Blog Journal #4

 Of the technology standards, I chose to discuss the English Language Arts for 9th grade. I specifically chose the strand that discusses Vocabulary. The main standard for this topic is the importance of finding meaning, being able to integrate vocabulary terms appropriate to the corresponding grade level in speaking and writing, and apply knowledge of context clues and figurative language. I feel prepared to implement this standard, as I am able to detect which words are necessary for the growth of students all while not being overly difficult. 

I chose to do English Language Arts for grades 9-12. I then chose the standard that states to always cite evidence to explain and justify reasoning. Some of the resources include parts of "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Declaration of Sentiments". I believe that these sources are beneficial to my teachings as it involves using the practice of citing sources and using them to explain one's reasoning and further advance their argument. 

I believe that it is important to be a proficient Internet searcher as a teacher because teachers have responsibilities to find the things they are looking for in order to teach their students. If people are unable to find what they're looking for, they will end up telling incorrect, inaccurate, or too vague information, and be unprepared for certain discussions and topics. I believe that the Internet searching skill that was taught to me that I will most certainly use more of will be the advanced search, as it proved most useful for me to narrow down what I'm looking for. I don't think there could be a better searching skill that would need to be discussed.

There were a few things I didn't like when I first started using Diigo. I am not a fan of how you have to wait for people to accept the invitation to get into the group, or at the very least, how the website doesn't even bother to let you know when you've been accepted into the group. Another thing I don't like is how, in order to perform certain actions, you are forced to use the Chrome extension. Lastly, I found the place where I can upload whatever link I wanted to be slightly confusing and a bit empty too. I actually found myself enjoying blogging quite a bit. One thing I love about it is how easy it is for me to formulate what to say here, in a way that it is similar to Google Docs, instead of being confusing like Word. I also enjoy how easy it is to send new blogs to my blog page, and how simple it is for me to check out my page without having any real problems. One thing that blogging has taught me that there was a place where I could constantly post updates in c...

 I have both good and poor experiences with EME2040. I liked how this class introduced me to different tools and sites that I previously had no clue that they existed. I didn't like how this class used things from Microsoft at times, as they always seemed to give me trouble for no good reason, and I don't like how this class is structured in a way as if it is expecting me to be a teacher in my future career. When I do become a teacher (I won't), I would improve the experience of my students by having the course be considerate to those that don't have a specific career in mind for their future.  Open educational resources are learning resources that are normally online, which anyone can access and use through numerous ways. One example of this is OER Commons. This site allows people to view, create, and even share OERs amongst others in groups. This site contains a whole library of OERs that people can view and use for their own needs. Link:  https://oercommons.org/ Ther...

 I found several teacher pages on the Canopy Oaks Elementary School website. While the pages of some teachers were notably left blank (probably due to me not being signed in as a student or parent), there were some that had lots of information in their class pages. A majority of teachers had a page that briefly talked about who they were, using Google Slides that people could interact with. Teachers had special calendars and schedules that detailed what they would go over in class, some teachers even having a supply list to help inform students on what they should bring to class.  https://www.leonschools.net/domain/1574   I envision me using technology for a majority of my future professional career. Since I'm majoring in creative writing, and I wish to be a novelist, I am required to be constantly writing, and writing on the computer, especially in a place like Google Docs, is really efficient. As a teacher, I would mostly use tools made by Google, mostly due to their ea...
