 My Experience with MS Word:

    I have personally spent a great deal of time working with MS Word and have found that it is my go to resource for any kind of writing based need or assignment. I have used MS Word at least once a day ever since I started my college career at TCC and continued to have used it consistently in my time at FSU. For me, while MS Word has a lot of customization options, it is simple to understand and use and has consistently worked well for me. I have used MS Word since Middle school and am still using it in my Junior year of College.

The ISTE Standards for Educators:

    It was interesting to learn about the ISTE Standards for Educators and what they all meant. Personally I feel the most meaningful standard is that of the Leader. For me I have always done best in a class when an instructor is willing to work with their students to find what best works for them in regards to how they learn. It is, if I ever teach, how I want to work in a classroom of my own, so that my students can feel as if they are learning at an equal rate to one another.

Digital Native: Agree or Disagree?

    Personally I do not agree with the labeling of today's youth as digital natives. Calling someone a digital native carries on the assumption that this person can do all sorts of things involving technology due to them being born in a time when technology is a huge factor of our daily lives. While I could be classified as a digital native, I don't know as many things about the technology around me as the digital immigrants, as they have had to adapt into working with technology, we still have to learn how to use tech. I use most of my technologies for recreational use and for submitting school work for college, while my teachers who are digital immigrants use them for setting up our assignments, researching, etc. much more than what I use it for.

Badges:

    My thoughts on the badges are they seem interesting? I have never earned them before in any degree. While I don't think anything positive or negative about them, I don't see how they can hurt. However it feels like something you would do to get more excuse tokens rather than for the developing of knowledge.

    I agree with your take on the badges. They can be helpful in the right circumstances, but most circumstances that we would do them in aren't good ones. Badges could, however, end up offering more specific details on ideas we start expanding on briefly in class.

 Experience Using Twitter:     Personally, I have never liked Twitter, and I have never had the desire to use it. My first and only personal experience on Twitter has been this class as it is a required part of it. I fully intend on deleting my account after the fact. I do not find Twitter beneficial whatsoever and I don't see how it will help me in my future career, I was ok with trying it for this class, but I just don't see the point in it. The Digital Divide:     The digital divide definitely effects those who don't have access to the proper technology more than those who have it, if they are affected at all, as they cannot access certain key resources or even assignments. If students right now at FSU don't have access to a computer or phone to reach CANVAS then they can't even access their assignments. In regards to classroom experience as an educator, I will most likely encounter students of a lower income household who wont have access to technology....

 Information about me:     Hi I guess, my name is Daniel. I am, or strive to be, a very empathetic and kind person in any sort of way I feasibly can. I have a great love of fictional writing, poetry, and all around anything that can help me have an escape from this worlds constant conflicts and problems. Last year I went through all sorts of difficult events to deal with, my Grandfather dying, my dog dying, and me being diagnosed with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), to name a few, 2021 was most certainly a difficult year for a lot of folks so I hope this year will be better. Something I personally believe in is that, the only times we make a true mistake is when we don't learn something from it. I am a very introverted person so I don't exactly interact with people much, besides those I am close to, to the point where I feel like I might even be afraid of social interaction, I honestly don't know. Anyway here I am I'm a nerd and a Creative Writing Major who's scar...
