BLOG 6

    This was my first time using Diigo and I think it is really useful. It is a great way to share resources and connect with what other people are finding and using. I think it is a great tool for finding important information and tips from other teachers. It is also a great way to connect with others and find people who are researching the same things as you. One negative thing about Diigo is that it is not super user friendly. It was a little hard to navigate at first and understand how to post, but it is worth it once you figure it out. 
    I have really enjoyed blogging so far. I think it is the best way to keep all of my assignments in one place. It makes it easy to look at all of my work from the semester at one time and be able to find anything from past assignments. I also like how I am able to see what my classmates are posting. From doing the blog, I have learned how to create a blog, how to change the layout and designs, and link other things to a blog. This could be a really helpful tool in the future to make a blog for my class or even personal reasons. 
    One Web 2.0 tool that I think would be really helpful is Edmodo. It is a great tool for parents, teachers, and students. Teachers can give quizzes, post news and assignments, and chat with parents. One of my teachers used Edmodo and it was extremely helpful to keep all of my assignments organized and stay in contact with updates she needed to give us. https://new.edmodo.com/

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 ...

  There are many different ways to use data collection in the classroom. One way is to learn about your students at the beginning of the year. Teachers can use surveys to learn their students favorite subjects, favorite colors, about their home life, what they are interested in, etc. This would help teachers get to know their students better and collect all the information in one place at one time. Surveys can also be used later on to test students knowledge of a subject. Teachers can test how well students are grasping concepts all together.  I loved looking at everyone else's blogs and seeing what everyone else said. A lot of people had the same ideas about the skills they want to learn, the data collection ideas, and even a lot of similar responses on past blogs. I also loved looking at everyone's websites. Everyone had great websites with a lot of good information, colorful designs, and easy to navigate layouts. I like how even though we all have the same assignments, ever...

Digital learning has become the normal over the past 2.5 years after the pandemic hit in 2020. Personally, I have loved my digital learning experience. It gives me the time to do my assignments at my own pace and work from anywhere. I love being able to go home whenever I want and not have to worry about missing class or not being able to turn in assignments. Next semester, my classes go back to in person and I am both excited and nervous for the change. However, one thing I disliked about digital learning is that there is no face-to-face interaction. This makes it hard to ask questions and work with other people. When I am a teacher, I will make sure that there are zoom times available to each student to ask questions and get extra help. It can be difficult to communicate over email and having a zoom time for them to work with me one on one gives students a chance to get any questions answered.  Open educational resources (OER) are resources available to anyone to use for whatever...
