This school page is a high school science teachers class page. She has posted an announcement, upcoming assignments for both different subjects, and all her contact information. The attendance for the week is posted and she also offers optional assignments for the students. I really liked the way that she formatted her page and the information she used. 



I think I will use a lot of technology to help me accomplish my professional responsibilities. I will use resources to help my students such as Kahoot, Class Dojo, Google Docs, etc. I will also use technology such as Google calendar, online reminders, and Microsoft word to keep my professional duties and notes organized. I have always been a hard copy person but there a lot of great technology resources to take advantage of. 

My experience working on the PB Works was not great because the site kept crashing. This pushed back my groups ability to work on the project together when we planned and we had to make other accommodations. However, when I was able to get on, I thought it was a little hard to navigate and understand so I would probably not use it again unless I had to. It was a little confusing to figure out how to post on it and how the different features worked. If I had to use it in the future for my class, I would probably only use it as a way to post additional resources, not anything they would need to access daily.

     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 ...

  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...
