Blog #6

Many schools require teachers to maintain a class website. On their website they usually include basic information like their name and any updates on class assignments. These websites also usually include a welcoming page and a quick description about the teacher. The website might also include links to other helpful resources that help students. On Google, I searched elementary school class websites and viewed a couple of them. Many of them shared the same basic information. They were all appealing to look at too. They each had multiple tabs. One tab was a welcome tab which included basic information like the teachers name and the grade level. Many of them also included a helpful resources tab and a homework tab. For example I found a class website from a teacher from Dallin Elementary School.The link is http://missfish2ndgrade.weebly.com/. This is a class website from a second grade teacher named Miss. Fish. Her website includes many organized tabs. She has a home, homework, helpful information, literacy links, social studies, science, and math tabs. She also has basic information about what time classes end, what dates there are no school, and upcoming assignments. Many class websites share the same useful and basic information. 


 As a teacher, I hope to use technology in my classroom. I believe technology improves our education. Technology provides students and teachers with access to the internet. The internet provides us with many resources that we can access quickly. For example, in my classroom I would have my students access their textbooks online because it is quicker and easier and it saves the environment. In my classroom, I will also try to use a smartboard because it is a fun and interactive way to teach my students a lesson. I would also like for all my students to have Ipads or laptops so we can engage with educational websites and keep communicating easy with each other. I will also have my students do all their assignments on their laptop so it makes class more effective. 

 Today I visited the Technology Sandbox. I was able to see so many new technologies that can be utilized in the classroom. The coolest thing I saw was the virtual reality. I really enjoyed playing around with it! In my classroom I would like to have the 3D printer. The printer prints objects in 3D, which would make is super fun and easy to learn subjects like science. I could have my students print out 3D images of the brain or body parts to make it fun and easy to learn the body system. The students will also be more encouraged to learn and I will have so much fun teaching using it!

ILP #1 "Participation"

For my independent learning project, I decided to do a Lynda.com. I accessed this by going onto my fsu.edu and in the resources tab I found Lynda.com. This website is a learning platform that helps individuals learn business, software, technology, and creative skills to achieve personal and professional goals. It includes a library of videos and tutorials of top-quality courses taught by industry experts. The tutorials also come in many languages and there are tutorials for everyone! I really enjoyed using Lynda.com and I encourage anyone to use it. They have such a variety of tutorials and subjects that everyone can find something they are interested in! After looking through all the courses that lynda.com offers, I decided i wanted to improve my skills in Microsoft Word. There were many other options in every subject you can think of.  I choose the tutorial called "master Microsoft word." There were so many categories of different things to learn. I learned how to format ...

Blog Post #7

I have been using Twitter for many years, but I have been using it in my EME class for about 10 weeks. When I first started using Twitter I had no idea how to use it. I only made a Twitter because all of my friends had one and I felt left out. I just uploaded and profile picture and made a username. I had no followers and I did not follow anyone. I did not know how to use hashtags or know what hashtags were used for. I didn’t even know how to follow my friends or gain followers. Once my friends taught me how to follow others, the app became more fun. My friends taught me how to retweet. I would tweet and retweet everything. I would tweet everything I was doing and tweet about who I am with. I would also post pictures with friends. I would usually only retweet funny tweets from my friends or cute pictures of puppies. Many people use Twitter to just update others what they are doing and who they are with. But some individuals use it to tweet about all their opinions on different subje...

Hello! My name is Aneli Urrutia. I am currently a freshman studying at Florida State University. I just changed my major form nursing to special education. My parents are from Cuba but I was born in Miami. I speak Spanish. I have lived in Weston, Florida my whole life. Since I grew up in south Florida, I learned to love the beach. I love to go to the beach to get tan and relax. It is a great stress reliever. I also really love animals. I have three dogs. I have two chihuahuas and a doberman pinscher. In educational settings, I personally have not used much technology. I have experience using my phone, laptops, computers, and IPads from school, but that's really it. I have seen my teachers use technology during my educational experiences. I have seen teachers use smart-boards and overhead projectors, but I have never used them myself. I have also had teachers use the same technology I have like laptops and televisions.  From this class I hope to learn more about technology i...
