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!)

 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 ...

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...
