Journal #4

   I chose to explore fourth grade standards and the one I chose was "Paraphrase portions of a text read aloud or information presented in diverse media and formats, including visually, quantitatively, and orally.". This standard to me means to be able to be able to process and understand things audibly and thoroughly understand various forms of presentation. I am aware that I would not be able to effectively implement this standard with my current skill set, because I have no teaching experience. With that being said, I am confident that I will one day be able to implement this standard after I have gone through teaching training. 
   I chose a fourth grade science resource. The resource I chose is an activity in which students learn about the properties of various minerals. The activity entails having students analyze/identify the properties of various minerals including hardness, luster, color, and cleavage and then construct a model of the ranking in which would be best for making a necklace. I would use this activity in my classroom because I find visuals to be very effective for retaining information, and I think that students would have fun doing it. 
   It is important to be a proficient internet searcher as a teacher because it is important to keep your teaching methods fresh and continue to use different things to keep students interested, which the internet can help with. It is also useful as a teacher so that you can answer students questions that you might not know the answer to off the top of your head. I think one of the most useful resources as a teacher would be the CPALMS, i think I would use that a lot as a teacher. I think this because it has a wide range of resources from standards to planning tools.

      I have used Microsoft Word in my schooling for as long as I can remember. My freshmen year of  high school I actually received a certification in it, as well as some other Office 365 programs. I like Microsoft Word because it is easy to use and has always worked for me. I have used Google Docs before but I much prefer Microsoft Word. I don't quite have a reason for liking it more other than familiarity since I have been using it for so long.      The ISTE standard that is most meaningful to me is " Model and nurture creativity and creative expression to communicate ideas, knowledge or connections.". This standard to me means to allow for and encourage creativity in students in all aspects of their learning. I see this standard as important because  I  feel that in K-12 learning it is important for the student to be allowed creativity because even though they are all being taught the same thing they should learn individual...

     I got a Twitter account around 2018 . At the time I mostly used it to keep up with celebrities and friends. I have also found that Twitter is a good place to hear about current events, though they should always be fact checked with a more reliable source.  Twitter might be helpful in my future career because  it  would allow me to connect with and share ideas  with other teachers. This would be good to keep my teaching fresh and fun.         I believe that the digital divide can  affect  a student's success in school. Those who  do not have access to the technology and internet as other students do can be put at a  disadvantage .  Some causes of the digital divide may include economic status,  geographic location, or lack of motivation to learn how to use technology. I might use programs like Kahoot in my classroom  and the digital divide might affect how often I use online programs becau...

    My name is Hannah Perake s. I am a  freshman  at Florida State  University, and I am majoring in Elementary Education. In the future I would like to be an elementary school teacher.   For a long time, I wanted to be a psychologist but in the last few years I realized that I wanted to be a teacher.      My whole schooling experience I have used technology. In elementary school I remember the teachers using Smart Boards and they had laptop carts that we would  occasionally  use.  In middle school we did most of our tests and work on laptops. In high school I used a lot of different kinds of technology, especially when quarantine started.  We went fully online and used programs such as Google Classroom and Zoom.       I regularly use multiple resources to support my learning needs and goals.  Something I use to memorize things for classes is Quizlet. I use the calendar app on my phone as...
