Techy things!

^Class Website

 Hey there! We're back and better than ever! Blog journal #7 let's jump right right into it shall we :D

So for classroom websites I found a pretty neat one that seems to be a great example of a website I'd find exemplary to have as a teacher in the future! Here it is! The website displays an assortment of awesome things and learning tools that are organized for easy access to students and/or parents! On the website you can find, weekly newsletters, student learning bloggings, fun activities and challenges, special events/important info to keep up with, research resources, assignments, books to explore, designated topics for each day of the week... ex: Monday Readings, Wednesday Math, Quick-write Fridays etc. The website is so easy to navigate and I love how engaging it is by promoting these fun learning interactions like math and reading challenges! The student blog posts are also a huge plus because every student has their own and the parents of said student can easily keep up with their child's schooling progression!

In terms of how I envision myself using technology for my own professional benefit in the future... I'm not particularly looking into becoming a teacher per say, though it has always remained an option open for consideration to me... I  more so would like to work in the entertainment industry, whether that being film or music! And frankly enough I think that technology will be an extremely vital part to my job! Nowadays, practically everything in the industry is run and controlled by social media, so whether I get involved in marketing, designing, PR, etc. I will most likely have to use tools like Instagram, to my advantage. Now in the case I do become a teacher, I definitely would consider using interactive tools like Kahoot to encourage the possibility of learning in a fun manner!

As for PBworks ummm hahaha... I don't have much to say about because I actually never used it lol! I never got the confirmation email from PBworks, therefore I could not activate my account... leading my group and I to having to complete our website evaluation assignment on a Google Doc. Though I have yet to use the website, once I do... which will be whenever they decide to send me that confirmation email, I think my stance on whether the website is good or not will be a bit biased considering what I have already experienced with it! I do however believe that website might actually be quite useful, considering the examples shown in class of others' website evaluations, but I think their might be better options of tools similar to it that would be more efficient... because PBworks just seems a bit ancient to me, for lack of better words lol. 

And I have run out of words. My brain is mush. Time to go! Catch ya later alligator!

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 ...

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...
