Hey again! Florida Computer Science Standards are standards set for each grade level from grades kindergarten through twelfth grade for computer curriculum. For children in first grade, a benchmark they have to follow is "Benchmark SC.K2.CS-CC1.1" which has the students use different tools that allow them to communicate and collaborate with one another. They should also be able to recognize different online databases and libraries. Personally, I do feel prepared enough to integrate technology into my curriculum based on my current skill set. I consider myself pretty comfortable and familiar with using technology and feel that I won't have too much of a problem teaching it either.   I used the CPALMS Educator Toolkit and went to the first-grade mathematics section of the website. After looking through the lesson plans, text resources, and tutorials I have learned that I can use these resources in my future teachings. I can use it in my future teaching by looking at lesson ...

 Hello again! It is known that copyright is a protection for a creator's original work. Copyright allows creators to control how they want their work to be seen and used.  It also does not allow other people to copy a creator's work and use it as their own. Fair use is a doctrine that is seen as pretty flexible and only determined by the court. It allows someone to use something that is copyrighted if it is fair for them to use it. An example of this would be when a news network is using a video that is not theirs to report something. As a teacher, copyright could be seen with their own students. This could be if their students decide to use a fellow student's work as their own or get work off the internet and present it as their own. Seeing fair use in the classroom could definitely be when a teacher is using a passage word for word from a textbook to teach their students. I feel it is important to go over copyright, plagiarism, and fair use as a teacher and explain to you...

     Hello again! In middle school, I was taught how to use MS Word in computer class. I then continued to use Word throughout the rest of middle school and high school. I really enjoy Word because of all the different templates that they have for different Word documents. Once I went to college, I started to use Google Docs. I started to use Google Docs more because I was constantly using Word for my assignments and it was taking up space on my computer. Google Docs allows me to save up space on my computer by saving it online leaving space on my computer.      ISTE Standards for Educators is a guide that is used for teachers for kindergarten through twelfth grade, to teach them how to start to use technology in their classroom. The eight different ISTE Standards for Educators are learner, leader, citizen, collaborator, designer, facilitator, analyst, and innovator. I feel that the standard that is most meaningful to me would definitely have to be a learne...

 Hi everyone! My name is Liana Ketchum and I am twenty-one years old. Miami, Florida is where I grew up with my two sisters and both of my parents. One thing that I have always been passionate about is working with children. I started working every summer with children with special needs at my mother's job. Once covid hit, I started to work at a daycare with children from six months to six years old, where I discovered my passion of wanting to be a teacher.  "Miami Palmed Skyline" Wyn Van Devanter https://www.flickr.com/photos/15926096@N00/2912624792 " Miami Palmed Skyline " by  wyntuition  is licensed under  CC BY-SA 2.0 . My prior experience of using technology in the classroom setting includes mostly computer use. In every single college classroom that I have been in, I have used my computer. I have used my computer in classrooms to create Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and collages, to create PowerPoints, used it to submit assignments, and to use differ...
