You can use data collection in many different ways as a teacher. You can use it with your students to understand how much they know about a subject and if they feel comfortable moving on. You can use it for fun, like asking them what game they would like to play at recess. You can also use it on the parents by asking them which time works best for events such as a mother daughter dance. Kindergarten students may want to tell you their favorite color while 5th graders may want to use it to tell you the middle school they wish to go to.  The topics I found most interesting while reviewing classmates blogs were what grades everyone wanted to teach, teaching philosophies and subjects everyone likes to teach.  Technology skills I would like to learn net are how to make interactive graphs on word and powerpoint. I would also like to learn new softwares for myself as a teacher and my students in the future. I would like to have distinct things for me and then my stu...

    The flipped classroom is where you combine traditional learning strategies with new ones such as new technology or online content. This could be using regular classroom technologies but then adding new ones on top of it so everyone can learn differently. You can make one part of your lesson online while one is traditional.  https://youtu.be/ojiebVw8O0g I acquired many new skills working with the power point projects. I learned how to use slide master which I did not know how to use before. I was ab;e to create a new layout and insert it into my own project. I also learned how to enter my voice into slides which I never knew how to do before. I am do glad I learned these new skills because I can use them when I am a teacher. 

      Adaptive technologies can be used to help students with disabilities learn better. Examples include recorded books, high-interest low-vocabulary books and scan/read systems. I have used recorded books in the past to help me read, not because I have a disability but because sometimes it is easier to listen to someone else read. I think this ay be a challenge in the classroom because if students realize these technologies are easier than the alternative, they may start to only use these technologies and forget about the original ways to learn.          You can use PowerPoint to support Bloom's Taxonomy by using every slide to portray a different level of each stage of the pyramid. This will give children a chance to learn while seeing it on different slides. 

        My experience using twitter so far has been really good. I am communicating with my classmates and learning a lot of information about technology around the world from following people. Benefits included being active in your class and getting to know some people. I am not experiencing any issues.           I learned how to turn words into links which I think is really cool, even though i needed help doing so. I can improve by taking my time and remembering what I did to get a certain task done on the assignment.     http://sandrabashoreeme2040.weebly.com I learned a lot from Diigo, I did not know how to annotate a page or highlight either! I am so happy with how much I learned. This can be useful in the classroom because I can highlight things for my students to pay attention to more. 

I picked the elementary school I went to when I was younger and found a list of class pages arranged by grade. They were not specifically made by the teacher, but more of a broad curriculum for the whole grade. The school is called Dr. Phillips Elementary in Orlando FL, and I looked at the tab under 4th grade.  https://www.ocps.net/cms/One.aspx?portalId=54703&pageId=88164 https://drphillipses.ocps.net/homepage I envision myself using technology to effectively teach students by making my lessons more hands on. Technology is a great way to get your students to be more hands on. Edmodo and other sites allow them to be hands on and collaborative. I also think it important to learn visually so I will guide the with projectors and smart boards up front so they can watch me do things.  Unfortunately, last week I had to go to the doctor for a medical emergency and did not make it to class. Luckily, a few of my classmates posted pictures ...
