 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.

 Hello! Today I will be talking about copyright, fair use, technology implementation issues, and new skills I have acquired. To begin copyright is the legal protection of any property someone creates. It means that if you create something you have the right to use it and distribute it if you want to. Fair use is when you copy anything for a limited purpose and this can be for school, noncommercial, and more. As a future educator, it is important that anything you create is registered and protected. As for using other things in the classroom students and educators cannot use copyrighted works without permission. It is ok to use things created by yourself or students but you cannot use pirated or copied programs, photocopies of an entire textbook, and more.  Secondly, I will discuss technology implementation issues. Cyberbullying is the act of bullying a person over electric communication. Cyberbullying affects many students every day but there are things we can do as educators to solve

 When designing my website I learned many new and helpful skills. For instance, I learned how to align text which ultimately makes the page more organized. I also learned how to attach a link to text that opens a separate tab or takes you to the different sections on my website. Finally, I learned how to embed a Google Calendar into my website. Overall, I had such a fun time creating my website because I got to get creative! I also get to use these skills I learned in the future when I am creating an actual website for my students and parents.  https://verduzcomath.weebly.com/ I also learned new skills when working with Diigo. I learned how to highlight content on any page and also add comments to them. It is extremely helpful to mark important stuff and write why I marked them. I also learned to bookmark, search, organize, and share discussions. In the future, this application can be extremely useful in my classroom because students can organize their work better and share it with pee

Since signing up for Twitter I have used different sources that have helped me to communicate and stay connected with tweets from informal educators and school systems. Tweets are messages that can contain photos, links, videos, text boxes with information, and more. On Twitter, you can retweet, reply, mention someone, use hashtags, follow someone, and direct message someone. 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
