Blog Journal 4
So far, using Twitter has been very interesting! I'm only following accounts related to education technology or FSU, but because of that I get a lot of interesting information relevant to the stuff we're learning in class. I've interacted with other EME2040 students and talked about how we did certain assignments or what we like best about the class. This has been beneficial because I get to see other perspectives of peers in the same position as me and know whether or not I'm on the right track. In the future, I'll be able to use Twitter to connect with other teachers and gain different ideas for how to conduct my classroom.
The digital divide is the divide created between those who have access to computers and the internet and those who don't. In schools, students without computer access at the home are left at a disadvantage when projects that require typing or online presentations are involved. In the classroom, smart phones have started being integrated into lesson plans, so any students without smart phones are left out. As a teacher, I would make sure to allow enough class time to finish any assignment that required computer use at home for students who don't have that luxury. I have also thought about investing in a class iPad for any student without a smartphone to use if we do phone-related activities in class.
Academic software is so accessible across the internet. There are so many free options that are genuinely useful and entertaining for students. As a teacher, I would definitely use Khan Academy and Shepard Software in the classroom. Khan Academy is a great resource to provide lesson plans and videos for students to improve their understanding. Shepard Software is a really fun website that goes over english vocabulary, parts of speech, grammar, and much more in a host of different games. The site is not only fun but educational, and it's a great way to get students involved and excited about english.
