EME 2040: Blog #7
Class Website
As a future teacher, I
would 100% incorporate a class website. Technology is increasingly more and
more ingrained into the classroom, and it is hard to deny students love for
their technological devices. Students are already on their device so might as
well provide help on the platform they are used to and support. I think it is
very important to have a “hub” for all students go to for any and all
information they need regarding the classroom. Assignment details, calendar,
important announcements, and resources are the main things I would include. Overall,
while not required, a website is taking it a step above to provide information
to your students on a relatable level.
Professional Technology Use
Technology has crept
its way into the professional world and has become a staple for many
organizations, companies, and employers. As a future teacher, technology is
something I will be using daily to keep my classroom running smoothly. Before I
dive deep into my career, I would want to educate myself in the best way
possible about being professional when it comes to using technology. Whether this
is webinars, conferences, or courses. I would also want to continue to educate
myself as technological changes and advances are made.
Web Evaluation
The web evaluation assignment
really opened my eyes to how many sources that we all use that may not be
credible. In order to have a credible source there are a lot of boxes you need
to check off before trusting that information. But we were all raised in such a
technology focused time-period that we all believe most things we read on the
internet. It made me become more aware of the cites I am using for research and
if I should really trust what they are saying or not. Overall, this assignment
better prepared me for my own future research as well as guiding students
through safe research.
Peer’s Post
I commented on Alina’s
Blog (2/22) and Hayley’s Blog (2/22).
Your checklist is nicely constructed! It definitely hits on all the points it needs to. I also agree with what you said about keeping up with technology in the professional world. Great post, Mallory!
ReplyDeleteMallory, I think that your blog post this week is great! I completely agree that I will absolutely create a teacher website when I am a full time teacher. I also really appreciate that you want to be as professional as possible when using technology as an educator. I think that is extremely important, especially when parents are viewing your online presence. And also, I think that your website evaluation form looks very thorough.
ReplyDeleteHi Mallory! I really like that you referred to a class website as a sort of "hub" for learning--I really like this term for it. While it does take a little extra effort on the teacher's end, I totally agree that it is worth it because it creates a space where students can easily access resources and information regarding the class!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that it is hard to deny students love for their technological devices.
