     To find a teachers website page I went to my old high school's website to see if they had anything like this for their teachers because I did not remember them having a website. I did find though, that they have on their website a picture of every teacher and a link with their name that connects you to a page with their information on it. There was not much on their other than, their name, subject they taught, and their email. I picked a foreign language teacher for all grades.

     I do not plan to use a lot of technology to teach with in my class, however, I do plan on using technology to keep up with my responsibilities as a teacher. I hope to have a website or page I can upload daily work and/or homework for my students to be able to keep up with things. Also, having something like this for my students to check will help eliminate time taking to students in class if they missed a day of class and need to know what the assignment was. I  do not plan to use social media or any apps to keep up with my students or their parents at all. I will though, be available for them to reach me by email. I feel that  email would be the best way to keep up with parents and it keeps everything professional. I will also use technology to keep grades, lessons, power-points, etc. this will help me reduce paper objects and keep everything neat and in one area.  
I was unable to be in class last week due to car troubles and could not attend the sandbox tour, unfortunately.

   I have used Microsoft (MS) Word for many years now, I use it daily just about. I mostly use it to write papers and use notes; though, sometimes for miscellaneous things that are not related to school, which is not that usual. Without MS Word, college would have been very different and I would not have been able to get papers done, notes takes, or turned in paper on many software devices that check for plagiarism. Though I believe students probably use MS Word than teachers and professors, I still have plenty of teacher that use it often. I have seen all my professors use it, most commonly for syllabi. However, some professors of mine have also used it to write tests, make the calender's for the semester, and posting homework assignments.    I do not have tons of experiences with copyrights and fair use, I was unaware of how much went into it until reading Best Practices for Fair Use in Media Literacy. Now that I understand copyright issues and fair use of materia...

   Something that influences teachers to use technology in the classroom is so that it makes their life easier, keeping things, such as lesson plans, organized and in one place. It is much easier to keep all their information in one place and there are many sites on the web that teachers can use for free to keep their lessons plans together and see other teachers lessons plans, as well. It is also beneficial for them to use technology in the classroom because it is strongly encouraged by the government and standards they give teachers. For students, however, technology in the classroom is influenced by other reasons. Most students will be accustomed technology and interested in it, so it is a way gain interest in subject matter. Also, learning styles can vary between students and some students learning style may benefit more from more technology used in the classroom.    The ISTE, is the International Society for Technology in Education, it is a federally funded ini...

Today is about the Web 2.0 tools and what are not allowed in classroom. We were assigned to listen to a podcast about the issue and write about which one we would have liked to use and why some of the tools are no longer allowed; however, i was not able to open up the podcast and could not find it online.      I did some research online about Web 2.0 tools since the podcast link was not working and I found a tool that I like and might use in my future classroom. It's a mapping tool called, Popplet and it allows students to work and collaborate with other students. This could be very helpful in my future classroom, since I am teaching a foreign language, this could help my students work together and figure out how to do their homework and help them remember words and grammar.   https://teaching.pitt.edu/blog/web-2-0-tools-in-teaching-and-learning/      I believe the biggest technology advancement we have made is "t he SynergyNet project funded by the...
