The school website that I have chosen is my old school that I went to from Pre k to eighth grade. It is called Resurrection Catholic School. The website has not changed since I visited it back in middle school. There are some updates but it is mostly informational updates. There is even still a picture on it when I was in fifth grade. I think they need to do some updating. When you visit the teacher page it tells you all about their staff names and their emails.

I have never blogged in my life and I think it is pretty cool. Most of our blogs consist of writing how we feel and our opinion about a topic. I really like blogging now. I have learned to be more open and get creative and fun while writing the blog.

One of the new skills I acquired form the web evaluation assignment was getting familiar with making tables. When I used a table it was always in Excel and I think it is pretty cool that you can make tables in Microsoft word as well. Something that I can improve for next time is making a colorful table so it is not just plain and black and white. Check out my Web Evaluation Form below!

    Hi Kayla! That’s awesome that you’ve enjoyed blogging so much! It’s a great educational tool that I’ve really enjoyed using in high school and college, and I think it would be great to implement in a future classroom.Also, your web evaluation form looks great! It’s very detailed, yet provides a clear and concise way to evaluate websites for reliability. Great job!

    Hi Kayla! I like that you used a school website from one you actually attended! I agree they probably do need to do some updating, I looked up my high school's as well and they do too! It seems to be something that is not high on their priority list which is interesting to think about it. I feel the same about blogging though, I have really enjoyed it thus far! I also like your evaluation and how it clear and to the point!

Flipped classrooms are when the students read the material at home of the lesson. The teacher can give helpful YouTube links to give more information on the lesson if they need to. The students then come back into the classroom and apply the knowledge they learned. It helps students learn at their own pace and creates independent learners. In a traditional classroom, the teacher teaches lessons and then tests on their knowledge later. I am personally not a fan of flipped classrooms. I think it is for much older students like high school and college. I believe the traditional classroom should be left for K-8. The digital divide can affect students' success in school because they may not have access to the internet. Their internet maybe really slow and will take hours to watch a lecture video. The student may also not be very educated when it comes to using the skills of the computer.  Some of the causes are the cost of technology, lack of skills, lack of education, and access for ...

In my plan to use technology for professional development, I will make sure that the lesson I have planned for the day is filled with videos and interactive learning. I don't want to just stand and talk in front of the classroom. I want students to be engaged with technology as they are learning. When I am at a stopping point in my lesson I would like to use a smartboard and have students go up one by one and solve the problem or answer the questions. I also would like to include videos to help them understand what they are learning better. My favorite PowerPoint was using the nonlinear interactive PowerPoint. I made it very creative and used a Disney theme throughout my presentation. I used sounds every time you click if you get it right or wrong. One thing I would've liked to add is more information on nouns, verbs, and adjectives. As I am using PowerPoint, I realize that I am getting more creative with my PowerPoint skills. Below are my two powerpoints! Check out my ...

Throughout this course, I have learned many new skills. I loved learning everything. It was so beneficial to have this course. I will continue using the skills that I acquired in my future teaching career. I have always liked to take photos in my free time of nature. I would love to learn to edit the pictures so that maybe I can take pictures as a side job. Editing on my phone of the pictures I take isn't the best way. I would like to learn on my computer using different software. The only problem is the software is $200. I just need to spend the money and do it because I am very passionate about taking photos. I graduate soon and hopefully, afterwards, I can start learning how to edit photos. Check out my comments on Sierra and Margaux's blogs!
