Blog Journal #7

     While I was looking at school websites and teacher pages, I found Astoria Park Elementary School. A lot of teacher websites have about the same information. Most of it is simple "Looking forward to this school year!" introductions. Almost all of these websites do have either a students resource page, any material needed, important documents, or even an assignments tab, making the pages easy to look through and find any need information. Also a lot of the pages have cute pictures on the welcome tabs, so they definitely grab your attention.


    I think I am going to use technology a lot to make my professional responsibilities more efficient. I will definitely be using websites like Word, PowerPoint, Google Classroom, and Trello. Through all of these websites, I will be able to communicate with my students and peers more effectively. I will also be able to share more information about class and what is going to be able to make everything run smoother.

    I most likely will not use a wiki for my future classroom. Working on the project was pretty easy. After looking over the website, I could tell where most of the tools where and how to navigate everything. Even though using wiki wasn't hard, I do not think I will use this website because I am not too sure when I'll need to. I was thinking to think of ways I could use it for a future classroom and honestly I'm just not too sure.

    Hi Danyel! I found the same thing when looking at school websites and teachers' pages. Most included important documents and any material needed. I think that these webpages are great for students and parents to have information accessible via the internet.

    Hi Danyel'! I think the websites you talk about, such as Word, Trello, and Google Classroom, are all great applications to bring into the classroom one day. They are all pretty simple to use, yet effective platforms. I think PBWorks looks confusing because it is outdated, but working as a group helped a ton. Great job!

    So far I have actually really enjoyed this class. I have been doing this class completely online, and it has been the easiest class of this semester for me. All the assignments are decently easy and pretty straightforward so it's kind of relaxing to be able to work for this class. Even the assignments that take more effort to complete are still not as difficult as some of my other classes, and I absolutely love that. Also, I love how easy communication is for this class, I don't have to wait days or weeks for a response and that makes this class a lot easier too. When I'm a teacher, I hope to run my class about the same, I know how it is to have such difficult classes and not know what you're doing, and I don't want to do that for my future classroom.      Open education resources (OER) are educational resources that are openly available for teachers and students in order to provide help for teaching and learning. Academic Earth  is a good open educatio...

      Copyright is when someone has exclusive rights to their work, and others can use this work as long as others pay attribute to said owner. Fair use is a set of guidelines that allow people to use said materials for educational and nonprofit purposes. As a teacher I would just assume all material is copyrighted. I would also encourage students to always use citations and learn how to protect their own work.      Technology implementation issues can be described as the social, legal, or even ethical issues children can face when using technology in a classroom. An example of a technology implementation issue would be cyberbullying. In my future classroom, this could be discouraged through conversations about how bad and the effects cyberbullying can have on people, also by monitoring what is going on on the technology that is being used. Another example would be academic dishonestly. This could be prevented by making sure all children are citing all...

      I do not have much experience using MS Word. I used it some during middle school, but soon I shifted to using Google Docs. I would prefer to use Google Docs really just because that is what I have used for so long. I know exactly how to use it and where everything is on it. I do not think using MS Word would be any harder, Google Docs has just always been more assessable to me.      The educator standard that is most meaningful to me would be to demonstrate cultural competency when communicating with students, parents, and colleagues and interact with them as co-collaborators in student learning. To me, this just means being away of outside or cultural effects that can influence life in a classroom , talking to others, or teaching. I think this is important because at least I have had some teachers that can be very oblivious to children having lives outside of school. You cannot know what everyone is going through, but you can at least be considerate ...
