Blog Journal #3

The standard I chose was from Computer Science (Starting 2025-2026), specifically Grade 3: Strand SC.3.CC: Communication and Collaboration, Standard 2 SC.3.CC.2 : Identify uses of technology and responsible uses of modern communication. Within this standard includes how to use technology to send communication. I see this in the form of parent teacher digital newsletters, weekly emails to the parents, and pop up announcements in the students digital learning platform. Based on my current skill set I would feel comfortable implementing this standard and feel that I can implement the standard well in the classroom.  In the CPALMS, I selected a third grade science resource tool, titled “Words of Science”. I believe this resource can be used in my teaching by helping by showcasing a video on my class's smart board connected to my in person instruction furthering the understanding of the material for the students. For science lessons specifically the resource tool offers a variety of dif...

  A paragraph about your experience using MS Word as a student (both in K-12 and at FSU). Do you prefer another word processing software (e.g., Google Docs or Pages)? If so, why do you prefer to use this word processing software?

I even took a class on how to use the program in high school. I personally have a good experience with the program and it helps me with many formatting exercises or formal assignments. I do however though, prefer Google Docs simply due to the user friendliness of the platform and in that the work can be saved across multiple devices easier.  A paragraph about the   ISTE Standards for Educators  (Links to an external site.) . Select the standard that is most meaningful to you.  Have you learned anything new about it? Are there any lingering questions, concerns, or ideas? Feel free to share your re...

  1 paragraph about what you hope to learn in this class and how you will apply it in the future. I am very excited to take this course, as technology is something we use everyday in our lives and can always be improved upon in how we use it as a resource. Something in particular I am looking forward to in this course is going over presentation skills. I feel that making presentations is something I will have to be very comfortable with in my career so knowing how to go about doing that the right way is important. Also, I am looking forward to looking more into how to use social media to engage with students, I feel this will help in the future with knowing how to connect learning material to what students may want to engage with the most to retain material being taught.  1 paragraph about your prior experiences using technology in an educational setting My prior technology usage in an educational setting can be most seen when I had to teach my high school's Freshman and Sopho...
