Standard: 

Grade 2 LAFS.2.RL.3.7 

"Use information gained from the illustrations and words in a print or digital text to demonstrate understanding of its characters, setting, or plot." 

    I feel semi confident in my ability to implement this strategy at this time in my school career. I am very much a hands on person when it comes to learning and I prefer to handwrite everything. I have to write everything before I type it, including discussion boards, essays, blog posts, etc. I think I could make the online posters that come with this standard but I would have to learn how to use the storybook website and how to make comic strips. I have a lot to learn to be more comfortable with technology but over time, I will be able to implement this strategy successfully in my own classroom. 


    The resource that I found in the CPALMS toolkit is a science resource for second graders. It is called Solids, Liquids, and Gases, Oh My! This is an interactive video and practice tool for children to better understand the different states of matter. There are multiple videos describing each one and then practice problems and diagrams to help the children do it on their own. This would be good practice during their free time or after school to get extra practice with this topic. 


    Internet searching is something that we do every single day, whether it is for a general life question, school, directions, etc. When we search online, the first answer that comes up is usually a snippet of a website or article. The answer that shows is what the search engine has been programmed to find. It will also have the link to the full article in case the snippet did not fully answer the question. Sometimes google does not have what we are looking for so we can use the advanced search engine. This allows you to use key words and get more specific results. It would save a lot of time and get better results if everyone learned how to use the advanced search engine properly.

          Copyright is protection for peoples intellectual property. It makes sure that no one can get credit for someone else's work. Copyright laws play a big part in what students and teachers can or cannot use in the classroom. It can be helpful to people who put in time and research so their work is protected. Fair use is what allows certain things to be used without permission as long as it is for educational purposes and no one is benefiting from it monetarily. It is important that students at all ages are aware of the seriousness of taking credit for work that is not theirs.      Technology can have a lot of benefits in the classroom, but there are also a lot of issues that come with it. One is academic dishonesty. Because there is so much information available online, it is easy for students to try to use research as their own. It is so important that students are taught the proper way to cite things in all grade levels, especially a...

     Personally, I like Microsoft Word the best because that is what I am used to and have been certified in. I think it is a preference but I had to use Microsoft in middle and high school so I was able to get really familiar with it. One positive about Google Docs is that multiple people can work on one document at the same time. This can be useful for group projects or revising essays. I think that everyone should learn and be comfortable using both Microsoft Word and Google Docs.       The ISTE standard that is most meaningful to me is 2.3 Citizen. This standard states "Educators inspire students to positively contribute to and responsibly participate in the digital world." I think that this standard is so important because technology is so valuable in this society and it is so important for students to know how to use it appropriately. Students need to know how to be respectful online when using different types of technology. Inspiring students to...

BLOG 1- Introduction

 My name is Macy McMahon! I am a junior at Florida State University majoring in Family and Child Sciences with a double minor in Education and Child Development. I am originally from a small city about 4.5 hours from Tallahassee, Dunedin, FL. One thing about me and who I am is that I am a Christian. Some things that I love to do include, spending time with my friends, reading, traveling, and going to the beach. I am excited for this class and all of the exciting projects that come with it.  I do not have a lot of technology experience in an educational sense. I got a few Microsoft Certifications in middle and high school but have only ever used them for class assignments over the years. I have used different presentation platforms such as PowerPoint and Prezi for class projects, especially in high school. I hope to get more experience in this class and expand my technological experience.  One of the main sources I use to help me create and succeed in my goals of having a ...
