JADAL EME 2040

I visited the Canopy Oaks website.   The school serves grades Pre-Kindergarten through 5 th grade students.   The homepage has a site navigation where you can go directly to teacher websites.   The information that you can see publicly are assignments, homework, the teacher’s bio, and student resources.   There is also a link to a class calendar.     https://www.leonschools.net/Page/2610 In the future I can envision myself using technology effectively and efficiently in many ways. I am sure that I will use a smartboard and my students will most likely all have laptops or tablets. Those are just two of the many ways. Technology also helps with collaboration which makes the teaching and learning process easier.   I will use technology to assist with keeping parents up-to-date on their students. My visit to Tech Sandbox was very interesting and I am glad that I had the experience. I am sure that the smartboards can be used i...

My initial experience with Diigo was pretty good.   I like that it allows collaboration and it helps to save sites and other information that I would like to share and others can share with me.   This makes it easier if you are looking for resources.   Using Diigo allows a fresh start of material to use or I can use material that has been highlighted by others.   This class is my first experience with blogging.   I like that blogging is a way to express your thoughts and get the thoughts of others.

I can get the thoughts and opinions of others as well as share mine.   Blogging also helps to get the thoughts and opinions of others on different subjects.   A Web 2.0 tool that I am interested in using when teaching is Grammarly. Grammarly is great for a writing class or for assignments that require lots of writing. ...

I can remember creating a twitter account but never really using it that much or basically at all.  I started another account for this class and this is my first time creating a twitter account in EME 2040 and using it for educational purposes.  Twitter will be helpful in my future career because I can use it to connect with other teachers.  Also, using twitter will help me stay current and see what is trending in education. The digital divide can put students who do not have as much exposure to technology as the ones who do.  These students are not able to access information or use technology when it comes to school.  This also limit teachers and the content that they introduce to students.  The use of technology makes the teaching and learning process easier for those who have access.  This can limit students who have access as well as those who do not have access.  As a classroom teacher, I will experience students affected by the digital div...

My project was a webinar on flipped learning for students in order to help them with homework.  Flipped learning helps lessen the frustration of students and parents.  Learners have an active role in the learning process with flipped learning.  The flipped classroom is preferred by students over the traditional classroom.  https://voicethread.com/share/13067864/ https://voicethread.com/share/13067864/
