ISTE Digital Citizen Resource

This short article discusses the downfalls of a few content creators on YouTube whose careers were ruined after choosing to post content that was not appropriate or was offensive in some way. This list is just of YouTubers whose videos caused outrage, and not YouTubers whose careers were ruined by tweets from the past. This list shows just how important it is for everyone on the internet to really think through what they put on the internet and how they present themselves online.

    I love this article! I definitely think that it's important to explain to our students about the risks in posting our entire lives on the internet. Especially since these kids are growing up as "digital natives" and are constantly online.

Blog Journal 5

     Diigo, the social bookmarking tool, was introduced to us these past few weeks and so far, it is pretty awesome. I really like that we can be in groups and share websites and article we find related to a similar topic or even just for friends. Being able to share things and go back to them later on in one place is so convenient versus my 500+ notes on my phone with random links to things I saw online at some point and forgot about by the next hour. The annotating and highlighting feature is probably my favorite feature since the Diigo website shows you all of the parts you highlighted so you can remember exactly what you wanted to and not have to sit through entire articles again. I really wish that more people and groups in my life used this tool. I might have my mom download it after I show her how to download Google Chrome to her computer.      Since I already have some experience blogging from previous attempts at self-care and to just try to docum...

Blog Journal 6: Teacher Websites

     Technology is becoming more and more intwined with education. Ever since I can remember and since I had access to a computer, my teachers have had websites online. This online engagement transitioned from pages on the school website to classes on Canvas and Blackboard. One example that I found from my elementary school is from my 2rd grade teacher. She teaches at James H. Cox Elementary School which runs from Kindergarten through Fifth grade. Other schools in the district go up to Sixth grade as well. She now teaches 3rd grade as clarified in her bio on the website. She includes things like weekly homework assignments and announcements online so that if a student loses any papers or a parent wants to check what work their student has for the week, it is easily accessible online. She also includes school supplies that are needed for the class, academic resources, the vocabulary for the unit they are on, and more. Each page of her website has a cute graphic that is vi...

Blog Journal 3: ELA Standards

     This week we discussed ELA standards and explored the different standards for different school levels. I decided to explore the 11th and 12th grade standards further since that would hopefully be the classes I would teach if I were to decide to follow this career path. Overall, the standards seem familiar, which is to be expected since I was in classes that utilized these standards less than two years ago. I would say I feel most prepared to teach students the skills to meet standard LAFS.1112.W.1.2, which focuses on writing informative texts to discuss complex ideas, essentially. I feel most prepared to teach this standard because I spent most of my time during my Junior and Senior year of high school learning how to write scripts for and produce a daily news show. The reason this really helped prepare me to teach this standard is the fact that producing a daily broadcast that does not eat into the school's class time requires me to pick and choose exactly what info...
