Blog Journal #8

 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 peers and get their insight. I think it is a great learning tool to use for myself and my students. 

Finally, I want to talk about what I learned about technology and the teacher's professional development. Teacher professional development is the continuing education effort for any educator. It is a way teachers can improve their skills and boost students' achievement. Technology can be used to boost students' achievement for example. In my opinion, I think technology is a growing factor in classrooms that can benefit students. However, there are disadvantages to technology in classes but it isn't impossible to fix or work around. There are many technology websites designed to keep students on track, You can keep up with the latest technology websites and trends at, https://www.thinkific.com/blog/educational-technology-trends/.

    Hi Serena! I really enjoy your website because of your consistency with fonts and colors! The bright blue in bold is easy to read and is consistent throughout! I also really like how everything is in line with each other (either down the middle or towards the left!)

 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 ...

 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 ...
