In this blog post, I will be discussing common standards for American schools. The ELA technology standards I decided to focus on are the ones for Kindergarten since that is the grade level I am looking to teach. The standards for Kindergarten are to introduce them to digital resources that allow them to produce and publish written documents and comparing them to their peers’ works. I personally do feel as though I can implement this standard into teaching as I am incredibly familiar with writing digitally through MS Word and other word processing programs. The tool I chose to speak on from the CPALMS kindergarten toolkit was the visual arts standard on discussing personal choices in creating art. I would use this in my classroom to give my students an opportunity to get exposed to art and art interpretations so that they can begin to understand artists. I would also use this standard to allow them to get creative and make art of their own during class so that we can discuss why they m...
My experience with Twitter has been good for the most part, though there are highly political times where it becomes too overwhelming to use with raw footage of violent acts and stories of abuse everywhere you swipe.

For this assignment, I visited a few school webpages and one of them was the school webpage Mainland High, the high school that I attended prior to coming to Florida State University. This page did not have a designated link to resources for teachers, only parents and students as well as a brief listing of the faculty and staff. Florida State’s school webpage however offers a page dedicated to providing faculty with the tools and resources as supplements to their teaching. Here, faculty members are able to find resources and information regarding where they are in their career as a faculty member and how to advance forward to receive tenure in the long run. You can see the homepage with the links without having to login and some of the links offer public information as well. As a prospective teacher, I am studying how current faculty use technology and the World Wide Web in their classrooms to their advantage. School webpages like that of Florida State University’s is a great example ...
