ILP #2

Below is a link to my VoiceThread for my ILP #2. For this ILP I completed the design portion of the assignment and created my own Cahoot quiz for an upper level writing course, reviewing the PowerPoint I created for my first PowerPoint assignment.

Blog Journal 2: Originality in Writing

     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 ...

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 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...
