Teacher pages on school sites are a very valuable resource for parents and students. It is a one-stop shop that allows for instantaneous access to information and speedy updates from the teacher. I found Ms. Joy Miller's website from Canopy Oaks Elementary School. It is a place where student resources can be found from assignments to important documents, a calendar synced to the official school calendar that allows an overall view of the happenings in class and school, and a small bio provided by the teacher to introduce herself.

As a teacher, I envision myself using technology to enhance my efficiency in the classroom. It is important to streamline many processes when teaching to guarantee a smooth experience and time and space for troubleshooting. Google Classroom can definitely help with this due to its versatility and accessibility. I am very familiar with Google's platforms and making them a part of the classroom will not only guarantee accessibility for students but also enhance their skills with the available tools.

Working on Canvas Assignment 2 was a particularly new experience for me. I did enjoy using Canvas as an education platform. It was very intuitive to add the pages onto Canvas and to build the material and upload it. In the future, I can see myself using Canvas with K-12 students. It is a versatile platform where discussions and updates are always available alongside a wide range of resources for students to have available. And now, after Assignment 2, I see the possibility of publishing their work within the class site.

While working on the Web Design assignment, I acquired some new skills. I decided to branch out, and I used Weebly as my platform of choice. I tend to use Wix, so this was an adjustment at he beginning learning to navigate its features. I enjoyed being able to visualize a classroom setup into a resourceful site setting. Through this assignment I understand how I can use a website to encapsulate my career's work and have any sort of connection go through it. My Website Using Diigo has been very simple due to its easy-to-understand nature. I can see it becoming very useful in a classroom setting due to its interactive features. Diigo opens up many opportunities for collaboration and connecting with peers. I also like the bookmarking and sharing as it creates a direct source to any useful information I find. In today's evolving educational environment, technology plays a crucial role in the way we teach and learn. Teachers are required to master the latest educational technology a...

I have had a lot of experiences using MS Word as a student. I have mostly used it for writing essays for class, and it has worked great. A few years ago, I started using Google Docs due to its instant saving features and its accessibility from anywhere through my account. I also have found the templates very useful and have become familiar with its shortcuts. I do tend to gravitate toward Google Docs, but I really like editing and reviewing on MS Word. As a Head Editor for Her Campus, I have to use track changes and leave commentary on my edits which are very usable features on Word. An ISTE standard that stood out to me was For Students: Digital Citizen. This standard emphasizes the importance of being safe, cautious, and responsible online. As technology progresses our digital footprint becomes more extensive and detailed. It is important for students and the newer generations to understand this from the start and know how important and defining one's traces on the World Wide Web...

When I first joined Twitter, I really enjoyed the casual energy of it. In very few words, one could drop a thought and share it with hopes of it resonating with others. During my time on Twitter, I interact with news sources from world happenings to pop culture. I appreciate how it keeps me in the loop through notifications at my fingertips that might be relevant and maintains me informed. In my future career in the technology field, I feel like Twitter would help me access a lot of information with real conversations unfolding before my very eyes of innovations in the world. The digital divide is a very present issue with the rate at which technology has infiltrated our day-to-day lives. To those who have easy and immediate access to it, tend to assume that everyone around them does too which may not always be the case. This can translate within the educational environment. Students come from different backgrounds with different resources at their disposal–– including technology. ...
