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.

Resource Critique Activity

I decided to research 4th grade work!  I came across standard   LAFS.4.RI.3.7.  This standard is all about interpreting information not presented necessarily in a traditional way.  It shows information in terms of charts, diagrams, interactive videos etc.  We use these tools so we can then compare to our text information and see exactly how it has helped us arrive to our answer.  I chose to study an example of an activity.  Its labeled as c.014 comprehension, expository text structure and text feature find.  The purpose of the activity is almost like a scavenger hunt.  You will need a book and the worksheet.  The worksheet is set up as a chart and has different things it wants you to look for.  You then go into the book and search for each example and then right yes or no in the chart if you found it.  The examples range from bar charts, to table of content, and even a glossary.  Its suppose to help you familiarize yoursel...

Journal 9

The " Flipped Classroom" is a very interesting and useful concept for students of all ages.  It allows students to watch videos to help prepare them for class the following day.  Class will then be spent answering any questions you may have pertaining to the video.  This allows students to learn not only from the teacher but also another source.  It limits the amount of talking the teacher has to do and allows for more questions to be asked.  It also allows for more classroom time to be used for more productive things.  Its a very cool because teachers have a choice between using videos from an already given site such as khan academy or, make there own videos.  A teacher is able to personalize these videos for his or her teaching them exactly what they want to teach them as appose to them retaining information they don't need to know.  This is also a great thing for students who miss class because it allows them to stay up to date without being th...
