Journal Entry Chapter 7:


 

    Educators have many responsibilities when it comes to helping students navigate information online. Educators need to support students in learning about research online and how to use their research skills. They also need to teach them to be aware of risks online whether that be protecting their privacy, cyberbullying, and having the knowledge about avoiding online scams. Alongside of these, educators also need to teach students how to check the credibility of online sources so that the student isn't misinformed on topics or subjects. 

    This matters more than ever due to a variety of reasons. For starters, there are many biased opinions online that ultimately is considered misinformation and students need to be educated on that while doing research and presenting said research. Another reason that plays into this is due to how cyberbullying is so common in todays world and it's important that students understand that and learn ways on how to avoid or reduce the chances of that happening to them. It's also important because learning how to engage professionally and responsibility online is a tool that can help students within their academic success, especially when they have to cite sources and present information that they research.

Journal Entry Chapter 3:

      I always had mixed feelings about standardized testing when I was younger. It would make me really nervous to take tests because I never wanted to do poorly so that always motivated me to do my best but it also stressed me out a lot during the test taking because I would always doubt my answers and that made me take more time on each question. When I was younger, my test taking abilities weren't always a strength of mine and even today sometimes I struggle with that but I would like to say that I've progressed myself in being a better test taker. There was never really a particular test that I enjoyed taking, but the English portion was one that I always did the best in. I've always enjoyed writing since I was young, so I did like to do the writing portion at the end of standardized testings because writing was always enjoyable to me. When the Pandemic started, I was super nervous because our school went completely online during that time and I have never been good ...

           In today's world, technology plays a huge role in classrooms now, so I feel that technology integration could pose as a challenge to me as a future teacher. Since COVID-19, technology has been implemented in classrooms and schools as a whole so much more than what it used to be. Technology has become an important tool within schools because it is now another version for how students learn. When you look around in schools now compared to years ago, you see chrome books, digital whiteboards, artificial intelligence, tablets, and much more.          I definitely feel that this could be a challenge for me as I consider myself to be a more traditional learner. I have never really been tech-savvy and have always loved the traditional use of pencil and paper. Besides using my phone, laptops and computers have definitely never been a strength of mine. During COVID, I had struggles learning how to use my chrome book whether that b...

    When I imagine myself teaching a lesson about a favorite hobby, I would imagine teaching a lesson on something creative like painting or drawing.       This lesson could be a window to students because it could give students who don't really gravitated towards painting or drawing the opportunity to explore expressing their creativity. They could observe their classmates paint and draw to learn new ways that could make it more fun. I could also use this lesson as an opportunity to help students be more engaged and interested in the art process. For example, I could show them what happens when they mix colors, like how blue and red makes the color purple. This could help expand their art techniques and learn something they may have not known before.      This lesson could also be a mirror to students because they could use their artwork to connect meaningful things or experiences. For example, they could draw artwork of their family members...
