  • I feel most prepared on teaching the ELA technology standards for 7th grade. This is due to me having experience with most of the skills identified such as using diverse media to reinforce a presentation, argument, or evidence. I also had the advantage of learning some of these skills such as making and finding blogs in my EME2040 class that I am currently attending in my Freshman year a Florida State University. The 11-12th grade ELA technology standards are the ones I feel I still need to work on as this is the desired grade I wish to teach. I struggle on these as they are influenced heavily on design which I feel I still need to work on.
  • CPALMS has many tools that all educators around the world should use. One tool that it provides which is extremely helpful is the Curriculum Planner, also known as CMAP. This tool not only helps educators create lesson plans but also provide many helpful resources that educators could use in their classrooms. It also arranges lesson plans on grade, subject, & course which makes it both easy & time effective for teachers to construct lesson guides for upcoming classes.
  • I was my duty to create a Newsletter for my EME2040 class & this assignment proved to be more difficult than I thought. I learned many things such as how to split my paper into columns & how to create a continuous break in order to format a single page two different ways. This can be very helpful when I want to send out informational home with students in hopes that it keeps parents fairly informed about the classroom as well as their student's responsibilities throughout my class. I felt as if I needed to work on my designing capabilities so I can make newsletters more readable & attractive but I Liked that I managed to display a banner while also creating a header that looked very appealing. I also really liked the font that I chose which made my newsletter more kept & nice. Here's a screenshot so you can see how it looks.

Online and Distance Learning

Distance learning is a method of teaching where there is no in-person interaction and today this usually conducted over the internet which brings up online learning. Online learning is simply the use of educational tools to supplement learning. Nearly all distance learning comes in the form of online learning but not all online learning environments are also considered distance learning. This is because many educators blend online learning resources (Khan Academy) into their actual classrooms which involve in-person interactions. Tools being used in distance learning vary as long they accommodate a form of correspondence. Today the most common form is the internet through emails or even conferences. In online learning, internet resources are required because it seeks to supplement education with technology that relies on the internet. Teachers in both online and distance learning require skills in navigating the online world.

Blog Journal #2

I'm sure anyone that's reading this post, at some point used Microsoft Word to make an essay for some reason either scholastically or not. Personally, I mainly used word to forge essays that were do in school. Never, have I used MS Word in a creative manner because if I needed to make a presentation, I would just use Microsoft PowerPoint. It wasn't until my EME2040 class in college that I would have to create a newsletter which was very new to me because I lacked the skills for design in word. My educators throughout my schooling never really showed me how to use word in different modes or ways. The most different thing i saw were lesson plans but those weren't unique, they were all nearly the same as if they all shared a template. My experience with copyrights and fair use of materials was taken very seriously except when it came to pictures. We could use any picture we found online for presentation and it wasn't until college that I found out one must attribute i...
