Technology with Keeks!

Technology and Kiana don't go together.  From 2nd grade typing classes to college level blogging, technology has always been difficult.  What makes it so difficult?  Is it that fact that there's to many components to understand, or the fact that we don't want to take the time to actually learn these components?  I was always the kid who had a question in computer class.  " How do I go back to the other page?".  " How do change my font to the really pretty ones?".  " How do I turn on my computer?". ( All various examples of typical Keeks questions).  Thank heavens I started to pay more attention in computer class because technology has only gotten more advanced.  We use it to write essays, do research, search various problems that keep occurring with our Iphone, even to keep up with the latest Kardashian trends.  Technology surrounds us in so many ways yet most of us don't even know how to use it to the fullest.  Me personally, all I know how to do is type essays, and online shop.  But who needs to know any more!!

In this class I hope to be able to learn exactly how to use a computer.  Computers are only going to get more and more advanced.  The longer I wait to learn, the more behind I will be in the future.  I want this class to teach me how to better understand technology in order to help me achieve in my major.  With Kahoot, quizlet, and even brainpop, technology has always been there to help us learn.  Some of my favorite lessons were taught using online websites as opposed to lectures out of a book.  When times changes so does the way we teach/learn.  Its only natural to want to advance and better not only yourself but the community and people around you.  We can better ourselves by learning more about technology.  I want to be able to create fun power points, learn how to make my own website, maybe even make a major teaching blog! The possibilities are endless.  I'm so  excited to see where this classes takes me this year.

I've had a really good experience with twitter so far!  I have been able to keep up to date on what exactly is happen in the education world.  I see posts from Florida State, The county school district and basically anything I want to see.  Its nice using twitter because you have the optional to follow anyone you want.  For instance, if you are only interested in what's going on in Seminole county public schools ten you can just follow the Seminole county public school twitter.  I've learned that it is super easy to stay in the know when you have a twitter.  It helps you stay up to date on what's going on which is a huge benefit.  So far I've experienced no difficulties.  Its a super easy program to work and understand. The web page design project I super interesting.  I'm getting to learn how to do so many different things like designing and editing my own website.  It actually still in the works of being completed so I can't pos...

Technology and teacher professional development

I learnt that there are so many different websites that can help with professional development.  We were able to see websites that were specific to certain grades and some that were open to all grades.  Its amazing to see how many resources teachers, students, and even parents have. By viewing the bookmarks and annotations of others I was able to see all the different website that could be used for professional development.  Things such as linkedin, discovery education, even crayola.  There were a lot of opportunities for help that I may not have noticed if someone didn't comment on or bookmark them!
