JP's Technological Advancement

 This transition to online distance learning has been really difficult for me. The thing I like is how I do not have to commute for classes. I would not make the walk on campus between classes. I have multiple classes where there I would be late to class if I had to walk around campus. I do not like distance learning because there is a lack of human interaction on Zoom. As a teacher, I would definitely make my class start off on the Zoom by introducing and talking about a topic.  Open educational resources are tools that educators use to help show off. This link I attached goes over different organizational tools that can be inputed into lessons. I think it is important to open up the amount of varying resources in the classroom.  The PowerPoint assignments helped me reignite the skills I have with using PowerPoint. There are many different tools to learn and use. The assignments that had to be done asked us for skills like recording and presenting the presentation. This can be used fo

 Web Design unlocked new ideas for me and how I can apply them to educational technology. This assignment made me use education weebly. This made me more familiar with this kind of educational technology tool. What I did like was trying to figure out what was important for this website. I did not like how to go through and finding links to relate.  Diigo made the transitions and editing of websites very easy. I enjoyed added notes and comments to web pages. This tool would be very useful for taking notes on PDFs or journals. I liked how you can interact with comments where others can see. This can be used well for group assignments of important information.  Innovation in the classroom keeps things fluent and fresh in the classroom. New ways of using technology in the class make it more fun and should make it easier for the kids. I remember the constant transition in technology changed from the time I was in elementary school to high school. I think the use of smarts boards made teachi

 The websites I have used show very little information on teacher information. I did not see any teacher pages on these websites. They just have the contact information. In college, I feel like it is easier to find information on a class or the substance in this class. The information given to the public contains school accolades and also includes clubs along with other information about the school. The point of a school's website is to make this easier for parents to access information on the school.  Godby HS Home I think technology will be important for the classroom and especially mine. I was taught in a technology-rich classroom and I will use it to my advantage. I will use devices to make learning easier by using smart boards and the newest interactive software to create fluidity in my classroom. I would make my notes easy to access. I would want kids to have access to a calendar that has all of my information to make learning and planning easier for them.  I really did not l

 My experience while using Diigo was fairly simple once I followed the instructions again. I had to rewatch the lesson and video to understand how to use the software. I did not think it was easy to add sticky notes to items and make adjustments. I did think that posting the URL to the site and tagging was a super easy part of the process. I did find it difficult to be accepted into the Diigo group.  `I like blogging so far in my experiences. I think it is good to reflect on your coursework and topics that go on in the class. I do like how blogging gives freedom to writers and students to express how they feel. I wish that the blogs would give us more opportunities to write about stuff that is important to us. I have learned how to be a better student and differing opinions on the class from other students. With online learning, it is hard to connect and understand how other students are feeling but the blogs give insight to that.  I really do believe I will use the snapshot tool and t

 Twitter is my favorite way to et new information or topics. I have been interacting with the technology chat. I have asked teachers in this chat, how they feel about online teaching. Twitter is helpful to communicate with other teachers about questions or concerns they are dealing with. I can understand that you need opinions from other teachers that are not necessarily from your area, Twitter can connect you with people from all over.  The digital divide is where people who do and do not have access to computers and the Internet. The digital divide hurts lower-income students that do not have access to those things. With the movement to online learning, this puts kids at a disadvantage. Social classes can affect the digital divide. As a classroom teacher, you can see kids falling behind because of this. Learning online relies on access to wifi and computers, I would do my best as a teacher to not need the students to rely on the internet for the completion of their work.  I think aca

 ELA technology standards are suggestions made by the State of Florida. The purpose is to make up instructions and advisement for teachers and how to use technology relating to their grade. The document that is given has media ideas and different ways to use information, often technology. In the module, there are different ways to develop the class and build on technological skills.  CPALMS is an educational tool for teachers. It is used to share certain lessons and environments that teachers can use to educate their kids. I have an interest in high school social studies and I found some great things. The database has lessons and other information that teachers can use. Specifically, timelines are all over the social sciences page on CPALMS. I would find specific material that can be relatable to my class.  Internet searching can help students learn and narrow down questions and concerns. To be a good Internet searcher as a teacher, it helps you display knowledge of information to teac
