 Hi everyone!

    The standard I chose was under Body of Knowledge: Computer Science and Computer Practices and Programming, "Identify different kinds of data: texts, charts, graphs, numbers, pictures, audio, video, and collection of objects." This benchmark implies that you are able to distinguish among a variety of data that is being displayed in different ways. For example, a chart would be organized with rows/columns that allow the information to be divided. Graphs can have bars that visually show the difference between data sets. Based on my current skill set, I would be able to implement this standard because I have taken certain classes that have given me preparation. In high school and college I took statistics, both of them prepared me for reading data. 

    The resources can easily be used in my teacher if I am ever stuck on how to present a topic or even for brainstorming a topic to teach. For example, the CPALMS Educator Toolkit provides the standards, lesson plans, and benchmarks for topics. It also provides teachers with activities and student resources to help them in their classroom. I think this is very beneficial for all teachers and should definitely be used. 

    It is relevant to be a proficient Internet searchers as a teacher because teachers must be able to find reliable and relevant information quickly. This is crucial for lesson plans as teachers can get ideas from online resources (such as CPALMS). Internet searching skills that I will definitely take with me moving forward include the evaluation of resources and refining search results. For example, as a teacher you must only use reliable resources and reputable sites. Other websites can be giving false information that you would not want to relay to your students. For refining search results, sometimes you need to word something differently to find what you need. This is important for teachers in finding what they need quickly.

 Hi everyone!      Throughout my K-12 years, I did not use Microsoft Word too much. We relied on Google Classroom to submit our work which we completed on Google Docs. My K-12 experience consisted on using Google everything. This includes the two I just mentioned, Google Slides, Google Sheets, and Google Forms. At Florida State University, I was able to use Microsoft Word a lot especially for my freshman English class. Later on for my education courses and human development, my teachers also required us to use MS. Another great program on MS is PowerPoint. I am currently in the process of a group presentation where we are using PowerPoint to present our topic in my Teaching Diversity course. This allows for an easy and organized presentation, as my group and I are able to work on the slides separately as long as the creator shared everything. Overall, my experience with MS has allowed me to complete schoolwork while staying organized!     The ISTE Standards for Educators are a framewor

 Hi everyone!      In my opinion, when it comes to dealing with copyright and fair use, especially as a teacher, you must provide your students with strict rules and consequences if they do not abide to using their own original work. Consequences can include talking to their parents, grade reductions, meetings with the principal, etc. I think students working in groups is a great idea for them to share what they know and brainstorm new concepts, but sometimes when it comes to assignments, students will write word for word what their partner submits. As a teacher, I would have students share their ideas out loud with one another, but have them submit their work independently so it is in their own words.      One technology issue includes cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is defined as individuals using digital platforms to bully others. This form of bullying can include harassment, intimidation, or possibly even threats. In my future classroom, a way to abolish cyberbullying would be to have
