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...

 When designing my website, there were a couple principles I followed when making it. I made the format of each tabs very consistent and similar to one another, in order to not make it confusing, I made it so that navigating through the tabs was easy, giving it both a regular tab menu, plus a table of contents on the home page. The one thing I disliked about this assignment was how once you picked a template for a website, there was very little that would happen if you would try to change it into something else, which did kind of force me into doing a specific topic that was different from the one I wanted. The only time I would probably use a website, and require implementing these skills that I used here, would be if I become a writer, or enter the writing field, and advertise my services and/or works.  Link:  https://eme2040spring2024.weebly.com/   I do not use any AI tools when doing work. For starters, the only time I would ever have to use something like AI is ...

There are a few ways I can deal with copyright if I was a teacher. Fair use states that I am allowed to use a limited amount of copyrighted works for the sake of educational purposes, such as teaching and research. When students create their own works, they would be able to use things in the public domain, not anything outside of it. I feel as though these ideas are sufficient enough for me and my understanding of copyright.  One issue involving technology implementation that I believe can be a problem is academic dishonesty. I feel the reason this is a prevalent issue is because of how homework is done in college. Most homework, especially those that involves answering a series of questions in sentence format, involves doing a lot of research and checking to make sure they get the right answer, leading to people wanting to save time. A way to solve this is by not having so much homework, or at least questions in homework that demand saying so much when those problems can be answer...
