Blog Journal 2

Being a sophomore in college I have used the MS Word plenty of times. I believe I started using word in middle school for scientific papers and all of that. So with all those years on me, you'd think I'd know a lot about this software but I actually do not know it too well. I do not know how most things work I just get my paper done and turn that in. I wish there were classes for students to teach them the basic needs for this program because in college I have seen that margins and footers and etc really are important for papers and I did not learn about this until senior year. I may be exaggerating a bit but the groove of this all is that schools do not teach these things in class and I would not mind being taught this. Amongst other things... like how to file taxes... Financial Aid.... You know....

Thankfully I have never been accused of copyright, I believe its just because I am too scared to completely copy something especially now that professors have websites like "Turnitin" and all of that. I have seen many of my peers who have been caught and in one instance was kicked out of the school for it. As a teacher, if this happened in my class with one of my students I wouldn't go to those measures. I would really like to sit down with that student and just try to understand why they would do that, see where we both can learn from that mistake and give that student a detention or something along those measures. If it happened other times and it continues then I'd take it to the principal and see it whatever fits him best. I don't believe that suspending a student works just because you're taking them away from their education and kicking them out completely doesn't help at all. That puts the family in a predicament that they probably are not ready to handle and once again puts the child out of school and no one needs that.

To prevent cyberbullying I really believe that going deep with this topic is the only way. Students not all but some pick on others, that has been something that has not changed. I feel like showing one another respect in the classroom and being open with everyone can go a long way. I would enforce a visual presentation on the impacts cyberbullying takes and really discuss with the students. And Freedom of speech, I honestly wish there was more of this in classes. Discussions would be much more open and versatile with different inputs and views of perspectives. It would teach one another hopefully how to listen and see things in a different way..

Adaptive technologies do not seclude students from using computers but rather make it easier for them to use it. Something that'll help them. All from braille use to organizers and overall just make computing easier for students, making the matter easier to all students. Braille keyboards would be perfect to have in any and if in all schools because there are students who are legally blind! I have never had to use adaptive technologies for school, not any that I can think of off the top of my head at least. I have seen some applications been used at my internship where the teacher gives a laptop to some students and also headphones because they have ADD and the headphones help them focus on the material better. To insure that I try and get all my students no matter  what I would utilize power points many tools to explain the Bloom's Taxonomy. First I would start with having the power point be interactive, therefore the students HAVE to listen because it will not move to the s...

Finding a website for this blog was not hard because I intern at a elementary school. The website is Florida State University Schools. This website is extremely detailed because it basically is a elementary, middle, and high school. With that, there were so many pages open to the public and even had merchandise to buy from the high school. Since I interned with elementary I ended up looking at their website and it was very useful, they had tabs that allowed me to find the teachers in every certain grade, subject and building. There is a login tab but without that you have a various amount of access. I envision myself using technology a lot actually when I become a teacher. How could I not? The world is becoming more tech savvy and who am I to not learn about this and not educate my students with it. I feel like we as future educators have a purpose to teach our students everything and everything to become a good civilian and someone that can maintain with the century. I would lov...

The flipped classroom is a classroom that has its teacher send out lecture videos for homework and so time spent in the classroom is open for discussion and active learning of the lecture. Going further in depth and having the students in multiple discussion to capture their true knowledge of what was discussed in the video that was sent home for homework. Which is honestly something that happens in college, I actually like it and it gives me the space and time to talk to my professor and actually learn what was being taught beforehand... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzMFdDT6FSA  https://library.educause.edu/topics/teaching-and-learning/open-educational-resources-oer Open education is about making it open to audience. Open content, means the teacher is doing his or her job in ensuring that they get their material through anyway of means as long as it is teachable. Working with power point was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed learning how to make power points interactive...
