Kyle Gutierrez' Blog EME2040

 I looked at the teacher pages of the faculty in the English Department at Chiles High School. I found a lot of important bits of information including certifications, personal life information, messages to students and parents, the classes that the teacher teaches, their involvement in extracurriculars at the school, pictures of the teachers, contact information, degrees, etc. For an example, one of the teachers, Mrs. Hilary Parsons, included many of these things. In her page she has her mission statements about teaching, personal life details, her experience, qualifications, pictures of herself, how to navigate her canvas page, etc. I think these personal teacher pages are important so that prospective students or parents can understand things about their teachers. https://www.leonschools.net//site/Default.aspx?PageID=21646 I envision myself to be using technology to their fullest potential and capabilities because I understand the importance and effectiveness of technology when usin

I think Diigo is a good website and I like that it is user-friendly and that users can easily share and access information and resources. I dislike that it takes many steps in order to post information and share information with your group members. However, once the information is shared, the resources and information are in a medium which helps collaboration and efficiency. I also like that you are not limited to the members of your group and that you can find more resources using the search tool. So far, I find blogging to be positive because when I blog, I clear my mind and can listen to my thoughts. I like being able to write about things that I feel and things that I want to write about because it is therapeutic. I dislike writing about things that I am unfamiliar with, however. So far, I have learned that it is important to write about what you think of and have your opinions because that is what makes a blog a blog. One interesting Web 2.0 tool that I may consider using when tea

 Twitter has been an interesting tool to work with, but it definitely has many uses and benefits. I have followed some accounts which relate to education, and I have participated in edchat which is a twitter chat that talks about all things education. I think Twitter will be helpful in my future because I believe it could help me to connect with other teachers or other people that might be able to help me in my endeavors. Twitter has a feature which allows you to search for people or accounts so I could use this to help me find people that I would like to talk to. Digital Divide affects student success in schools because it could hinder students from following instruction and lesson plans efficiently due to not having the technology to do so and it could negatively affect students since technology in education makes things run faster and smoother. For an example, if class is on zoom or another service like it, a student who doesn't have a device or internet service would not be abl

  ELA.11.R.1- Reading Prose and Poetry for Grade 11. This standard calls for 11th graders to be able to understand, analyze, and write about, prose and poetry. Based on my current skill set I do not believe I would be able implement this standard because my knowledge, understanding, and ability to teach this subject is minimal. I have had past experience with poetry and prose; being able to analyze, write about, and understand it. However, my knowledge on this subject is rusty and I would need refresher courses to be able to implement this standard. For my tool or resource, I chose the area of Social Studies for 9-12th grade and my tool or resource is named "The impact of Political Parties in America". This tool is an original student tutorial and an interactive program that you are able to click through and read. I would use this in my classroom because it is important to learn the American political structure in order to understand U.S. history and much of this information

 Both copyright and fair use are important aspects to consider when you are creating anything for a purpose. Copyright is a concept where a person who makes or has authority over something can allow someone else or themselves to use a certain material. Fair use is a term that describes where someone is able to use something that is copyrighted. As a teacher who might be constantly making things or using material that was not made by me, I must keep these things in mind so that I am using material correctly. If I have my students create things as well, I must have them comply with the standards. Decreased productivity refers to the fact that some classes are not productive with the class time that they are given or do not stay with the expected material and workload. A solution I have to end this would be to incorporate fun learning technology like Kahoot! in my lessons or studying so that I can keep students engaged and motivated to be productive. Academic dishonesty refers to the fact
