Journal 7

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 post the link but stay tuned for the link coming very soon.  I like the program im using to make the website however it can be confusing at some points.  I would need to make sure I stayed focus when doing this project because if you don't pay attention then you can get lost very easily.  This is a great tool for a future career because it can help you make a website for your own company.  It can be as simple as a magazine website or as complex as an insurance companies website.  The possibilities are endless with this program!  If you want to make your own website than check out the link below and keep up to date with my blog to see the launch of my website on Friday.

In class we started working with this program called Diigo.  Diigo allows you to bookmark websites and apply annotations and highlight different sections.  Its a really good program because it allows you to go back and see exactly what you have saved throughout the week or even year.  This could be very useful in classrooms or in a professional setting because it allows you to save ideas.  Sometimes you come across things that can be very useful but not in that moment.  This program allows you to save it anyways so when you do need it its already there.  This program could be a life saver for very forgetful people.

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...

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...
