 In this class I hope to learn more about technology and its relation to teaching. I want to have a better understanding of how to balance utilizing technology in a classroom and other learning techniques. Another thing I want to learn is different useful technology options teachers can use in a classroom to help their students learn. I will apply this in my future because if I do become a teacher all of these potential things I want to learn would help me be a better teacher that helps ensure all my students are learning what they need to learn. 

Technology is such an important aspect in education, so being aware how to use it and incorporate it in the classroom is vital for a teachers success. Some prior experience using technology in schools consist of have assigned so computers, taking test online, when COVID happened I took classes strictly through zoom, using canvas, these are just a few examples. Overall, technology can be useful and necessary in all classrooms. 

Something that I like to learn about is issues surrounding child welfare or the juvenile justice system. I also have a hobby I just started that I have enjoyed learning, I play pickle ball. I constantly look up articles  on policies and issues pertaining to the criminal justice system or foster care. I like to stay up on the news via online. For pickle ball I looked up the rules and how you play on YouTube.

The next thing I added was incorporating my instagram through embedding the profile. Lastly I added a map through weebly, I have never done this before but now I understand how it works. I liked being able to use the website, however, I found the overall assignment confusing and difficult to complete. I do not think weebly was very easy to work with, I feel like on a different platform I might have more success. I do believe website will be useful in my career because it is an easy way to share important and up to date information with parents.  2.) I would use QR codes in my classroom by having one...

 I have never had an issue using MS word in the past, however, I prefer using Pages. In high school and college I have always had to use MS word, but I still used Pages because it is easier for me to navigate and I could just export it to a word document. Overall, if I have to use Word I would never be opposed to it and would still be able to navigate it almost as well as Pages. I prefer pages because since I got my computer it naturally had this software, so I just starting using and became more comfortable with it.  The ISTE Standards for Educators I chose was 2.7 Analyst, this standard says that teachers are responsible for ensuring that their students receive the correct in formation through technology to enhance their learning. A question I still have is what are some techniques teachers can do to ensure they support their students? An idea I have for this standard is to make sure that the way teachers deliver the data is easy to understand for the students. This was mean...
