  •     A paragraph about your initial experiences using Diigo: To be completely honest, when I first started using Diigo I was a little confused, only because it looks like a search page which I didn’t expect. Since I have started using it, though, I have really liked the layout and that you can see other’s post on the main page right when you log on. It is a little different than a normal web tool I would use with the bookmarking and the steps that go into that, but I think I could get used to it overtime. I don’t think there is anything I don’t like about this website, like I said I think I will get used to it overtime.

  •         A paragraph about your experience with blogging: I never really had experience with blogging until this year. Now, I have to posts blog for two different classes which has given me more opportunities to learn about it. Something I like about blogging is that they are all in the same place/page, so I can go back and look at them whenever. It is also super easy to access my peer’s blogs which is helpful. There isn’t much that I don’t like and something I have been learning is how to attach files/pictures and use the different tools in order to make your blogging experience smooth and organized.

  •      A paragraph about an interesting Web 2.0 tool that you might use when teaching: Another Web 2.0 tool that I think would be beneficial as a teacher is Facebook. Although this social media platform can be used for many other things, the main thing people use it for is to post things. On top of this, there are specific groups that people can join for things they are interested in, and I think something that could be beneficial is a teacher group. You can even get more specific and make groups by subject, grade level, or even school, but I think this could be used for teachers to post their favorite lesson plans/activities, videos, games, etc.. These groups can be very beneficial and are open to comments and messages as well, so many people can contribute their ideas or give feedback on these teachers’ posts which can help everyone involved. https://www.facebook.com/tchr2tchr?mibextid=kFxxJD

·         Post a link   to your website designed in  Assignment 3 :  https://peytonpclassroom.weebly.com/   ·         A paragraph about your daily use of AI tools: Personally, I do not use AI tools often and I think I have only used it once in my life. That one time was when I was writing a graduation speech and someone told me to have ChatGPT write one for me just to get some ideas and then I could edit it from there. It did end up working really well but I don’t think I have used it since then because I am always scared that if I use it for class I would get in trouble and I would rather just do the work myself. My only motivation to use AI comes from the fact that my research teacher told us that we could look up research topics for our big projects if we couldn’t think anything, but not to use it further than that. Hearing this come from a teacher made me feel better about potentially just usin...

·         A paragraph about the ELA technology standards: The standard I chose from this list is “Computer Science- Personal, Community, Global, and Ethical Impact” through grades K-2. This standard highlights the importance of how to properly shut down/log out of your stuff on a computer, the importance of a password to protect everything in your files, how technology is important in the workforce, and how important it is to be aware of everything that goes on online and making sure everyone is being respectful of their peers when using technology. I do think I feel prepared to implement this skill set when I become a teacher because these are pretty basic skills to teach and I know how to work with technology when teaching these things. On top of that, I know how to be a good digital citizen- knowing how to decipher what to and what not to post, keeping some of my files private, reporting cyberbullying if necessary, etc., so I believe I will be able ...

Blog Journal #10

As a teacher, I feel I will collect data for many things, but specifically for attendance and student performance. Attendance will be collected for safety purposes so that I am always aware of who is here and who is not in case of an emergency and for group assignment purposes. For third grade math specifically, I will track student performance in a spread sheet so I can measure their progress over the year. I will have a spread sheet with columns such as Q1 test, Q2 test, Q3 test, and Q4 test, then divide each of those up into the different benchmarks we focus on throughout those weeks. By doing this, I will be able to observe who is learning properly and then reflect back on my teaching styles to see if that has anything to do with their positive/negative scores. With parents, I will use Qualtrics or a Google Doc Survey form if I ever need them to fill out papers regarding their child.
