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.

Copyright is a way for people to protect their work. It requires anyone that uses their work to give them credit. Fair use allows educators to use copywritten materials to an extent for education purposes. As a teacher I may use other materials as reference or inspiration but make sure to make it my own. If I use articles or videos in my PowerPoints, I will make sure that I site them correctly and give credit to the creator. Cyberbullying is something that both students and teachers have to deal with that 10 years ago didn’t really exist. With the increase of social media use at all ages bust mostly school aged cyberbullying can hurt a lot of students. A possible solution to this is to raise awareness encourage parents to monitor student’s social media use. Provide information to both parents and students about what cyberbullying is, how and where is occurs. When cyberbullying occurs take action. There should be clear guidelines of the punishment that will occur if a student is caugh...

  I really enjoyed the web design assignment. I learned that I am a little more creative than I thought I was. One thing I liked was that it gave you a really good base set up but you could make it your own. One thing I didn’t like was that I couldn’t put my own header picture because I was using the free version. I think everything I learned from this assignment will be very useful for my future career. Teacher or not a lot of occupations require you to have a website. However, as a teacher I know a great program and skills to use for my teacher website. I learned that Diigo is a great resource to use when annotating articles. I also learned that this a great resource to use to keep all your materials organized and saved in one place. Before I took this class I had no idea what Diigo was. I like that you can share your articles and annotations with those in your class. This application can allow for collaboration between my students in my future classroom. Students can learn fro...
