Each teacher page is a little different however there is some information that stays consistent through them all. Contact information is the biggest thing that I saw on all of the pages I viewed. A few of them listed materials and class resources. There are a few with bios about themselves or the classes they teach. Some them are more detailed and creative than others for instance one that I saw was a English class. This teacher has pictures, links and descriptions of all the books and articles they will read that year.

I will use technology to help me stay on track to be productive and efficient. Google drive is a productivity tool that I see myself using in the future. Google drive will allow me to keep all of my documents, spread sheets, slides and more all in one place. Making it easier and more time efficient for me. Keeping an online calendar such as google calendar that connects to both my computer and my phone will allow me to stay on top of my tasks no matter where I am.

I personally did not have a good experience with the wiki platform. Due to the website being down I had to restart my assignment multiple times where everything I had done got deleted. One big dislike I had was that only one person could be editing a page at one time. So working with a group that was a struggled that we faced. One thing I did like was that from a viewer’s perspective it was clean, neat and easy to understand. In the future I can use wiki to create a monthly page that tells my students and families what will be going on in class. I can link other pages that I want to include and links to other cites if needed.

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

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 from ea
