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 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 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 1: Standards and Skills

     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. The dress code, for example, is to teach students that there is appropriate attire for specific times and places. 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...
