 Being a Sophomore at FSU, I have now used Microsoft Word consistently for over a year now. My experience with using Google Docs dates back to me using for all of High School. The biggest difference is that Google Docs is very fluid between devices. Since Google Docs is a website it can be easily transferred between devices by using the internet.  Microsoft Word does not do that but instead saves the computer's hardware. Multiple people can work on documents with Docs, Word does not do that. I prefer Google Docs for the fluidity. 

There are seven different ITSE Standards for Educators. The standards explain different ways to cater to students by varying ways of educating. I think the Designer educator is the most important one to me. Looking at now and how all of these online learning classes, there needs to be the ability to adapt and design different teaching methods. 

I do agree with the label "digital native". A "digital native" is someone who has grown up around and with technology. I feel like it was quite often that at the beginning of my education where Smart Boards were used, the students would help the teacher learn how to use the device. Teaching technology helps link the classroom together by the programs used like google drive. The difference between future students and me is that they will be better equipt to online learn because of the pandemic.

 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...
