 I do not have much experience using Twitter. I have never had an account until I had to make one for this class. Since I have created an account, I have been interacting with other students taking EME2040. I also have been interacting with other education accounts like FSU Education and Florida Education. Twitter may be helpful in the future to connect with people of similar interests. 

The digital divide has the potential to create a split between students and can affect a student's academic success. Students with easy access to computers and the internet may have more experience and therefore feel more confident with the materials. This may give those students with easy access an advantage to succeed academically. As a teacher, I will most likely come across students with different digital resources. I will make sure to do my best to help the students who have more difficulty gaining access to digital materials. For example, do partner assignments and students can share one laptop or make them aware of computers on campus. I will try to do some digital and some non-digital assignments to make the class as fair as possible and accommodate all students. 

One academic software I will use in the future would include Zoom. I feel that Zoom will be helpful during these times due to the pandemic and people staying home to be safe. Technology is advancing everyday so I believe it will only become more common as we move forward. In addition, I will use Microsoft Word in my classroom. I would like to use this because it gives students reliable software to put their work and practice using technology.

  By working on the Web design assignment, I acquired many new skills. I had never created a website before and this was my first time. Because of this, I initially had some difficulty. However, while working through the process I got the hang of it and was able to finish my website. I actually had a lot of fun doing it! I like that it was easy to navigate, but I wish that there were more layout options. In the future, I will use what I learned to create a page for my classroom. This will have information about my class that is accessible to students as well as parents. https://rileyrotheme2040.weebly.com/   Working with Diigo taught me a lot. I learned how to communicate and share ideas with peers in one space. These applications can be useful in the classroom because it will give my students and I a place to engage with each other. I can use it to work with team members to collaborate and share ideas.  Technology is how people stay aware of changes. Technology also play...

  When a person has a copyright for their work, it allows others to use it while the owners also receive proper attribution and sometimes payments. Copyright gives others permission to utilize someone else's work. Copyright is essentially protection when using another person's intellectual or creative work. In education, it is often that teachers need to use someone else's work to teach the material. As a teacher, I feel I would deal with these concepts by primarily teaching with my own material. Then I would add on by using someone else's video, writing, or book as examples in order to help my students understand the material more in depth. Sometimes, another person may give my students extra information I did not or it could provide another perspective. The Fair Use guidelines are featured in the Copyright Act of 1976. The purpose of Fair Use guidelines is to allow people to use someone else's works as long as it is for nonprofitable education purposes. A...

  I learned a lot from completing Assignment 5 PowerPoint Interaction. For example, I learned how to hyperlink to a different page on the same PowerPoint. I also learned how to disable the “next” setting on the PowerPoint. Although I had a sound on a PowerPoint slide, it was not the correct way. I struggled figuring out how to do this. Next time, I will make sure to improve this when adding sound.  As a teacher, I will definitely use data collection (surveys) in my classroom. I may teach elementary school, therefore there is not one single subject to teach. However, I could collect data such as the student’s grades on a test. I could compare the data between my students and see the average test grade. This will help me grasp where most of my students are when understanding the class material.  I found some interesting topics while reading my classmates blog’s. I really enjoyed reading what they learned from the assignments they were given. It is interesting to see what di...
