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.

 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 ...

 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...

The biggest skill I gained from Assignment 5 was how to use links in one slide in order to switch to different slides.  I had some experience with hyperlinks before, but not in this kind of manner. The one thing I disliked, like all other times I use Microsoft, was having a difficult time dealing with PowerPoint. It was extra frustrating as it was giving me a difficult time to even send the slides over in order for them to get graded.  I'm not entirely sure when exactly I would use data collection tools in my future career. If anything, I would probably use them when in relation to how certain written works of mine are received by others, since I'm going to be in the creative writing field after all. I could probably keep a list of how well certain books of mine do well with my audience. One other thing can be or have a survey of how well I implement certain elements into my stories. I think one technology-related skill I would like to learn next would be cybersecurity. I woul...
