Blog Journal 5


      I started using twitter when I was in middle school and at first it was kinda hard to work it just because it was not as popular as it is now. Eventually it ended up being a great source for me to find out the weather and anything that was going on where I lived due to the fact that the weather channels would tweet everything as it happened.  Twitter has always been great with me because I can make a group chat with friends or anyone in general  and be able to send them motivational videos all at once. Twitter can help me in the future because if I ever need a reliable source of news twitter has reliable news sources that tweet by the minute.


  When it comes to digital divide it really affects students now a days because most of the students do not have money to buy equipment for online classes. Low Income family's would not be able to afford a computer and then other students who can afford that equipment would be ahed of those students who do not have the equipment to be  able to connect to zoom classes would miss valuable information. If I was a teacher it would be very stressful to get all kids on online classes due to the fact that low income family's would not be able to get certain equipment so as a teacher, I would not be able to teach my lesson because some of the students would not be in class. That is why it would be so stressful for teachers to teach now due to the fact that everything is online.


The academic software that I would implement in my classes is word. I have used word for most of high school and college and it is just a great software. Word is so easy to use and has so many different options to help improve your writing and insert picture or anything in general. Also it would be great for my students because if they misspell a word or a format they are trying to use you can click on it and the correct version comes out and it just helps you correct your mistakes on the spot as you are writing.

    Hey Cristian! I definitely agree with you about the digital divide. I can't imagine how stressful it is to be a teacher right now. Even if we, as teachers, could provide computers to all students, there's still the issue of some students not having wi-fi at home. It's a real conundrum.

                          Blog 7            After viewing a teachers page from Peters Township School District. The teacher had her schedule up on the website as long as her different classes with their assignments and when things are due. Also she also posted up her contact information so that her students can contact her when they need assistance or anything in general. After viewing each class page, most of the classes have different goals that they are trying to receive.  https://bakere.educatorpages.com/pages/my-schedule       When it comes to me teaching what I would want to use to foster my learning is to make sure everyone has a computer and knows how to use it because during class they can uses the computer to search up examples of a question or write there notes through a word doc. It would help me be professional because the kids would be able to write there note...

                                                          Blog Journal  8       After working on the web design it helped me learn new things and improve on some new skills. The best thing was that I was able to create my own page as if I had a class and that made the assignment very fun. A skill I mastered was making a hyperlink and making it open in a new window it took me a few tries but I ended up being a master at it.   http://gonzi55.weebly.com/    When it came to using Diigo one of the skills that I mastered was making annotations and learning how to add a note to the ending of the paragraph. Diigo showed me how to use google chrome and the other types of materials provided by google. It really showed me how to highlight information then move it and it already pastes into its own little chat box. ...

 Blog Journal 9          As a distanced learner this semester the experience has been alright because everything has been online. The learning is still there but it affects the teachers because they can not really teach a lesson online because some students may be doing something else due to the fact that some are not on camera. At first I felt very overwhelmed because I had a bunch of assignments and I did not know if I would miss a certain assignment. For the future I would make the classes very interesting by doing learning games and making the class fun due to the fact that I know most of my students stress about other classes and would not want to make them feel overwhelmed. Also showing the kids that I care about them and making my class seem fun but at the same time learning.            Educational resources can help a lot especially students and teachers because if a teacher ever needs some references om how to teach a ...
