A little less babble, a little more tattle.

 HEYOOOO!!! Paola's in the house!!! Can I get an OWA OWA!!!

Ok stop... note to self: try to be less cringey. Got it. Moving swiftly along...

Today I will legitimately try to not right as much. I just get so carried away with myself and I start babbling like there'd be no tomorrow and I have to just vomit out every single thought that's living rent-free in my brain. But that's not the case because we will have tomorrow, and we will certainly have many more blog posts... so from now on I'll try my best to space out my babbling in a progressive manner that might be a bit less annoying. Thoughts? Yes. I completely agree. Glad we're on the same page... but one thing you should know about me is that I'm really good at breaking the promises that should be broken.  I failed. I'm babbling. UGH JUST LET ME BABBLE! 

On a more serious note... COPYRIGHT! Now what is it exactly? Well to put it simple it's kind of like this permission slip that safeguards people's work and allows you to use it if you'd like. For example... music! I were to post an adorable montage of myself on YouTube with a One Direction Song playing in the background... it'd be taken down because I don't have the rights to that song, I don't have a permission slip! Unless Harry Styles were to single-handedly tell me I could use it (which is never bound to happen not even in a different universe), ya can't take what's not yours to take! Fair use on the other hand is like a makeshift permission slip! It's like if I were to accidentally lose a bathroom pass at school (which has happened to me plenty of times might I add) and you had to scurry and make another one, and the teacher would know you did, but she'd still accept it because it won't do no harm! If I were a teacher honestly I'd just stick to original work... it's awesome to feel heavily inspired by artists to the point where you'd want to almost follow into their footsteps and be just like them... but you also need to grow on your own and find yourself as an individual that will allow you to create work that seems similar to those of others... there's only one Harry Styles in this world... nobody else can be him!

Cyberbullying jeez... such a touchy subject, but then again, not touched upon enough. To say the least it is incredibly dangerous and harmful. The internet is such a privilege, but if put into the wrong hands, it could be so misused. I think I'm quite old school, and I'd like to think I'd be a more kind of hands-on, present, no technology teacher, but there are times where it is required... and in my classroom at least, I'd implement specific rules for the HOMEWORK ONLY apps we'd use... such as Edmodo etc. As for Decreased productivity, from a straight- A student's perspective who feels like she's been out of it for an entire year, thanks to be good friend Corona... I think it's important to make a class feel fun, interact with your students, joke a little in class, but teach them well, allude things in class to things in life that will worth be remembering, give anecdotes, be fun! I wouldn't sit there and read out of a book the whole class and give my students I five-page essay assignment on what I discussed on in class. I'd encourage them to listen because my class would be fun! I'd give fun pop quizzes! Etc!

I have to be as quick as possible because I have a lot to do and little time left aghhh! Honestly the newsletter project helped me adapt to Word a lot more even though I already thought I was which is funny... I learned how to use tools that I never even knew how to use or never even touched in my many years of using it. I had never used columns before... THAT IS CRAZY!!! It definitely was a great project to further fortify my skills in Word as it is a tool I use everyday and will be using even more often! And the project was fun! Yay!

OK BYE!!

What day is it again?

 Hello! I feel like it's been FOREVER since I've blogged! Huh. Weird. I find it so bizarre how I've literally just lost all perception of time over quarantine. A week feels like 3 days and 3 days can sometimes feel like a week! It's either that or I literally don't even know what day, or even month it is for that matter. Anyways... moving swiftly along! Websites! I actually really enjoyed creating my website! It was the second one I had ever made, and though I am not the techiest person, and adjusting to new tools like Weebly can take a bit of time for me, I love being creative and just designing in general! So I found this assignment to be oh so resourceful! I loved being able to center my website around something I'm very experienced with, that being Dance, therefore I was able to make the website as professional as possible taking after my dance teachers in high school of course, and all of the things they did for our class, like assignments, events, and what...

A not-so-peppy Paola

 Hi there! We're back in business! First blog post of the month wooohoooo!  I'm actually genuinely drained haha! But it's okay I'll push through :) It's been quite rough recently motivation-wise, so you won't get to read all that extra babble my working brain likes to just spit out for fun and my witty sarcasm, not to mention my exceptional entertainment skills... because my brain is quite fried! But still here we are... plain and simple just keeping up with my work! Onto the assignment let's go! Technology standards! I chose the second grade because I'd love to teach elementary school kids! This specific standard talks about how students must use all of the knowledge they collected from pictures and words in digital texts/books in order to demonstrate their understanding of the story and its details. This standard leans towards, but is not limited to: online storybook readers, online poster creators, online comic strip creators etc. In my opinion, this ...
