Autumn S. EME 2019 Spring

As a student, I've used Microsoft Word as a tool to write papers and do research papers.  I've used it for almost every essay I've been assigned to write in school.  The spellcheck and grammar check features have allowed my writing to be more free of errors than it would be if I just hand wrote everything.  My teachers in the past have used Microsoft Word for rubrics or assignment instructions.  They also used it to create tests and quizzes. In order to avoid copyright issues I have cited my sources in the past through bibliographies and links.  I also don't copy information word for word from sources that I use.  As a teacher I will probably use Turnitin in order to make sure that my students don't copy.  I will also require them to cite their sources. A solution to Cyber bullying in schools would be to allow students to report it anonymously.  A solution to privacy issues would be to add passwords to student's accounts and then make their ac...

Technology is constantly changing.  In order for students to be successful in their future careers and in society, they must stay up to date with new tools.  Technology is also faster and more efficient than out dated tools.  For example, a PowerPoint is better than just writing on a chalk board.  This is because a PowerPoint uses visuals, links, videos, and it is easier to read.  Furthermore, technology makes learning easier. One ISTE standard that is meaningful to me is "Global Collaborator".  The world is becoming increasingly globalized and it's important for students to pay attention to the news, and open their minds up to new viewpoints.  One standard that seems outside my skill set is "Creative Communicator".  There are still some platforms that I don't know how to use.  Therefore, my options for communicating are not super broad. A "digital native" is someone that has grown up using technology.  I have seen differences in how...

    I am a freshman at Florida State University and I am majoring in social science education.  I love history and music.  I also like to run and travel.  I am comfortable with sharing on the internet.     I took an introduction to technology class in high school and was certified in excel and Dreamweaver.  I also took a typing class in middle school.  I know how to use Microsoft, canvas, and social media apps.  I know how to make PowerPoints.     I want to learn more about creating websites in this class.  I also want to learn more about excel.  I am used to Microsoft and not Apple computers so I would like to learn more about Macbooks.  As a future teacher, it's important to know about all the technology tools that are out there.
