  A paragraph about your early experiences using Twitter(X)/Instagram for your Personal Learning Network. With whom have you been interacting and how have you found it beneficial? How might Twitter(X)/Instagram be helpful in your future career? The accounts I’ve followed personally have not had much of an effect on my learning and network. I never really enjoyed using social media so that could be the reason as to my feeling on the matter. I don’t see a place for social media in education at all, I see it more as a hindrance. While funny educational videos might be somewhat useful you do also have to consider the other content on these sites. A paragraph about the digital divide. How does the digital divide affect student success in schools? What are some causes of the digital divide? Reflect on what you may experience as a classroom teacher and how this will affect your teaching strategies. The digital divide is a growing issue with todays students, some students still do not have...

  A paragraph about the ELA technology standards. Select a grade level from the Standards and Technology Matrices for ELA .  Choose one of the standards listed and describe it in your own words. Do you feel prepared to implement this standard based on your current skill set?  Why or why not? I chose 9-12th grade for the ELA technology standards, the standard I chose was LAFS.1112.RI.3.7. This standard essentially said that it wants students to analyze and integrate different sources of information in different forms of media (paintings, articles, speeches, etc.) to solve a problem or answer a question. I believe that I can implement this standard just fine. History is luckily one of the few subjects that actually have to analyze different media sources as it can be found recorded on practically anything.  A paragraph about one of the resources or tools in the CPALMS Educator Toolkit. To access the Educator Toolkit, select "I am a Florida Teacher" on the CPALMS home ...

  A paragraph about copyright and fair use. How would you deal with these concepts as a teacher, developing your own instructional materials, and having students create their own works? Have you learned anything new about it? Are there any lingering questions, concerns, or ideas? Feel free to share your reflection. Copyright and fair use is not a common issue for teachers in my personal opinion, unless they are trying to do worksheets or a premade powerpoint. It could be that I do not have much experience in that matter but I have not heard my teachers struggling with copyright issues. As a teacher I would try to work in a school that has plenty of resources for me and my students so I hopefully do not have to worry about copyright and fair use. I would love to learn of the obstacles teachers face with them seeing as I don’t know much about this topic.   A paragraph about technology implementation issues. Select one of the technology implementation issues listed below. Pr...

  A paragraph about your experience using MS Word as a student (both in K-12 and at FSU). Do you prefer another word processing software (e.g., Google Docs or Pages)? If so, why do you prefer to use this word processing software? Microsoft Word has been a big part of my time as a student, I have been using MS Word since middle school and it has been very helpful. However, in highschool i started to use Google Docs and in my opinion this program is much better in both functionality and shareability. Google docs can be used on almost any device and can be updated from anywhere with real time updates without any extra steps. This program also makes it much easier to share a document with group members or teachers (you can even convert it into a MS Word document). While MS Word might have more niche features, Google Docs is still much better for the average student.  A paragraph about the ISTE Standards for Educators Select the standard that is most meaningful to you. Have you le...

                Hello everyone, my name is Kristina Puig. I am a 3rd year student at FSU currently pursuing a degree in History with a minor in Education. I enjoy baking, cooking, fish-keeping, and playing many different types of video games. My favorite animals are cats (you can see my cat in a picture below) and fun fact they are not all that different genetically from tigers!               Technology has been around in my classroom for a long time, I went from very simple AR computers to full blown laptops throughout my education. I have used many different programs such as all of the office programs and their google counterparts. Technology has been a big part of the classroom whether it was for writing papers, taking tests, or even just researching different sources. Technology can be a very helpful tool in education that has allowed me and my classmates to do our work anywhere at anytime as w...
