plan that is given as a resource is a way to help correctly identify idioms. The lesson plan calls for poetry, which is kind of a hard thing to grasp, so I would change that part but other than that it can be used. It is the only lesson plan given, but it can be useful nevertheless. 

 It is very important to be a proficient internet searcher. You have to show this information to students so you have to be sure you're showing the correct things. Also, time wise, it would take way less time to search correctly and use the advanced searching technique than to swift through things you don't need. I have already been introduced to a few of these skills, but I just learned the skill to keep certain information from coming up. So, I will start using that. No, there is not.

      I feel like I have used work pretty much as long as I can remember. I started using Word I believe in high school, it could have been in middle school. At my school we mainly used google docs for our assignments so that's why I'm not so sure when exactly did I start using word. I think I like both about the same, Word can be very annoying at times to use, but that is what I prefer to use. I am not sure why I prefer to use it, it's just easier access I believe.      I have selected the ISTE Standard for students to be most meaningful to me. To me this standard is basically saying how technology can be used as a tool and a healthy thing used to help the kids, and not seen as this evil thing that will stunt their learning experiences or growth. It is evident that the world as we know it is changing, we are relying more and more on technology  everyday. K-12 educators has to know this and work with  this, their students will have to rely on...

      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...
