 Twitter can be extremely beneficial. It can be used to connect with other professionals in your field. This can help you find useful materials or ideas to use. It can also be used to gain advice on situations from other professionals as well. 

The digital divide is definitely impactful on student success. As explained in the scenario in canvas of the two students, the student  who grew up with access and knowledge of technology will have more advantages in further education  and the workforce than the student who didn’t grew up with that privilege. One major cause of this divide is economic. A family’s lack of resources or financials to support the latest technologies will impact the child’s access to them. As a education professional, I will definitely have to be aware of these differences and make technology accessible to students. 

Two software tools I would use are YouTube and blogs. YouTube is based on videos where users generally watch or create them. Blogs are for self-publishing opinions or ideas. I think YouTube would be helpful to watch educational content to more deeply understand material and blogs would be helpful for classroom engagement.

 For grades K-2, one standard for computer science is communications and collaboration. This standard includes multiple benchmarks such as knowing different digital aids that are meant for communication and collaboration, being able to use the right keywords in searches and communication with teaches and peers like on email. The last two standards are being able to use technology to create solutions for problems while working with other students and teachers and lastly to be able to engage and receive helpful criticism during group projects. I would feel prepared to implement this standard by getting students use to online actions and services that include these benchmarks thought the year like emails (even if they’re badly written since they’re so young).        I selected 2nd grade social studies under the standard SS.2.A.1.1 regarding primary and secondary sources for historical inquiry and analysis. This subject had many resources such as 14 lesson plans abo...

       I visited Canopy Oaks Elementary School here in Tallahassee. Many teachers on the site had their websites or sections of one with creative decorations or bitmojis (emoji-ish versions of them), or newsletters. Some information I saw on these pages were their favorite things and contact information. They also gave information about their degrees and their teaching experience. Link:  https://www.leonschools.net/domain/1574        I  think there are multiple ways to use technology to be more professionally efficient and effective. I could see my classroom using websites like Slack as a communication for parents and students to ask questions about the class or homework. I can also use online websites like Notion or Google Calendar to keep track of important dates or important deadlines I need to get done. I could also use apps like the Pomodoro Timer to help me stay on task grading papers or creating lesson plans.     ...

 Hello everyone! My name is Jai-Ani (pronounced Jay-On-e). I am from Rochester, New York but I moved to Florida when I was 12. I am a psychology and sociology double major with a minor in education. Lastly, I am graduating so this is my last semester at FSU. I’ve used Microsoft programs during teaching experiences with other peers. I also have tutored students so I’ve used the online programs that the schools use for homework or extra practice. I’ve mainly used Microsoft programs and canva. This course was the first time I’ve used this website or Padlet, so I’m excited to see what other website I discover through this course.  As far as my PLN, I would definitely include the teachers and professionals I’ve met during my undergrad years. I feel like their knowledge has definitely helped me and shaped my career plans.  I also would include my coworkers. I work with RBT’s at a pediatric autism clinic and I always feel like I have learned something new about interacting with ...
