 I selected the standard of Explore Hardware compatibility requirements. The standard is talking about how to disassemble and assemble a desktop, what each hardware does in the computer and how all of them affect the performance of the computer.  The standard also talks about how network and Wi-fi work and the different components that make it word in our world today.  I feel mildly prepared, I feel like I can learn more in detail about the parts of a desktop and how they function, but in general I know the hardware of the computer.  I also know how to disassemble and do simple repairs to your computer. I would also have to learn more about how the network works in general. Overall I would be fine taking this class. 


I used the video resource of Alexander Hamilton: The Outsider. This video presents students with a portion of Alexander Hamilton’s book and the student discusses how it relates to his life and values.  The students will specifically focus on civic virtue and how Alexander Hamilton aligns with that idea.  This resource can be used in class for 8th grade. While it might seem advanced it allows the students to view the writing and life of an influential man in history. The discussion will also allow students to explore the topic of civic virtue through a fun discussion between themselves and then presenting their findings to the class. The video can be used to present the discussion to the class and make it easier to understand the point of the assignment. 


It’s really important to be a proficient Internet searcher as a teacher, because your voice influences young people. The information you provide and teach to students needs to be accurate and factual.  While the resources and textbooks are provided, you need to have your voice and add to the textbook but make sure its accurate.  The most important skill to know for a teacher is the credibility of the source.  They need to know if the source is unbiased and recent so that their information is accurate. Also sources from websites such as gov or org are more accurate as they come from official government or organization sources. If they provide the wrong information to a child it might greatly affect them in the future and this information might affect how their perceive the information in the future.

I hope to learn how to utilize technology in classrooms to help students learn. I want to learn about the different tools that teachers can use and also about the methods that they use to prevent student distractions. I would love to learn how to work these systems more efficiently and how to connect projectors or setup smartboards.  I will apply it in the future for my professor position, and it will help me with my professional as well as personal learning and work related to technology in class.  I grew up in an digital age so I have a lot of experience using computers and smartboards in school.  In middle school we learned how to use the computer and often used it for a lot of classes. It supported education but also made it hard to focus on the class with all the distractions. The use of smartboards helped the teacher with teaching as they didn't have to use chalkboards and made it easier to present information to students. In high school, a lot of homework and class...

My experience with Word has always been divided. On one hand I like the multitude of functions it has compared to other software.  Like they more advanced page setups, AI integration, and just more play and ability to work with your design. On the other hand a lot of its functions are clunky and its not super friendly. All through my high school years I was mainly using Google Docs due to its simplicity and accessibility. I didn't need to buy a subscription or go through an app and multiple steps to write my paper. Google docs was just far more convenient. My worst experience with Word would be when I was working on a business project and any one small change to a page made everything change too, it might have been due to inexperience but that experience has been stuck with me.  Also whenever I tried to pdf the file everything would move around too much. That's why I stuck with Docs for majority of my high school years. At FSU after getting more accustomed and used to Microsof...

  My experience with blogging so far has been mixed. I think I like to write blogs and I would like to develop this skill further. At the moment I like the ability to express my voice in writing, as well as develop my writing skills. These skills could help me in my career as well as school life. I don’t like blogging because of the mental blocks you can have, especially with writing something creative or not factual that you can go off.  As of right now it's not that bad, because I have a prompt to write about.  I have learned a lot from blogging but most importantly I have learned to express and format my thoughts on paper. It helped me learn how to do that best and what programs I can have in writing. I also learned how to manage my work and write every week which you would generally do with a blog or any content uploading.  My experience and thoughts on AI in classrooms is divisive. On one hand it allows a lot of methods and tools for creative or organizational l...
