I feel that I personally will use data collection surveys throughout my teaching. I feel as if I will run my class based upon the needs of my students and surveying will be crucial to that. One way I feel that I will collect data will be through surveying the accessibility to the internet and technology and have them review my teaching as to what I could do better within lessons. I feel that this is important because it allows me to adapt to the needs of my students When it comes to reviewing my classmate's blogs, I feel that it is most interesting to get to know them in different ways. Since the pandemic, I have not had the chance to really meet people face-to-face, and reading my classmate's blogs lets me get a bit closer to them. I like how creative they are and the names they have. Fleabag might be one of my favorites, I love seeing how diverse everyone is.  I would like to learn how to code next. I did my own business website (soulfullyorganic.com) and I had so much fun br...

     My experiences as a distance learner truly took place during the pandemic. I like the accessibility of online learning because it's easy to maneuver and incorporate it into your daily life. However, I dislike the workload classes that would usually be hands-on are providing, being that there are still barriers when it comes to online learning. I feel that the incorporation of activities like games or songs would be beneficial than just book work because there are many different types of learners and I feel that online learning truly just caters to a small group.      Open educational resources are educational resources that are easily accessible to the community. Open educational resources are freely accessible, licensed for public use and can be things such as media or other digital/physical assets that are beneficial for learning and teaching. Some examples of open educational resources are online tutorials, steaming videos, and open textbo...

     My initial experiences with Diigo were a bit confusing at first. This was one of my first experiences with Diigo, and I am a bit indifferent about it. I like that you are able to have important information and articles in one place and that you are able to easily document your notes and annotations.  I personally feel like it's just something I wouldn't really use the software because I am a bit of a chaotic organizer and have a word doc for any important assignments.      My experiences with blogging are also a bit funny, when I was younger I wanted to start a food blog prior to going vegan. I do enjoy blogging, I feel like this is something I could easily pick up as a hobby if I wanted to become a foodie :). I learned that blogging is actually a lot easier and blogger provides a bunch of cool user-friendly/beginner-friendly gadgets that you can use to make your blog visually appealing as well. The only thing that would discourage me from bloggin...

                     My early experiences using Twitter were relatively boring, at first I did not understand the hype about Twitter. After a while, I started to change what I saw on Twitter by following different people. I started following things that interested me such as Black gardeners and Black tarot readers. I feel that Twitter will be helpful within my career as an entrepreneur because I can use it to market my business  I feel that digital division can negatively impact the student's success in school. Some of the causes of the digital divide are economic background and the resources available to the student. I feel that these divisions negatively can impact a student's rate of success in school because not all students have the same technology resources around. One thing that I could experience as a classroom teacher is a student who does not have any access to technology or the internet.  Two Academic softw...

My experiences using MS word as a student started around 6th grade once my school got laptops for every student. I honestly prefer MS word over any other word processing software. If I were to pick a different favorite word processing software, Google Docs would a solid runner-up because I feel that it doesn't outdo MS Word in any aspect. I prefer MS word because I love how customizable and adaptable it is to every person and situation. I am actually certified in MS Word, Excel, and Powerpoint.  The ISTE standard that stood out the most to me is the Citizen. The citizen focuses on creating a positive impact within the students to contribute and be responsible within the digital world. I feel as if this is important because the digital world can be an extremely toxic and dangerous place. I feel that once students build that personal connection with the teacher and are developed into safe students on the internet it is more influential than them being told- children imitate not liste...
