Out of all
the ELA technology standards, the standard I feel the most comfortable with and
prepared to tech with my previous knowledge is the tech standard called L.5
“Vocabulary: Use of Context Clues”. This standard is basically finding the
meaning of a word or the multiple meanings of a word using context clues, using
online or print dictionaries, and glossaries, and finding the meaning of
different words and phrases. This tech standard teaches you how to find these
things online and the different web and content areas you could use. I think I
would be more comfortable teaching this standard out of all of them because I
use this standard pretty much on a daily basis. I used it all throughout high
school when I would need to know the meaning of worms for vocabulary quizzes
and I still use it today when I don’t know the meaning of words I come across.
The tech standard that I am the least comfortable with is the standard W/WHST.8 “Use Multiple Sources”. This standard teaches you to get information from different sources and data bases and decided whether or not they are credible and accurate, and it also teaches you how to avoid plagiarism. Even though I have prior experience with this standard, I still struggle with it and could use a lot more help when determine the credibility or a source and how to appropriately give someone credit when I use their ideas. I have not really had much trouble with plagiarism but there is still more I could learn.
I also think the standard SL.5 “Use Digital Media” is something I need to learn more about. This standard teaches you to use digital media, visual, and audio recording to show information. I have some experience making power points and adding images and audio to them, however I still need to learn more on how to properly add them to my presentation and find images or music that isn’t copy right.

I plan to be
a kindergarten teacher so the age range of my students should be from about
5-6. The technology I would like to use
in my classroom would be computers or tablets. When I did my Field experience
at Florida State University Schools, every student, grades k-12 had a chrome
book. Having the laptop allowed the students to work with each other on group
work using google docs. The children also played educational games online ,
submitted work, and also learned how to use Microsoft offices tools such as
word and power point. The students in Kindergarten knew how to work the
computer and search the web way better than I did. I’ve saw with my own niece
that using technology helps students learn and be more engaged in
learning.
I would like my students to be able to browse the internet to find websites or information for projects and use email to communicate with me and the other students. I also would like to use discussion boards with my students, my Lit professor uses them a lot for our class and they are really helpful to me because i can get feedback from my peers and help when I don't understand something. I don't think I would need to use mailing list or chats with my students since I plan to teach kindergarten, however if they were older I would possibly use those two applications. I would like for my students to use the internet so I would most definitely need to teach them the web basics, such as tools and how to navigate the web. I also think my students would enjoy using blog because it'll give them a chance to voice their opinions, or express themselves.
Learning how to use graphic media would be great for my students to learn. I would love for them to be able to make little presentations or projects to show the class, using images and audio. I think they would really enjoy working with web based media. The application I would use the most in my class is Learning management systems. LMS are virtual classrooms that offer teaching and learning components. I know I enjoyed using LMS when I was younger because it made learning so much fun. I don't plan to use social media in my classroom. 1. My students are way too young. 2. Social media is VERY distracting. I enjoy using social media myself, but it also makes me have a hard time focusing on my work.
Since technology is expanding its important to teach students all the digital citizenship concepts. I think the guidelines need to be taught more specifically and in depth as you get older but since I’m doing age 5-6 I think I definitely should tech my students the guideline how to be aware or the Disney princess's so the need to know those are copy right characters and they can’t just use them without permission. I also think they need to know how to use the guideline where they demonstrate that they know how to use the web and the different tools on it. I think the guideline where students need to demonstrate they can interact on the web is also important. This guideline shows them that cyber-bullying is not okay and how to be appropriate and respectful online. Or and obey the copy rights laws correctly since we will be using images and media from online. The students would most likely love cartoons characters like mickey.
I absolutely loved making my newsletter. I've always been very crafty so it wasn't very hard for me to get it all cute and stuff! What I liked the most about making the newsletter was learning how to use the different tools on Microsoft word, such as banners, column, and the different clip art. At first I did have a hard time figuring out what exactly I wanted my news letter to say but after a while I got it. Next time I can improve my newsletter by added more text instead of focusing mainly on the looks. Everything I learned in this assignment will be very useful to my future career since I am an elementary education major and I want to teach kindergarten. I now know how to make letters for my class in the future.
Open content is mainly digital stuff, such as music, images,words, graphics, an animations. The people who create these things attach and open license to it where other people can use it and view it. It allows people to use the items without permission freely, and modify without asking for permission. It is different from copy right even though it is a license. Copy right material you always have to ask permission or give credit to avoid stealing or plagiarizing someones work. Open content isnt always educational but you can use it for those purposes. Open content in EDU Open Education is tells you what you can share, produce, or use to build knowledge.
