ILP “Participation” – Twitter Chat

Taking part in a twitter chat was very influential in my learning of the skills necessary to become an effective educator. There are so many questions people have that I didn't realize even existed. The twitter chat I participated in was "OK2ASK" & provided much needed information. There were people who even provided resources for different tasks. For example, some provided "Seesaw" which is a tool that can be used to foster parent engagement. There are many twitter chats that one can take part in & you can just scroll down the thread & look at others opinions & answers to various questions. I learned ways to foster parent engagement, the importance of student anwgaments & how to implant it in the classroom, as well as the importance of technology in the classroom that is being reinforced by my EME2040 class. Ive provided a way to access a voice thread if you want to hear more about my experience.

In online learning, internet resources are required because it seeks to supplement education with technology that relies on the internet.

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...
