I made my first twitter when I was about 12 years old, in 6th grade. I had in all throughout high school and then deleted it when I got to FSU. I used to interact with my friends mostly, but also followed celebrities and other important people. Twitter might be helpful when I am a teacher because I can talk to other teachers from all over the world for ideas and help in the classroom.
The digital divide makes it hard for students who do not have internet access at their fingertips to succeed in school when other students do. Causes of the digital divide are low-income students in the same class as higher income students. (Based on their parents income.) This may be hard as a teacher because you will have to make assignments and homework that will allow both types of students to succeed.
I believe I will use Microsoft word the most in the classroom. You can use it for quizzes, flyers and other activities. I like it because it is quick to use. When I am teaching 3rd grade, I can use  it for history, math and science quizzes, and it will not take long at all.

An ELA technology standard I am most prepared to teach with is using different sources to cite work. I have experience, especially in high school, with using multiple sources to find information. I think this will be easy to teach students as well. I think the hardest standard to follow would be analyzing the structure the author uses to organize a text. Analyzing text structures is not my strong suit and I feel like I would need to take more  english classes to get better at it.  I think I would like to use Internet, email and Microsoft word mostly with my students. I think these are the 3 most common and useful applications. I would like to teach 2nd or 3rd grade and I think this is an appropriate age group for these applications.  I think a newsletter is an effective way to get information out to parents ad students. I think I acquired a lot of helpful skills that i will need later on to be a teacher. I liked how I got to be creative but I did...

  There are many things that influence the use of technology in the classroom by teachers and students. I think the main influence is collaboration with everyone involved in the learning facility including teachers, parents and students. Technology allows you to collaborate virtually and in-person to get a better understanding of the material and share your thoughts with your peers. The ISTE standards are standards that educators and students have to use to meet specific goals. One that caught my eye was the P12 standard. This helps children acquire knowledge for future success by integrating technology in the classroom. One that seems outside of my personal reach is the common core standard. I believe every student learns differently and reflects what they learn differently which is why this standard is hard for me to soak in. I think a common core tries to make every student learn the same when every child and even educators learn differently.  I would agree with the ter...

    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.
