EME2040 Blog For Class

 Diigo Thoughts:     My initial experience I guess was just like everyone else's experience? I didn't really think much of it besides you know needing to use it to complete the portfolio options. I think in a person's hands who is more competent in online navigation, because I am not good at it, this would be a great tool. Apart from that it seems like a useful tool for people who understand how to use it. Blog Experience:     Blogging has been an ok way to get some of my thoughts out. I don't dislike it however don't really see how it would help in a teaching setting? Same thing with Twitter and some of the other things we have gone over. This is probably because I haven't seen the bigger picture or something. However these are just my thoughts on it, I am not writing these things off or anything. Web 2.0:     I don't really know of any tools I would use in teaching? As stated above I can't really connect the dots here really well as to the connection...

 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.

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....

Select a Standard:      For the Fourth Grade, one standard says "Make connections between the text of a story or drama and a visual or oral presentation of the text, identifying where each version reflects specific descriptions and directions in the text." What I believe this means, is that you must make sure you make a connection between whatever text of a story you are presenting and a visual/oral presentation. Like comparing a book to its movie counterpart. I believe I could probably be able to do this, maybe? CPALMS:     The resource I found was on the formal and informal "You". Which basically talks about how to learn when to speak in a formal or informal way and when you should talk as either. I would probably use this in my classroom. Whether or not it would work out well with me I don't know. Internet Search:     It is important to be proficient in searching as a teacher, due to the fact that you will need to make sure you are able find credibl...
