 The Florida computer science standards when looking at its component seems like an overload of information to touch base on. Yet it’s still an important part of student education that they will need to learn in order to succeed. Looking at grades K-2nd, students must learn the basics of computer literacy and skills that will help them navigate technology. Some of these skills include identifying digital tools for communication and collaboration, creating simple algorithms, and providing proper car for electronic. However within these skills there are some safety lessons such as identifying safe and unsafe examples of communication and explaining that some information is private and should not be shared online. When teaching about the internet and how to use computers it’s also important to educate students on being safe on the web along with learning how to use computers too.

When looking at the educator toolkit on CPALMS, I had selected visual arts for grade 4. I think if I was going to be a teacher I would be interested in the arts or science. The lesson plans given  from the educator toolkit is a great resource that can help give ideas and insight to formulate a lesson plan of your own. These lesson plans include detailed activities, objectives and strategies to help with the specific topic chosen. Each resource can help provide enriching ideas or solve obstacles that teachers may have. 

Teaching students on computer literacy means we as teachers must be proficient as well. Everything starts with being proficient in searching the web for exactly what is needed. Without this skill finding and creating lesson plans will be more and more difficult as technology advances. Especially if we are not able to keep up. One tactic I will be using to enhance my searching skills is combining searches. As easy as it might be to search on the web for something having thousands and thousands of results can be a lot to go through when you are looking for something specific.

 Being a student you have to have access to many program in order to effectively do work. The most common program is Microsoft word. Although I’ve had my fair share of using Microsoft word I have grown more accustomed to using Google Docs. Microsoft office is a program you have to pay for, and although it’s free for students, google docs has always been free. All you have to do is have a Gmail account and you have access to docs, slides and sheets.  Lastly, I have always found google docs to be more simple and straight forward to use than Microsoft word. Yet at the end of the day everyone has their own preference.  ISTE standards are standards that provide a road map to helping students become empowered learners. Having these standards not only help students but also help teachers in enhancing their skills. One standard that I enjoy and that sticks out for me is being a leader. This standard seeks out opportunities for leadership to support student empowerment and success...

 Hello everyone, my name is Angel. I am a sociology major at Florida State and I am taking EME 2040 to complete my credit hours for my Minor in education. I had transferred into FSU from BC . I came in with  excess credits that when I had accidentally picked up two education courses I was eminently enrolled in the education minor program. Although I find the whole situation funny it has opened me up to a pathway I didn’t think I would be interested in. Within my own field of sociology and psychology having an education background furthers my study and has allowed me to learn more about the education field even in sociological perspective.  As we all know technology is becoming more innovated as we move forward in the world but technology has become more and more common within educational settings. Schools have been moving away from the traditional paper and pencil usage within classrooms to a more tech oriented approach. Two programs that I have used within my own educati...

 When working on assignment three, which was to create a web design, I’d like to think I gained a few new skills. I learned how to create a website which would be important, not only for a teaching field, but in any field you decide to choose as a career path. I hadn’t realize the types of options I had, such as a portfolio or blog. I enjoyed how creative I could be with this assignment while also doing what was required, but also putting my own touches to it. What I didn’t realize was how tedious this task was. I had everything planned out, but trying to figure everything out took me more time than I expected. Although it was difficult at times, I never let it discourage me. I knew that if I did this, even if I messed up at times, I was here to learn. And really, that’s all that matters.  My initial thoughts on using Diigo is still the same, that it doesn’t seem like it would be a tool that I would personally use or take full advantage of.  I know that I personally haven...
