Blog Post #3

                   After reading the ELA technology standards, I realized that I am prepared to teach “Use Multiple Sources.” I am capable of teaching this standard for the fact being that I have mastered this skill. I have written numerous essays for which I had to be very careful when it came to citing information so I would not encounter legal issues. A standard that I do not feel very comfortable is “Multimedia:” Literature. I believe that I would have to take courses that deals with analyzing multimedia elements to master this standard.

               As a teacher, I would like to us instant messaging(IM) with my students. Instant messaging would allow me to send daily reminders to my students and vice versa. Back in high school, a teacher of mine would use the app “Remind” to send us reminders of assignments and if we had any questions, we would receive a response soon via the app. With my students (ages 9-11), I would address the digital citizenship concepts. They need to be aware that even though you are not physically communicating with an individual, you are by a device. The way the portray themselves via the internet is a reflection of who they are and there are other individuals involved.

             At first, I was intimidated by the Newsletter assignment because I never had to anything creative on Microsoft words besides writing essay. From doing this assignment, I have learned how to add columns to any assignments done on word. I like how this effect allows multiple columns on a page. However, I disliked the moments where the banner would randomly move. This assignment taught me that it takes creativity to make an assignment aesthetically pleasing and it is a reflection of your dedication to your career.  This assignment is useful because in the future I will most likely send Newsletter to my patents to keep them updated.

Here is an image of my Newsletter assignment:
