Blog Journal #10

 In a 12th grade English class, I would use data collection to assess the classrooms and individual needs. I think the nice thing about surveys is that the students can answer on their own without having to share with the class if they don't want to. And I feel like students would be more likely to be honest doing an online survey. I would use surveys to determine which books the class wants to read next, see wherever one is academically, etc…

Something I found interesting about reviewing my classmates' blogs is that I found that most of us share the same opinion. It is harder to connect with everyone since this course is online, so reviewing everyone’s blog was refreshing and gave me that human interaction I was lacking from this course. I also found it interesting how some people format their blogs differently. It was just something I noticed and that was cool and a little funny. 

A technology- related skill I would like to learn next is probably how to use more Microsoft apps like Excel. I took a course on these apps but it was so long ago I barely remember the different features on it. To achieve this goal I would probably take another computer/technology related class, our kind of mess around with it until I figure it out. I sometimes find that just figuring it out on my own is more helpful then following steps.

  I visited Millenia Elementary School’s class pages. They have one for every grade and I chose to look at the first-grade page. This page has the academic expectations of a first grader; what they should know before going into first grade, what they will know at the end of the year, what they will learn in each subject, and how to help the student at home. I think this is useful information for parents to have access to because it can help them prepare their child for the upcoming grade and make sure they are on track. I also really like the last section that highlights the ways parents can help their child at home with reading. The curriculum is always changing but this makes it so that parents know exactly what to help their child with and how.  First Grade - Millennia Es (ocps.net) As a teacher, I would use the different Web 2.0 tools we looked over last week. I think those would be helpful in the classroom and I also have experience with some of them so it would be easier...

  I started using twitter in 2021 and I don't think I actually learned anything from it, I just found it entertaining and funny. I found tweets relatable and a way to people to throw any random thought out there for others to relate to. I started using Instagram when I was in 5th grade (which I probably shouldn't have). Instagram isn't my favorite social media platform just because I find myself comparing my life to others’ and it just creates this false sense of reality. From both platforms I think it is beneficial to be able to connect with all kinds of people from anywhere in the world and it can be an almost intimate way of getting to know someone and their personality type/interests.       I think the digital divide affects students' success in school because some students may have access to certain things on the internet or the internet in general, and then there are those who cannot. Some causes of the digital divide is accessibility, social class, and ...

     I did not really start using MS Word until college actually. Whenever we started to use word processing software in my K-12 experience, we only ever used to Google Docs just because it was easier to set up with our student emails and it automatically saves your work. I prefer Google Docs just because it is what I'm used to, but I don't mind using MS Word. My laptop already comes with it downloaded and set up for me, and I have it, so it also automatically saves my work, so either software is fine for me.      After looking at the website I was surprised to see how much information and advice it holds for educators, students, and other roles in the education field. It is important for educators and students alike to be able to keep up with the advancement of technology and incorporate that into learning and schooling. It is just as important for educators to have the knowledge this website provides as for a student. I also appreciated the way the websit...
