 One standard from the CPALMS website that I found interesting was SC.912.TI.1.6. This standard explores the impact that technology has on personal life. This includes smartwatches, AI, computers, digital currency, and all other forms of technology seen in society today. I do not have sufficient experience with technology to effectively teach this standard, as I am not as digitally literate as I would like to be. I do not know much about digital currency or AI, so I am not equipped to teach others about technology. 

In the CPALMS toolkit, I found several tools that may be useful when I become a teacher. One that stood out to me was the CPALMS Code app, which allows students to explore coding through an online lab. When I learned more about this Code app, I saw that it is very interactive and would be a great tool for engaging students. Having access to tools like this when I become a teacher will be helpful to ensure I am teaching the standard in an interactive way to my students.

Being a proficient internet searcher is a skill that is beneficial for teachers. Educators constantly need to find reliable information, lesson plan ideas, updated standards, and tools for themselves and students. This week for EME2040, I learned about Google's advanced search area, which I will definitely use from now on. I was not aware of this going into this class, but now I use it for almost everything because it only gives reliable and peer-reviewed sources.

       I had never created a website before starting this assignment, and I learned a lot from the experience. learned how to navigate the website Weebly, and the instructions given to me by my professor made this assignment easy to complete. In this assignment, I became very proficient at linking websites in a Word format, so it doesn't detract from the aesthetic of the website. I used the design principle of white space to focus the reader's attention on the words that are written to help them navigate through the website. I enjoyed the newness of this assignment, since it was something I had never done before, but finding images to fill the website's pages was difficult. When I become a teacher, I would like to put more time and energy into creating a website for my students and their parents to refer to if they ever have any questions, and I am not available to answer right away.     A creative way I can use QR codes in my classroom is by having a galle...

"citizen engagement"  by Rootworks  is licensed under CC BY-ND 4.0     All throughout my K-12 years, I used only Google platforms. This included Google Docs, Google Slides, etc., and I was never comfortable using Microsoft software. When I first came to college, I was nervous to use Microsoft because I was not comfortable navigating it yet, but after having done numerous assignments, I can confidently say I enjoy using Microsoft more than Google. I believe that the Microsoft tools pair better with my Windows laptop than the Google platform, and there are many more user-friendly tools in Microsoft.     The ISTE Standard for Education that is most meaningful to me is 2.2, which describes citizenship. In an almost completely digital world, students must learn how to be good digital citizens. The world will not move backwards in the development of technology, so we will only become more online as time goes on. In one of my education classes, I learned that the...
