Blog Journal #7

 Teacher pages are almost always available on school websites. The reason for this is to provide students and parents with information about the teacher and subject/class that they would need to know. Teacher pages typically have a school and class calendar, the class policies, links to state standards, links to resources that are relevant to your class, homework assignments, events, other announcements, and finally a profile page about the teacher. The profile page about the teacher typically has where the teacher studied, what they studied, how long they have been teaching, their hobbies, and more. Example: https://www.somersetwellington.com/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=1147472&type=u








As a future educator, I envision myself using a decent amount of technology in my class. As shown above I will have a teacher page that has all the information students and parents need to know about my class. I will also be showing videos, PowerPoint, and more on the board. I will also have my students use online programs that help them learn, such as Khan academy. 

If I end up teaching high school or above I would use Canvas since it is easy and organized. Canvas has announcements about classes, the syllabus, modules, assignments, grades, a chat, a calendar, and more. It makes getting work done a lot easier. I do not dislike anything about this platform.

The reason I had to create a Twitter for this class was so I can publicly post using #fsu2040 or #edtech or more for my tweet having to do with the topics discussed in class. I also have been able to interact with informal teachers or school systems that have been beneficial for me as a future educator. I have been able to learn information on how to make the "perfect" PowerPoint for students and how to register it for copyright. I have learned much more as well but that is just one example. I am sure Twitter will continue to be a valuable resource for me as I continue my journey to becoming a teacher si...

 As a student I prefer to use Google Docs over Microsoft word. I think I prefer Google Docs more because I have been using it my whole life. In middle school and high school teachers would tell us to use Google Docs. However, in college teachers started telling us to use Microsoft Word and I was so confused. I feel like Google Docs is more self explanatory, whereas Microsoft Word is not.  ISTE Standards for Educators are very important tools to remember. I chose 2.4 b Collaborator because it is the most important, in my opinion. "Collaborate and co-learn with students to discover and use new digital resources and diagnose and troubleshoot technology issues." It is important for teachers to engage with students to figure out what the student is struggling with, especially technology wise.  The term digital native means a person born or brought up during the age of technology. Someone who is a digital native is familiar with technology and knows how to use it from an early ...
