Journal 8

   From working on my web design assignment i learned useful skills for creating a real class website. I liked how Weebly made it easy to create a well organized page with the predesigned templates. At times the spacers were a bit confusing because i have never seen that anywhere else. Overall i enjoyed the web design assignment. 
   From using Digo i have learned that it is not as complicated as it was seeming to be at first. It could be useful in my future classroom to save sites that i intend to go back to or use in the future. It could be useful to use with teammates to make a group for sharing resources. In this class for my personal use it is helpful to save websites. 
   As a teacher it is important to stay up to date in technology. They need to be up to date with what the students are used to. The link provided is a useful blog that has updates about technology helpful in a classroom. It allows for fellow teachers to discuss the topic.

    Hello Hannah! Your website is beautifully designed, and I absolutely love it! I enjoy how uniform everything feels, and I like that it feels nice to be on. It is very pretty. I will probably end up using it for the Website Review portfolio assignment!
    I also had some issues with spacers, and I did not like how Weebly would sometimes organize the page against my will.
    Diigo could be useful for these things, but these features are either for very specific situations or already have better alternatives built into our browsers. We can bookmark websites we want to return to, and organize those bookmarks. As for sharing resources with a team, how often will this occur? Does having everyone sign up for a Diigo account make it easier? I struggle to find ways that it will be a valuable day to day online tool.
    We absolutely need to stay up to date on technology. We are the ones who need to learn how to apply it, that way our students get the most out of our education.
    I enjoyed reading your blog! Have a wonderful day!

    Hi Hannah, your website looks amazing! The way you designed it allows for your students to easily navigate between pages and view the information that you have put there for them. I especially liked the way you designed the resources page because while it is simple, it is very effective. Everything needed is right on that page with a short, clear description of what each resource is to be used for. Great job!

      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...
