1.  Publicly, I viewed Ms.Katie Sawyer of Parkway District School's teacher bio and daily schedule. Her bio consists of information about her and her knowledge. Her daily schedule gave a detailed look into what her class will be doing at certain times of the day. This information gave me insight as to how she teaches and what her standards for teaching are. 

2. I envision myself using technology to accomplish my professional responsibilities more efficiently and effectively. I intend on using technology to aid in my everyday communication amongst faculty and students, manage my time, and to quickly complete lesson plans. Resources such as Google Workspace, Google Mail, and Google Calendar can help me with this. This will allow me to optimize my professional responsibilities and enhance my technological educational skills while efficiently managing my time. 

3. My experience with working on Canvas for Assignment 2 was excellent. I enjoyed utilizing a resource I am familiar with. I enjoy the simplicity of Canvas and how easy it is to navigate. I dislike how it does not save your work unless you click save, as I often forget to do this unless prompted. I could use Canvas with my future K-12 students by uploading their assignments to allow them to be aware of their due dates and work at their own pace within reason.

     1. My experience using Microsoft Word is slim. I only recently started using Microsoft Word as a word processing software during my dual-enrolled courses at Gulf Coast State College and now at Florida State University. During high school, I was more familiar with other platforms such as Google Docs. We used this platform to complete assignments and write essays. Although I am more familiar with Google Docs, I have grown to prefer Microsoft Word.       2.

This standard highlights the importance of not only educators using technology in the classroom, but also modeling it to the students and how it can be a tool for learning. This standard is important is important for K-12 educators because it aids them in teaching essential material more effectively. This also prepares students for college and jobs in the fut...

I have experienced distance learning throughout Covid-19 and classes I take that are online rather than in person. Something I like about my distance learning experience is that I can kind of go at my own pace. For example, how quickly I can work through assignments or if I need a break, its possible to take one. However, something I dislike about distance learning is that it is more difficult for me to communicate with the teacher and understand as well as I could in an actual classroom setting. When I am a teacher, I can make sure the students are understanding and provide them with outside resources that could help them. As well as reaching out periodically to make sure they are on track. OER provides resources that anyone can use for their learning experience. Access is free and anyone can share or edit them.  Examples of OER  is a website that gives multiple examples of OER. It provides various information concerning OER such as what it is, links that provide examples, OE...

      From working on the Web design assignment, I acquired new technological skills such as how to create and design a website, how to make it function, what kind of information to include on a teacher website, and became more familiarized with technological tools. I liked how challenging this assignment was. Throughout this class, I have learned more about technology than ever before. It was astonishing to me how simple it was to create a website all on my own. In my future career, I plan on building my own websites to inform parents and students about my class and upcoming events.  Jailyn Williams' Webpage        From working with Diigo, I have learned to better communicate with my peers. This application can be useful in the classroom by communicating with parents, fellow teachers, or amongst students. Diigo is a useful tool for searching and bookmarking items to discuss with peers. It allows you to collaborate and create an organized dis...
