An Introduction to EME 2040

     Hello for whoever is interested, I am JP Gutierrez III. I am now a Sophmore at Florida State, majoring in Social Sciences in Education. My reason for getting this degree is to teach at my alma mater in Miami. The reason for me taking this class was to create a basis for how to teach online learning if needed. My goal is to teach History and coach Football. This degree path puts me on the best track to do so. I worked this summer as a swim intructor. I am now going to an Assistant Manager at my swim program. I like teaching kids how to swim is the most fufilling thing I have ever experienced. 

    My prior experiences with technology date back with High School. The majority of my High School work submissions were online. We learned using Ipads and Google classroom. I think that preparation has helped me realize how to do work online. The transition between using Google Classroom and then to Microsoft Office at FSU has been pretty seemlesss. I really enjoy Microsoft Office even though Canvas is not as helpful as I would like. 

    My personal learning network is surrounded by supportive people. My mom is a teacher herself and I like to discuss what I am learning in my education classes. I also have kept really close relationships with my High School teachers. I often ask them for information on classes I have and bring up discussions or topics when I call them regularly. A relationship I really value is my relationship with my Head Coach. I call him to ask questions on certain aspects of football that I am learning. The adjustment to moving back to Tallahassee has been difficult but with constan phone calls I felt that it has gotten easier.

    Hi, JP, you are an athlete! Did you play football at high school? My son plays baseball but we are not sure he can play this fall or next spring due to Covid-19. I wonder how you can do social distancing in a pool. You cannot wear masks! Anyway, I think you already have a great teacher PLN in your real life. You will learn how to use technologies to expand/build your PLN as well. There are lots of online teacher communities you can interact with and get some useful resources.

 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 infor...

 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 ...

 Data collection and surveys are important to understand what statistics show. I have seen teachers use this as a way of surveying the student's opinions. In High School Education there can be good ways of grading by using a rubric format as surveys. Asking students to rate a presentation and other things can help innovate the classroom and engage students.  I think it is very interesting to see the intentions of others in this class. I find the innovation of teaching special needs and younger students interesting because I do not deal with such things. As being a teacher interested in older grades, I think it is refreshing to read and understand other opinions and innovations.  The technology skill I want to know next would be maybe coding. I think there are other things more important to cover when it comes to education technology. I want there to be a lesson on how to make lesson plans aesthetically pleasing to look at. I feel like I am bad at making lesson plans and c...
