 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 academic software can help students display their learning better. I would implement the tools of Google Slides and Google Docs. Those two software tools help collaboration between students. By the time I start my teaching career, hopefully, both of those will be relevant by the time I get inside the classroom. The tools help students write papers or do powerpoints in the easiest way possible. The software saves to the cloud and you do not to be linked with only one device.

 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...
