  1. During the Web Design Assignment, I learned many things! I had never used “Weebly” before, so figuring out how to use the site building tool was a learning curve, but once I got it, it was easy! Additionally, I learned lots about how to embed things within a website. The term “embedding” seemed a lot scarier than the actual task was! I liked being able to learn how to build a website because I think it's a useful task. I also enjoyed making the website created for the students. Although I really enjoyed this assignment, the only thing I could see that would make it better would be to use a different site than Weebly, as I thought Weebly seemed a bit dated.

  1. I learned many new skills from working with Diigo! I think that Diigo is a great resource for being able to share information and connect with others. I like how collaborative Diigo is, and I enjoyed learning how to post articles, annotate articles, and comment on others' posts. This application can be useful in my future classroom because I can implement Diigo as a tool for sharing articles and information among the students. Additionally, Diigo is a great group work tool, because it focuses so much on collaborativeness. Lastly, Diigo is a great tool for my individual professional efforts because it is helpful with learning new information from others. 

 

  1. Technology and teacher professional development go hand-in-hand nowadays. In earlier times, teachers did not have as much technology to implement in a classroom, but now teachers have almost every resource at their fingertips. Teachers today are responsible for keeping up with the latest technological innovations that will benefit their students in the classroom. Additionally, students can benefit from learning about new technological innovations as well, because it can help their student life and professional life. Professional development for teachers means that not only does the teacher succeed, but the students do too. By using advanced technology methods in the classroom, teachers can improve their professional development overall.

    Hey Lindsey, I really liked your website it was very simple and included good information. I would suggest in the future to make sure that all your texts align. On the front page, the announcements does not align with the rest of the headings next to it but overall, great job on everything else.

    Hey Lindsay, I really enjoyed looking at your site! I loved how you were ablet o make everything pop through the use of contrasting colors. I also loved how easy it was to read, and how accessible it was. I would say that you could have implemented the concepts of alignment more, however I would say that overall, you did great and this would be an amazing tool for your kids to use in the classroom!

    Initially, I was very confused by Diigo, but after doing the participation assignments on Diigo, it made more sense to me. I thought the website seemed a bit “outdated” in its appearance, but then I realized it can be very useful for group collaboration, discussion, and resource sharing.  So far, I have loved the blogging experience! I think that posting these discussion posts and other information to my Blogger page has been much more interesting than simply posting to canvas! Furthermore, I enjoy how the blog is customizable to your needs and personal styles, and how different widgets can be added. The addition of widgets on the blog is a great touch! During the blogging process I have learned a lot about the layout and format of posts, and also how to make a website look appealing to others.  An interesting web 2.0 tool I have found to use while teaching is Khan Academy. I think that Kahn Academy is a great resource for students who need extra help quickly and...

 EME SPRING 2022      Hello! My name is Lindsey Kaplan, I'm 21 years old, and I am a junior at Florida State University. I am currently majoring in sociology, and minoring in education. I am from Boca Raton, Florida, which is about a 7-hour drive south of Tallahassee. While growing up, I was inspired by so many amazing teachers, which made me want to enter the education field myself! I am excited to learn how to incorporate technology into education, and I look forward to this class.       While attending school, I often had to use technology in class for projects and assignments. I have used Microsoft Office for a very long time, but I am just learning how to become comfortable using Microsoft Excel. Furthermore, I have used websites such as Kahoot, Prezi, and other supplemental technology while being a student. Personally, I would consider myself very comfortable using technology, but I also am aware that I could improve my skills. I have the ba...

  Copyright and fair use are two very important concepts that apply to education, media (music, film, television), and product creation and innovation. Copyright is what protects online and in-person creations such as art, literature, products, logos, etc. When something is copyrighted, permission must be granted prior to using the creation and credit must be given if one uses the creation. On the other hand, fair use is when others' creations can be used but must be used in addition to one “new work”. Fair use also requires that the creator is not gaining monetary benefit from adding to somebody else's work.  While dealing with the concepts in regard to education, teachers and students must be very careful about the sources and media types used in a classroom. For example, if a copyrighted worksheet is online, I must gain permission from the owner before using it in my classroom, or else I would be subject to legal troubles. These concepts need to be taught in the classroom s...
