Kadi's Educational Tehcnology Journey

     Microsoft Word has become a standard in education. Once we stopped learning how to physically write, we began learning how to well, write. For the sake of convenience, we started being required to type out our writing assignments so our teachers could actually read them. Once we started writing longer papers, we started learning how to format them. Until college, I only really used Word for English assignments, however, in my Academic Success class that I took last year, we learned a few ways to use it as a study tool for other classes as well. I find that in my college classes, quite a few teachers use Word documents for their lectures and a lot of teachers and professors I've had use it to write their quizzes and exams.      Something that we also learn about as we write lengthier papers on Word is Copyright. It has been ingrained into our brains to never ever plagiarize anything since elementary school. We first learned about plagiarism as copying ...

     Simply put, technology is just everywhere. Most jobs require that you have at least a phone number and email address which requires that you have at least some knowledge of how to use technology. Our education is supposed to prepare us for the adult world and getting a job, so it’s not surprise that technology is so prevalent in classrooms. Another reason technology is great for education is that it is convenient and can be fun, which engages students.       When being prepared for the future, there are many practical things we are taught in school.

One of the ISTE Standards for Students is “Digital Citizen.” This standard deals with acknowledging the privilege and responsibility of living in this digital age. It is a responsibility of the student to understand the permanence of their actions online and to continue online legally a...

    Hello there, my name is Kadi(that's pronounced like Katie). I am in my second full year of college and am currently studying Creative Writing. I was born in Southern California and moved to Florida for my high school career, and eventually, my college career. I am the youngest of four children and my family is spread across the country like butter on a piece of toast at this point. I eventually hope to write for mainstream news outlets someday, but teaching English has always been an option at the back of my mind.     I have always had a more positive experience with the educators I have been blessed with throughout my life, maybe that is because I somehow understand them on a different level, and perhaps in some cases, they knew how to get me engaged in the content. I remember the first history class where I actually felt interested in the content that I was being taught. My sophomore year of high school I took World History with the most amazing history teac...
