Journal 3

 The ELA standards are very important.  The one I would be most able to teach would probably be multimedia. math, history, and science have never really been my strong suit.  I actually struggled with it a lot in high school.  Teaching with more literature and a reading would definitely give me an advantage.  Having a background on the knowledge always helps and it also allows me to better answer question from students.  Its easier to learn more about a subject you like than a subject you don't.
I would love to use Wiki with my students.  " A wiki results in a searchable, free, and dynamic collection of information".  Wiki allows you to look at different articles for research purposes.  Its a site used by many people now a days.  I feel that wiki would be most popular in a middle school aged group.  During middle school we are assigned more research projects and papers.  They are trying to get us to learn exactly how to do research.  Because of that we almost always end up on wiki.  It gives us detailed information about a person place or thing.  Sometimes you can't believe everything you read because just the anything, your responses can be altered on the internet but for the most part it is generally reliable.  When it comes to using computers we need to make sure we focus on digital citizenship.  We need to teach our students to not post false information on the internet and to always report any forms of cyberbullying.  We want to make the usage of technology as safe as possible and a big part of that responsibility relies on the teacher.
The newsletter design assignment was super cool.  As a student who hopes to be teaching elementary school, these newsletters are so popular.  It helps keep parents up to date on whats going on in the classroom and also helps you as a teacher stay on track and organized.  With this newsletter I learned how to make borders, use a textbook, make a fun font. and even add pictures.  I would love to learn more about makings these newsletters and maybe even making it a little more intricate next time!  I can't wait to be making this one day for my own classroom!!

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...

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...
