     ELA standard LAFS.1112.2.2.6 in my own words: To use digital resources to share writing projects to provide responses in arguments. In other words, to use resources such as online blogs or zoom calls to respond to feedback and provide new information. I do feel prepared to implement the use of technology in helping my students with feedback. I feel as if I am prepared because of growing up with technology using Microsoft word, online blogs, and zoom. These applications are fairly easy to use to help students learn. Although, I have a lot of room to grow into an even more prepared teacher with these resources.

    The CPALMS resource I chose was a 9-12th grade Social Studies lesson tool called "What is an American?" I chose this because this is what I am planning on major in doing. I would use this tool because its lesson's objective is to evaluate the structure of an argument which is an important factor in social science. The use of rhetorical appeals is also used in this lesson to support an argument which is also important. In my classroom, I would have kids practice this material and implement this CPALMS resource into my own. 

    I believe internet searching is very important to be a teacher to not only find material to help educate your students, but to also think like a student. What I mean by this is that students are always looking to find answers online, and most of the time they do. The goal is to have students learn from using answers online because it is inevitable to have students look up answers. Also. it is important to have internet searching skills to provide efficient ways of teaching your students. For example, using internet searching skills to find CPALMS resources to teach.

 Hey Peers,     Today, I will write about surveys and how they can be beneficial to student teaching. First off, teachers need feedback to become better teachers. There is no such thing as a perfect teacher unless you're Robin Williams in dead poet society. I would use surveys to allow my students to give me feedback on how I can improve as a teacher. For grade matter, I would most likely teach social science so I'd survey my students on what areas or projects to study on. Maybe survey students on how their favorite period of history to focus on. Whatever it may be, surveys are very important to understand your students.     A topic I found very interesting after reviewing my classmates' blogs is relativity. When I say relativity, I mean how similar the students and I are to each other with how we feel about certain assignments or cultures. The students are just as anxious and excited about learning new teaching material for the future as I am and it is great to...

      Microsoft Word has been the main writing software I use. Microsoft word has been the most convenient tool when it comes to writing papers. I can always rely and remain diligent on Microsoft word. For example, this program I'm using doesn't have many edit options as Word such as line spacing or lettering styles. I don't remember doing much word in elementary school, but I do in middle school. In 8th grade, I remember taking a Microsoft course with word, office, excel which I'm all certified for mastering. Then in high school, I used Microsoft word for many papers so I am very accustomed to it.     I believe the most important ISTE standard would have to be leadership. Growing up, I've seen many disobedient students simply because of a lack of leadership. Now, I'm not saying that leadership should be strict obedience and dictatorship. However, many teachers are disrespected and taken advantage of due to being too friendly. I hate to see it. Usually the teach...

Blog Journal #6

Hey Peers!      Diigo seems to be a very useful learning tool with the option to highlight and discuss with peers. However, the time that I've been Diigo, it has deleted my account. I've tried multiple times to verify my account before I could recreate it again. This might have been a minor issue but it got me frustrated for a bit. Diigo itself is a good learning platform for teachers and peers to interact with each other though. I find the sticky note and highlight features very useful for the next time I have to write a paper or just want to learn!     The blogging process is nothing special in my eyes. I find the need to write about yourself seems narcissistic and pretentious in a sense, but if it appeals to others then I'm not judging on that. I do understand the need to write especially or just share things in a non-personal way. I'd rather write in a journal with my thoughts on things than anonymously post them, but I certainly like the idea to it. In shor...
