Blog 6 Web tools

 My initial experience using Diigo was that it kind of looks like a google search engine with all the different websites linked on it. I think it is pretty easy to use. It wasn't hard to figure out the different tools like using a sticky note and connecting it to the search engine. I didn’t like that it kinda looks a little old like the formatting. 


I actually really enjoy blogging! It is the first time I have ever done this and I think it is the perfect way for us to discuss our opinions. I like it better than just using a discussion board on canvas like most teachers use. I have learned so many new things about the internet that i didn’t know and it opened my abilities to be able to search the internet better. 


An interesting Web 2.0 tool that I could use while teaching is Presi. I really enjoy this website because it gives students the opportunity to follow along with your lesson and answer questions to keep them engaged. This app can also be used for students to create presentations. I believe this app is also very accessible because it is free of charge and all you need is a computer or iPad. Prezi

Teaching through technology

 1. I haven’t really ever used twitter so I am not very familiar with it. I am very familiar with instagram and use it all the time. I can use instagram to follow other teachers who may be just in the beginning of their career or others who are far into their career. I can get inspiration for my classroom or even just things they have learned being a teacher over time. I find it beneficial because it is easy to use and I can look up almost anything and get tons of ideas.  2. As time goes on the digital divide is getting smaller and smaller as technology becomes more apparent for everyone. The digital divide affects students in many ways. One thing that is affected is homework and assignments. This happens when students are required to do work at home that is online. This may be a problem for students who don’t have internet access at home. This may cause students to have to go to the library to get a computer.  Some causes of the digital divide are where you live. You m...

Blog 9 covid, OER and PowerPoints

Image
When covid happened I was a freshman and high school. It was March of 2020 and I was going on vacation and then we were told we weren't going to be able to return to school. We started doing online school where the teachers would just post assignments for us to complete and we would do them by the end of the week. It was very easy assignments so I feel like I didn’t learn a ton the second semester. One thing I liked was that I was with my family but it also got boring after a while. My routine was all over the place. I think if I’m a teacher and their is distance learning I can help my students by making sure the assignments are fun and even maybe hold zoom calls so students don’t feel behind and feel confused on assignments.  The OER is basically allowing people to use your resource for a greater purpose. They are educational resources that are open to the public. They can bounce ideas off of them, maybe revise them into their own new idea or even change some factor and remix it. ...

About me

 Hi I’m Avery. I am 5’9 and have always been tall my entire life! I love the color pink and my favorite animal is a pig. I love working out and online shopping. I am very excited to be studying Elementary Education at Florida state! Go Noles!  Technology has been a big part of my school experience. I have used a computer for a lot of my school work these past five years. I feel very comfortable working on a computer/ tablet. I am usually good about problem solving without any help. I haven’t taken a computer class since 8th grade so it’s been a long time.  But I am excited to be refreshing my brain on computer technology again! I didn’t know what PLN ( personal Learning Network)  was until today but I realized I’m in a couple without even knowing it. I am a big social media person and Tik Tok has suddenly become a big hit. I personally use Tik Tok to learn lots of things like recipes, outfit ideas, and even future wedding plans for down the line. I love that I can sa...
