     Because I would like to teach elementary school, I chose a standard for third grade. Standard LAFS.3.W.2.6 essentially says that students will be able to write and work with others by using technology and the help of an adult. I believe that I would be prepared to introduce this standard to a class based on my own skills with technology. I think it would mostly consist of teaching students how to use the keyboard to type and other simple actions such as how to save their work, and how share it with others.

    One of the resources on CPALMS that caught my attention was the Protect the Turtles: Solve Two-Step Word Problems. This resource helps students work through two-step word problems by creating problems relating to sea turtles and their survival. Students are encouraged to draw pictures or use counters to solve the problems by grouping, and learn how the groups can be used in multiplication, division, and subtraction. Students are also furthering their reading skills by identifying key words in the problems. I think this would be a great tool for any class, but especially for classes that are in Florida, as sea turtles are an animal that most students here would recognize and have understanding of, and it is also a great way to raise awareness for the protection of sea turtles. 

    With how evolved technology is today, I believe that being proficient at Internet searching is essential as a teacher. Technology is involved in pretty much everything now, so to not use it to your advantage would be a disservice to you and your students. The Internet can provide endless resources for teachers and students. I think that after this week I will begin using the advanced search option on Google when I am researching things. I was not aware that this was even an option until this week and I think it would be really helpful for when I am doing research for school, and definitely in my future career.

 The Web Design assignment was actually a pretty fun assignment to complete. The Weebly website is very user friendly and easy to navigate. It was fun getting to design all of the pages in any way I wanted to. I do not have any complaints about the assignment, I thought it was a fun and easy project, all of the design elements are right there with a click of a button. I will actually very likely use this site during my future career as a teacher, if it us authorized. I think it is a great way to have a place with information that can be easily accessed by parents and students, and allow an extra form of communication. http://kaelilegg.weebly.com/ I think that Diigo is a great site for both students like myself and for teachers. It is a little complicated to use at first, but once you get the hang of it, it can be really useful. It is a great tool for both team and individual work as you can share links to websites, annotations, leave notes, and it can all be published for everyone ...

      My name is Kaeli and I am from Jacksonville, Florida. I am currently attending Florida State University as a junior and pursuing my bachelor's degree in family and child sciences, with a minor in education. It is my goal to have a career as an elementary teacher after I graduate. I come from a big family, with 6 siblings. I have an English Bulldog named Piper and she is my whole world. I have always loved to read and I do so with any spare time I have between school, work, and a social life.      I believe that I most likely have as much technological knowledge and experience as the average college student. I have used technology in an educational setting since middle school, with presentations made using Powerpoint, or papers written in Word, but not much else outside of that. I suppose these last few semesters I have used technology in an educational setting more than ever, and can include Zoom in my technological abilities. I do not have any experi...

   I would say that I have a good experience with Microsoft Word. I have been using it for years and I also took an introduction to technology class, so I know my way around it well. I have used other word processing softwares like Google Docs, but I find that I prefer Word. Since I have used it for so long, it is easier for me to manage and I also feel like Word has a much bigger variety of tools available than other softwares. I have written countless papers on Word for school, and I have also used it for other school projects, such as creating a brochure.      I believe that all of the standards for educators are very important. They all have their different roles in improving teachers and therefore improving learning for students. However, I do believe that for an educator to be a learner is probably the most important standard. Educators can learn to better their teaching methods by observing and practicing other teachers strategies. Teachers can learn by k...
