Blog Post #7

 The teachers websites that I visited all varied, at least a little bit. Some of them had a full on website up, and some of them simply had a link to get into a google meet. A few teachers provide a small bio about themselves, and some provide newsletters for their class. Florida State University Schools elementary teachers all had a link to their Google meet class on their welcome page, an "About the Teacher" tab, a general information tab, a weekly newsletters tab, and a resources tab.

I believe I will likely utilize technology for many tasks as a teacher. As technology becomes more incorporated into schools, the students will likely be using it right along with me. I found an app called Common Curriculum and it is basically a planner for teachers and their lesson plans. They provide templates for teachers to create a lesson plan with and I think it would be very helpful in staying organized. 

I was very, very confused at first when trying to figure out how to operate the wiki platform. It was a little chaotic in my opinion, but once I learned the basics of how it worked, it was not so bad. I did not like the fact that only one person could edit a page at a time. I did like the fact that we could link all of our individual pages onto the first page for quick access. I would probably use a wiki for my future students in the same way we were using it, for group projects. I think it is a good resource for group projects, but probably not any individual type of work.

   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...

      My initial experiences using Diigo have been fairly pleasant. I thought that I would be able to manage figuring out how to work it on my own, but I definitely had to watch the tutorial videos. I like that on Diigo we are able to share a website with a group and even annotate it so that the group can also view it, I think that will be a useful tool as a teacher. One thing that I don't love about Diigo is that when you are on the group page, it is a bit chaotic and can be confusing to see what is what.     I have really enjoyed blogging so far. I think that our blog assignments are a great way to incorporate what we are learning in class to our own understanding. I like blogging because I enjoy being able to complete my assignment while also being able to use comfortable language, and not have to be so formal. It is also fun to think that it is kind of like a little discussion with our professor every week. I have nothing bad to say about blogging, I enjoy i...
