I choose second grade because this is the age group of kids I would like to work with. The standard I choose was “LAFS.2.RI.2.5 Know and use various text features (e.g., captions, bold print, subheadings, glossaries, indexes, electronic menus, icons) to locate key facts or information in a text efficiently”. I feel that I have the knowledge needed to implement this standard in a classroom. Since I choose second grade they are learning the basic skills, these are skills that I have had a lot of practice with. I believe I could find some fun ways to make sure my students meet these standards,

I chose second grade math for my class. The resource that I found was an interactive video and lesson about value. There was a video giving the objective at the beginning then went into the lesson. You have to complete each video and step before moving on. I would use this tool in my classroom because it a fun way to learn math. On top of that it also gets students using the computer and learning about technology.

It is important to be a proficient internet searcher as a teacher because you need to find reliable information quickly. One skill that I learned this week was using images to search. Now that I know this, I will defiantly be incorporating this skill into my internet searching. Another trick I learned was to put three dots in between numbers if you’re looking for a range of prices.

    Hello Emily, I really enjoyed reading your post. Can I asked what inspired you to choose 2nd grade as the grade you'd like to teach? Also, utilizing the standard that you chose, I beleive this is for the purposes of grabbing the students' attention. You mention that you could find fun ways to implement the standard which there are various ways you can and I wish you could've stated specifically the ways you'd implement the standard. Great job on your blog post.

I have used Microsoft Word a lot over the years of my education. I have used it the most in my college years but also a lot during my time in high school.  I prefer to use Microsoft word over other software’s most of the time. Microsoft word is very user friendly and easy to maneuver. The only time I prefer to use a software such as google dox is if it’s something I am working with others on. This is because it is easier for multiple to edit documents on google dox. The standard that is most important to me is 2.2b. This standard is about using your role as a teacher to speak up about getting the technology resources students need to meet each of their needs. Equity is something that I believe is so important in the education field. Not every child’s needs or resources are the same. Each student should have what they need to succeed. Technology and digital content have become a huge part of education. However, there are some students who can’t afford a laptop or do not have Wi-Fi at

  In the future I plan to teach 2 nd grade general education. I plan to use surveys to track their progress. I would use it to see what they know before and after lessons. This will also allow me track the effectiveness of my lesson giving. The topics I found most interesting when reviewing my classmates’ blogs is the diversity. None of the websites or blogs I saw where the same. Everyone has their own sense of style and their own creativity, and it shows. I really enjoyed looking at my classmate’s website designs. We all had the same directions, yet all put it together differently and I love that. I think it really speaks about education in general were all doing the same thing, yet we all have our own way of doing it. While I do not have any experience with digital badges and tech flex I read about them. I think it is a a great idea. It’s a great way to get involved and get excited about educational technology. It’s a great way to bring and keep fun in learning. The technology
