Instagram for your Personal Learning Network

I use Instagram to connect with people for my network the most, being able to look at videos and connect with other students who are also interested in beginning teachers is quite helpful. I also look at other educators who have experience with teaching to hear what they have learned throughout teaching. Instagram is a great tool for finding helpful videos, profiles, and other websites to help in a classroom. I believe Instagram would be part of my future career to look for projects for students or even connect with other educators.

 

Digital divide

Digital Divide discusses the gap between students who do and who don't have access to technology. It is more common in today's education that students might need technology to complete projects and classroom work. The digital divide struggle occurs all over the United States and can affect student academic success. It is often that the digital divide occurs due to financial issues in the school system and lack of funding for these materials. As a teacher, it is essential to find other methods for students to learn if technology is not visible in the classroom. For instance, having students use books, crafts, and other in-person activities to help with lesson plans.

 

 

Academic Software

Academic Software can help students in multiple ways and be an excellent tool to help students learn in the classroom. Throughout this week, I learned about two software that I previously didn't know of"Teachmint" and "Hello Parents". The first software, Teachmint, helps with organizing within the classroom and keeping track of the curriculum and timetables for students. This can help students stay focused in class and on track. Hello, parents are also software for parents' usage and to help them be involved with their kid's education. I would use both software programs to help students feel engaged in their education and have a better understanding of the class lessons.

 Diigo Before taking this course, I have never used Diigo, so this is my first experience with the software. I found Diigo to be a creative tool to connect with other classmates and be able to provide websites that are accurate to the course materials. For instance, being able to post educational software that other people can see gives me an idea about future software to use as an educator. I also found Diigo helpful in staying organized with different websites. Blogging Using Blogging is also a new experience for me. I found Blogger quite challenging at first, but getting used to it during our weekly blog post has helped me become familiar with the software. I have learned how to post a blog, post pictures, and be able to see my classmate's posts. Blogger is a great platform to share your thoughts and be able to post information. I believe I would use Blogger in the future to share information with coworkers or maybe parents.   Web 2.0 tool Taking this course has exposed me to ma

My Microsoft Word Experience  Throughout my years of school, I used Microsoft Word for most of my assignments and projects, mainly in my upper level of education. In my experience with Microsoft, I find it quite helpful software to create essays and other lengthy assignments, K-12 my main experience was taking a computer class in the tenth grade and first learning how to use the software. This helped set up my other core knowledge with Microsoft and made it easier for my other classwork. Also using Microsoft Word at FSU has helped me create more types of projects, for example, our newsletter assignment. The only other software I have used in the past is Google Docs, which is also helpful software but doesn't have as many designs or tools as Microsoft has.   ISTE Standard for Educators ISTE is short for International Society for Technology in Education, and it is broken down into five different standards. ISTE provides students and educators with technology standards that are taught
