Blog Journal 5

 

    My early experiences using Twitter was in ninth grade. I used to follow my friends on Twitter and soon everyone in my school was on Twitter. In the future, Twitter would be helpful in order to make announcements about upcoming events. In my opinion, I believe that Twitter is a good platform for news and other information that you can't find on the internet. I followed the president from the beginning of his campaign until the end and I learned so much about the government through his series of tweets. I believe the freedom of speech that Twitter gives someone allows people to know more about the world around them. 

    The digital divide affects student success in school because it separates age groups and social classes in my opinion. In learning, the goal is to learn from someone older than you in order to understand the importance of the transference of wisdom. Under the rise of social media and the rise of expensive smartphones people are more into watching the videos on their screens than paying attention to teachers and lecturers. Because of this divide, in my opinion, people will learn differently and teachers may soon find it more challenging to relate to children since this phenomenon has only begun in recent years. Short attention spans from cell-phones are the most evident is one of the most obvious observations in the modern generation of school students.

    In my future classroom, I want smartboards. The software tools I expect to use in my future classroom would be Microsoft and Google OS. I like Google OS because it is simple and easy to use. I think that by using Google OS students will have an easier time learning how to type and internet safety. Microsoft, in my opinion, is the best platform for young students to use because it has excel and other things that young entrepreneurs will need to know how to use once they leave school and enter the job world. It is necessary to train young brains on how to use tools that will need for their own companies as well as working for different companies.

My Blog Journal      Hi, my name is Heshawin Gilleg and I love soccer because it is more exciting than most team sports that I watch on television. I grew up in a small town just outside of Tallahassee and later moved to Tallahassee for school. I love dining and robots. My major is Business Psychology and my minor is in English.      Prior to this class, I did not know a lot regarding computers. Recently I read about the internet and how cybercrimes occur over extensive email hacks that happen more regularly than someone would guess. I have used school laptops and other devices for research in my major. I have participated in several studies where the focus was on how the length of time someone can consume while concentrating on a task without checking their phone.      The learning resources that I use around the university are the considerate tutors that are conveniently located online and often if my class has teachers assistants they are more than essential to stretch out to help w

Blog Journal Two      My experience Microsoft Word in kindergarten has evolved so much since then. In kindergarten, I loved games on the computer and then one day the teacher showed us Microsoft Word and taught us to spell simple words on the computer. Since then, I have improved and grown on to love word processing software. Google Docs is much more efficient to use in my opinion since it allows two people to work on one Word Document instead of having to send the document to someone else and wait for them to send it back. It is definitely an innovative approach to writing.       A standard from the ISTE standards list that means the most to me is the Citizen standard which states, "Educators inspire students to positively contribute to and responsibly participate in the digital world." I believe the best way to teach is to lead by example and from that model, everyone can follow and motivate someone else in their own preferred method. In my own words, it is the educator
