  Pages on a school website are beneficial for students and teachers so that they are able to access necessary information when not present in schools. The websites provide emails so that you may contact the teacher if a parent has any questions. The page allows parents and students to know about course content for all of this teacher's classes. This page allows parnts students to get an overview of each course as well as have access to assignments that are worked on in class.  https://teachers.stjohns.k12.fl.us/rutledge-c/   I envision myself using technology in my class often. In this new generation technology use in the classroom is common. I think my assignments will all be administered online for the reasons that they are easier to grade, and students are able to know their scores at that moment. It also eliminates the possibility of the paper being lost or destroyed if submitted electronically. I also plan on using tools like the PowerPoint and Microsoft word when...

 I have never used Diigo before I used it in this course. It has taught me so many thing I didn't even know I could do on websites. It taught me how to bookmark articcles and add sticky notes. Those are two of the features of Diigo I can see myself using in the future as I can see it being extremely beneficial in taking notes or doing research. Blogging has become a big part of my life, with so many different social media platforms there's always a way to blog or vlog(video blog) your experiences. Blogging is a great way to capture memories as well as emotions at the time. Blogging is also a great way to engage with family and friends when sharing just thoughts and feelings. Like in this course, seeing someone blog about a similar experience allows you to connect with them. A Web 2.0 tool that I would use is Schoology. I used this in highschool and it was a great way to ask questions when we weren't ion class like about homework. The questions also don't come directly t...

 Twitter is a great social media platform for netwroking. I've met some of my closest friends and classmates on the app by simply having similar interests. I think it's a great tool to bond with like-minded people. I can see myself using Twitter in my desired career to meet other teachers and learn different teaching stlyes. Digital divide can cause a hinderance to students' education. Since all students may not have access to the same resources it can be difficult for students to learn. The pandemic was evidence of that, since students were forced onto remote learning, many can testify that it has been harder to learn. In  my classroom I would want students to let me know if they may not have internet or a computer if needed in the classroom so that I can accomodate them. Two software tools I would use in my clasroom are onenote and edmodo. One note is a great tool for taking notes. It allows studnets to take all notes on their computers and store it on the software progra...

I chose the standard LAFS.910. L.3.4 from grades 9-10. The standard's purpose is for students to know the meaning of a word or phrase based off of context clues. This is an essential standard because we often see words we may not be familiar with therefore students should know how to use context clues to have an idea to what the words may mean. I do feel that I am able to implement this task as I’ve done it often by making myself familiar with sentence structures as well as context clues.   The Instructional Resources tool in the English section of grades 9-12 is one I would use in my own classroom. Being that this is a time that students can be preparing for the next level of education knowing how to write an essay can take them a long way. Not just knowing how to write an essay but knowing the elements and exactly what specific writing techniques spice up your writing. The tool has various resources that would teach students the do's and don’ts of writing a good paper. ...

Copy right is using the work of someone else without their permission. Once a piece of work is published by someone it become copy righted. To use the work of someone else you must ask for permission. There are exceptions to Copy right found under the Fair Use policy. The fair use policy allows exceptions to the rule such as parodies, comments, researching, reporting, and teaching.   Technology implementation issues such as cyber bullying and decreased productivity are things that would be addressed in my future classroom. Cyber bullying is something I would not tolerate. Cyber bullying could cause students to not want to perform in class at all. Decreased productivity is another factor that I would address. Switching from paper to computers shouldn't mean that students do less work. I would expect to see the same if not better productivity from students.   I learned many things working on the newspaper assignment. I learned how to make a banner using the Canva website...

 I have been using microsoft word since middle school. I had a tehnology class in both middle and high school where we learned each tool and how to use them properly. This is one of my favorties to write on, I also realy like Google docs because of the autosave feature. Microsoft word is easy to ujse and it's useful having the wod count shown at the bottom at all times. The most meaningful standard to me is the one where "e ducators seek out opportunities for leadership to support student empowerment and success and to improve teaching and learning." I think this is the most important because students need someone in which they may look up to or just be able to learn from. I think a teacher showing leadership empowers students to also want to be leaders. Advocating for the best needs for all students is something I comepletely agree with becuase all students should have equal oppurtunities and accomadations when needed. A digital native is someone that was introduced to t...
