For the ELA standards, I looked at the Grade 3 Technology Standards. Out of the 6 total standards, the one that I feel most comfortable teaching is the LAF.3.SL.2.5. This standard requires students to:
“Demonstrate fluid reading at an understandable pace, adding visual displays and engaging audio recordings when appropriate to emphasize or enhance certain facts or details”
The reason I feel the most comfortable with this is due to the technologies that it suggests to use with the students. This is the only standard in which I understand and know all the suggested tech. To feel more comfortable with all the other standards for this grade, I need to expand my technology toolbox and become more familiar with a wider range of technologies to use inside and out of the classroom.

Under the different Grade sections, CPALMS divides into the different subject ranges offering all the standards, lessons, student resources, and etc. for each. I would use the standards list all the time for each subject. They make them easy to find and readily available. It lists them in order and even tells you exactly how many there are for that subject on your grade level’s home screen.

Through working on the Newsletter Design assignment, I have become more used to word and all its available tools. I have even found myself using word for all manner of my academic needs at FSU. The requirements for the word assignment have had me looking at my usual Pages program through Apple differently. It has taught me to become familiar with ALL the programs on my laptop because I never know when I will be needed to use any of the programs, Word or Macintosh related.

    Remember what we have discussed about the learning objectives in class? Instructor's mastery of the content does not always guarantee a good class. Teaching often involves with giving feedback, mentoring, and encouraging, which is out of the scope of how well does someone know the content. You may not know all the specific tech required, and neither do I. However, we are supposed to learn and develop the ability to teach others on these tech. This requires teachers to be fast learners and problem solvers, which is what EME2040 strives to prepare you guys to become.

So, in the traditional classroom setting, the teacher will relay the information to the students and then they do their assigned homework outside of the classroom. The “flipped classroom” literally takes this structure and turns it on its head. In this classroom setting, the teacher will have recorded their lectures ahead of time and have it posted as an online source and the students will listen to these and record their own notes at home. Students then complete assignments while in the classroom and ask the teacher questions on the topics there as well. OER is short for Open Educational Resources. These resources are journals or text books that universities have made available online for anyone to use. For example, FSU’s Intro to Educational Technology course decided to stop using a textbook and made all their sources available through canvas at no cost to the students. Educause offers a data base of different universities that offer OER. These universities r...

The past 18 years of my life have consisted of an innate fear of Excel and its outward intimidation. Being able to actually work with Excel and learn how the program functions, I can now see that is user friendly and easy to trouble shoot issues that you have while using the program. In the future, I will undoubtedly use the program to keep track of my students’ grades and track the class averages. This will help me in identifying what topics I might not have taught in an adequate manner as so to get across to the students. I will also use surveys to get my class’ opinion about parties, my instruction, and various other events in our classroom so I can get a better idea of what I need to change for the next year. Some of the topics that I found interesting on my fellow classmate’s blogs is how they wish to use Twitter in the future. More specifically, I found it interesting on how they wanted to tie in their future career to make their Twitter more professional. F...
