 Hello again! I started to search through teacher websites through Leon County Public Schools and I found one of a first-grade teacher named Ms. Bonnell. On her teacher's website, she has it separated into several sections. The sections include the welcome page, student resources, announcements, important documents, and her classroom library. I feel that having the classroom library public to the parents is an easy way for parents to keep updated with what their children are reading in school. This is perfect for when parents want to implement certain readings at home. I also found the important documents page helpful. Here is where you can find a classroom supply list, their class schedule, and a calendar of important dates and information for parents/students to expect.  https://www.leonschools.net/Page/41039 As I plan to be a future teacher, I feel it is important to use technology in my classroom efficiently and to use it to accomplish my career responsibilities.

 Hello again! In class, I have learned how to use an online website named Diigo. Diigo is an online website that can be used for online research because it allows you to bookmark, and write notes on different websites. It is a great tool when conducting research because it makes writing notes and saving information much easier. I also really enjoyed that Diigo can be accessed across all of my devices. This means that I can use it on my phone computer and iPad while doing different things in different places.  Throughout this course, we have been blogging weekly and it is safe to say this is an assignment that I really enjoy doing. I feel it is a great way to reflect on what we have been learning throughout the week and I also feel it is a great way to show how much we really know and understand about the material that has been taught to us. The only negative opinion that I have about blogging is that I was always unsure how to start my blog to make it flow better. I have now r...

     Hello again! I originally started using Twitter in 2020 when COVID-19 hit and I was bored at home. I originally did not understand fully the concept of Twitter but found it interesting once I followed more and more people. Once I started to use Twitter more and more I realized how great of an app Twitter is and how useful it was to get information. I started following my friends and family and then started following other Twitter accounts so I could get information and news quicker than I usually would. In my future career, I hope to become a teacher and I feel that I can definitely use Twitter in my future career. I can use Twitter in my future career by staying informed about the teaching world around me, and even seeing other resources teachers share online. I can also read on teachers' experiences in the classroom to see what does and does not work for them.      The digital divide has two different sides one side people have access to technology a...
