 Hey peers, 

    Like you all, I worked on making a website for our class. For starters, a new skill I learned is making a website which is very fascinating. I loved practicing to actually become a teacher as making a website can be a useful tool in teaching students. Certain things I worked on the website really appealed to me like making announcements, calendars, and resources. Calendars are a very useful tool in helping students memorize the due date. In the past, I wish my teachers had assignment calendars and things coming up. Honestly, the only con that I found was not putting in more effort as I can see a potential amazing learning resource for my students.

Here is my website! http://mrleclass.weebly.com/

    When working with Diigo, the bookmark features, as well as sharing remarks, are a very smart tool for teachers and students. The tool not only allows students to work with each other and share their opinion with their peers, but it also allows for teachers to work with each other. Teachers can collaboratively share with other teachers to help each other which is very important to keep teachers from making bad decisions. Individually, it has helped me make notes on certain websites and posts for my own incentive in teaching students. 

    Technology will continue to advance throughout time and will help students learn faster. As I grow as a teacher, technology will grow with me and I will use it to my advantage to teach my students. A lot of teachers these days did not grow up with technology. Younger people captivate technology and have adapted to it. Technology is a great learning tool and schools will too adapt to the education technology that comes with it. It is good to be updated on new technology and how it can affect your studies in learning.

Here is a website to help you keep updated on technology trends! https://www.edsurge.com/

 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...
