     ELA Standards and Technology (Grade K). With the help of adults, to explore an extensive assortment of digital tools in order to achieve writing skills and develop companion support. I feel comfortable implementing this style set into my skill set because I am convinced that I can lead a classroom of kindergartners with my lesson style. I'm more prepared since I've had the time to work around that age group and I understand the necessities that come with that age group. I chose this age group simply because of my prior experience and personally I consider that this is the simplest age group to work with. 

    The tool that I chose to implement in the classroom is the Fluency: Letter-Sound Mix-Up activity. I believe that this exercise would allow my class to engage with one another in an innovative way while also encouraging the love of the English language. For this activity, students will work together to match sounds with letters in order to find out which sounds match which letters. Of course, some letters have the same sounds such as the C' letter and the K' letter. However, with practice and peer assistance, I believe that students will work together to figure this out and become language experts. This exercise is perfect for the kindergarten age group because it would be enjoyable for them and would guide them with language skills that they can develop as they proceed to the next grade level. 

      It is important to know a proficient amount about internet searching in order to adequately find the best results for things you search for on the internet. The skill that I learned this week was how to properly ask search engine questions. Of course, we can type questions with almost incorrect grammar and Google or any other search engine will spit out an answer. However, there is a more refined way to ask your question in order to get the best results. For example, instead of asking Google 'I WANT PIZZA!" you could look up "Best pizza places in Tallahassee." and it will give you a more satisfying answer based on what was advised in that town. There is an internet skill that helps gives people a better answer. I don't know if anyone knew this but Google gives you answers based on your location. If you want the best answers to your google search questions there is a way to turn off your Google geolocation in order to find better answers to your inquiries. It is best to understand that sometimes Google gives us the answer that we want to hear.

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
