In the future I plan to teach 2nd 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 skill I would like to learn next is learning to use excel better. I think learning excel can help you in the classroom keep track of data, grades and more. I plan to do this by researching and watching videos about how to use excel for teachers. I have had a very small amount of practice with excel and would love to learn more.

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
