So far, I have loved using Twitter for this class. Prior to taking this course, I had never considered Twitter to be an educational resource because I had only used it for social/fun purposes. However, it has been a great way to connect with fellow students in this class. I like to see their ideas and shared articles and how they are managing the assignments of this class. I have not experienced any issues because Twitter was already familiar to me so it was very convenient and comfortable to begin using it in my academic life. I thoroughly enjoyed the Web Page Design assignment, it really made me excited to be a teacher one day. It made me envision how life would be to have my own class and accomplish teachers tasks. I can see how having a class website would be helpful because you can have everything in one place and it is very accessible for parents and students. I would be able to post pictures from the class that the parents would enjoy as well as make important announcements th...

The ISTE standard that I feel most comfortable with is "facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity". I have grown up in an era consumed with technology and I am used to having it at my fingertips as a tool to you to my advantage at any given time.

Standards that I would need more learning for are ones like "design and develop digital age learning experiences and assessments". This seems like a daunting task for me because I do not feel quite confident enough in my technology skills to be being inventive with th...

I think that Web 2.0 technologies can be very useful in a classroom setting. YouTube was used very often in my educational experience from K-12, teachers would find educational videos related to our lesson and pull them up to play. It is a useful visual aid to support some of the lessons and perhaps make it more interesting. I have never used a blog in a classroom setting previous to this course but I can now see how it is a helpful classroom tool as well. I like that we can all see each other's responses and everything is in one place. Twitter has also proven to be a useful Web 2.0 technology so far this semester. It is helpful to be so connected to my classmates in the form of an app that is so familiar and easy to use. https://www.scribd.com/?utm_source=adwords_brand&utm_campaign=Google_Search_Alpha_Brand_US&utm_term=scribd&utm_device=c&gclid=Cj0KCQjw09zOBRCqARIsAH8XF1bFYasNS9o1hjT6rzu3wRzK5YgPEfU6JFmL7ePnqbnLiBJENquqhXAaAhx3EALw_wcB "Scribd" seems l...
