Educator's United

Here is my second ILP & is a very interesting presentation about certain parts of the world. I had lots of fun making this. I went into 2 continents: North America & Europe. I also talked about important figures & broke Europe down to East & West Europe.

Diggo has been an extremely useful tool because it has taught me many things such as how to bookmark & annotate a website. I can use it in the educational environment by creating an assignment where students all annotate the same resource while also being able to see their classmates thought which is like a pseudo discussion. I can use with with fellow teachers & team members by relaying & receiving resources that could better my profession. I can use it individually by annotating important resources that I find to better understand the content. Powerpoint can be used in various ways so to satisfy Bloom's Taxonomy. It can be used by the teacher to rekey information that students must  1.Remember,  which can include questions to guide & gauge student  2.Understanding . By assigning a powerpoint student must learn to  3.Apply  the information they learned &  4. Analyze  its intricacies which would lead them to...

I have learned so much from twitter when it comes to education such as legislation that deals with education that have been recently passed such as those incentivizing education in Florida. Twitter allows you to expand your PLN's very far as you can follow educators & see their thoughts right in the palm of your hand all on the same page. Twitter also allows you to effectively communicate with your community such as other educators & share your thoughts with them. I am not having any overbearing issues with twitter except with the constant display of unrelated tweets & ads that hinder my learning experience through twitters's network. I learned various skills from the web design assignments such as being able to be able to implement my creativity into a class website that engages students with information as well as their parents. I can improve on my assignment by being more elaborate with design to make the information more engaging & intuitive. I can use the...

I was very surprised of all the information I could find about Ms. M Clark's class (provided a link so you can see for yourself) by just visiting Benton's school teacher pages. She teaches both a history class mandatory for 8th graders & a geography class, which is an elective course. This was easily found in her syllabus for both classes which can be found on the "files" section of her page. On her main page, which is updated regularly, you can find important announcements like upcoming major assignment. She also provides a "calendar" page, where one can see all events & assignments & when they will take place or when they are due. Here is the home page which I took a screenshot of: I plan on using technology in my classroom in order to accomplish my professional responsibilities as sponsoring student engagement & effective learning as well as making sure both students are well-informed. In order to sponsor student engagement ...

In my EME 2040 class & we started using Diigo which I found to be very helpful when sharing articles with valuable information to both peers and friends. I like how you can highlight and add sticky notes to websites that can be seen by those in your group so they can see your thoughts. I also like that you can tag and categorize your articles so they're more organized when you want to access a certain topic in the future. I didn't dislike anything about Diigo except for that i had to re-download the extension every time i entered my class due to the computer reset. Blogging to me is very important when you want to display your ideas and have others opinions on the matter at hand. I like blogging because it forces me to acknowledge the information I have been provided which makes me remember it much more clearly. I've learned that blogging is a form of Web 2.0 in that it is much more participatory and less static. I also learned that blogging is a great form when enha...
