    My initial experience using Diigo was not good. This is because I don’t find it very user friendly. I like how you’re able to connect with groups and share your thoughts using Diigo. I don't like how difficult it is to use when using Diigo. I feel like it’s hard to join groups and annotate when it could be simpler.

    Now experiencing blogging, I don’t necessarily love it but I don’t hate it. i like that blogging feels easy and I don’t struggle to write. I always have so many thoughts in my head so I have something to write about always. I don’t like how without prompts of school I wouldn’t know what necessarily to write about. So far during the blogging process, I have learned how to reach and connect with others. 

    A Web 2.0 tool I might use when teaching is Prezi. Prezi is a presentation program that’s different from other tools. You can break away from slides as it zooms in and out of the slides. I believe this will be good to use in my future classroom because it will help keep the students engaged.

      ELA Technology standard LAFS.2.RL.3.7 is for the grade level 2. This standard is aimed for students to gain an understanding of characters, the setting and the plot of a story using a print or digital text through its words and illustrations. I would feel prepared to implement this standard based on my current skill set. This is because I am familiar with online poster creators which is one of the technology tools linked to this standard.     One of the resources in CPALMS Educator Toolkit is the Responsible Decision Makers Use Technology lesson plan. This is specific to grade level 2 in the subject area of science. The resources available to support Standard SC.K2.CS-CP.2.2 can be used in my teaching through guiding me, the teacher, through the lesson. This will help facilitate my teaching of the lesson by breaking down how the students should break up the simple task into small steps though coding.     Internet searching is important when being a teacher. It is important to be

Rebecca Garcia     I am a 20 year old junior studying Human Development and Family Sciences in university. I plan to be an elementary school teacher one day in the future. I cannot wait until I am able to get into the field of education and begin to make a difference. Making a difference in the lives of my students will be most important to me as we, as teachers, will be shaping the minds of the future generation.     My prior experiences using technology in an educational setting are with the applications Notability, Canvas, Google, and Microsoft Office programs. These prior experiences have influence over my learning and education. Using technology in an educational setting is impactful because it facilitates further learning as there is more access to additional information. These influences affect me in terms of learning more than what is given to me in my school courses through the access to the internet.     My main personal learning networks consist of TikTok and Pinterest.

      Copyright and fair use are topics that are important for teachers and students. As a teacher, developing my own instructional materials, I would deal with this concept by avoiding any form of photocopying as I am unclear about my ability to photocopy legally. Also as a teacher, having students create their own work, I would deal with this concept by promoting the same concept of not photocopying to my students and try to clearly explain he difference between copyright and fair use so he students are educated. I have learned how I would be able to protect my rights on my own work through a Creative Commons license.      In classrooms today, there are issues with technology implementation. One technology implementation issue is academic dishonesty. One way I will help resolve this issue in my future classroom would be to fully educate my students about how to properly cite their work. If not eduacted on the subject, it is hard to understand that you are being academically dishonest
