Blog #7



So far, I've gotten better at remembering that I need to tweet from my EME twitter account. The benefits for using Twitter is that we get to see each others' ideas and thoughts about the same projects and it is easy to connect with one another. So far, I haven't really experienced any issues with Twitter, since I have been using it for about five years.

A new skill that I've acquired from working on the Web Page Design is inserting a calendar. I did not know how to do that before and now I do, which will be beneficial for me when I am a teacher. I liked this assignment because I will be doing this later on as a teacher, so it is giving me a chance to practice my skills.
I did not know how to use Diigo before, so everything we've learned from using it is a new skill to me. I love how you are able to comment and annotate articles and have the option to share them to the class or just keep them for yourself. Diigo can be used in classrooms for homework assignments or class discussions online.

Whether physically impaired or learning disabled, adaptive technologies can support students with special needs. Some of the adaptive technologies are word processing, word prediction software, talking word processors, talking spell-checkers, and more. An example of this would be talking word processors which can r eview and edit one’s work, which can be so difficult for students who have poor reading skills, so this makes it easier by the use of text-to-speech  or talking word processing programs. Personally, I have never used one of these tools and not known anyone who has used one of these programs. Using these technologies in the classroom might be difficult because the school may not have enough funding to have them or there might not be enough kids to have the demand for these tools. Kids who do not need these tools may also try and use them, which would be detrimental to their learning because they are not doing the critical thinking that they s...

The flipped classroom is a model in which the student listens to prerecorded video lectures before they come to class. The students' role in the classroom changes from being passive receivers to active learners engaged in "exploration and discovery within the content's framework." In class, the students work with the content in group or individual activities with their teacher, who helps clarify and deepen the students' understanding. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_p63W_2F_4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdKzSq_t8k8 There is open education, content, and source. Open education is a philosophy about the way people should produce, share, and build on knowledge. Proponents of open education believe everyone in the world should have access to high-quality educational experiences and resources, and they work to eliminate barriers to this goal. Such barriers might include high monetary costs, outdated or obsolete materials, and legal mechanisms that prevent...

     As a student, I have used Microsoft Word throughout middle school and high school and all of my teachers have used it too. Microsoft Word has always been what we used for homework, assignments, and essays as students and the teachers using it to post instructions on the projector. However, through the past couple years, we have stopped using Microsoft Word and started using GoogleDocs. I think we really started using GoogleDocs because it automatically saves all our work and we have share what we are working on with others easily and it goes along with GoogleClassroom.      I have had a lot of experience with copyright and fair use of materials from being in the IB program at my high school. From being in this program, we have had to turn our essays and assignments in on websites that tell our teacher if we plagiarized our work or not. We also focused on how to site all of our sources correctly to make sure we would not get in ...
