 Surveys are a great tool for teachers to gather information from students and parents to better assist their students. Most people would use end of the course surveys which is a great way to get feedback from students to see what material and education they received was meaningful. Another great use of surveys would be to send a survey to parents at the beginning of the year to see their preferred modes of communication. I would wend out surveys on a weekly basis asking students for a couple of things that they learned in class this week.

It was interesting going through my classmates blogs and seeing some of the information that they are taking away from these assignments. The nice thing about this class is we are a pretty blended group who all come from different backgrounds. We also have different levels of experience creating things like class websites and interactive PowerPoints. I enjoyed reading in particular their feedback in blog post 9 about how they are navigating distance learning. We are all in the same boat when it comes to approaching this very unknown and specific situation and hearing how each person is dealing with it is extremely helpful.

One skill that I have always wanted to become proficient at is video editing because I believe it can benefit a multitude of people. Videos are an easy way to make information sharing fun and exciting. Educating people or students through this platform makes information more accessible and more engaging. Material also seems to sink in more when it is listened to and viewed at the same time. Video editing would help make the viewing experience better and keep people engaged in the material.

 Creating the website was like many of my previous experiences creating websites but it helped me sharpen my creative skills. I have made many websites for school projects but I had never had to embed google calendars within the website. Utilizing calendars has not necessarily been my forte but whenever I do use them it helps me stay organized. I liked the design aspect of creating the website and making sure there was congruence and consistency throughout the website. Moving into my career the google calendar aspect of this website will help me stay organized and create consistency for my own schedule. https://dstarnes00.weebly.com/ My experience with Diigo prior to this class was little to none. Using Diigo was extremely helpful when finding websites, sharing them, and then annotating. Annotating websites is not something I have done in the past and didn't really see the benefit to. However, I found the process was very easy and helpful when you need to share media found on websi

I have been using word ever since elementary school when I was first assigned a digital writing assignment. I have been able to draft hundreds of essays with it as well as create flyers, a few brochures, and lettering for poster boards. Word is by far the best word processor that I have used and prefer it over pages and Google Docs. The ISTE standards equip teachers for the effective implementation digital strategies that will enhance learning and teaching as well as altering the digital world. One of the standards that stands out to me most is the Facilitator role which empowers kids to take charge of their education. As a teacher you also are responsible for challenging the students and creating learning opportunities using technology. This standard emphasizes

 Using Twitter has not always been a useful experience in that most of the information gathering that I was doing was coming from Google news and various news outlets. Whenever I used Twitter, it seemed like a clunky way to gather inconsistent and rumored material. As of recent, I have been able to use Twitter in a way I actually feel benefits me. Following more Twitter pages that I find interesting has allowed me to get a glance of several social circles that I enjoy. Being able to get early news on new stock market movements and learning about new advances in companies around the world allows me to be more educated in the way I conduct my personal and financial growth. Using Twitter in the future will allow me to stay updated and connect with people as well as update other people on new findings that I might come across. The digital divide is the separation between students who have access to the internet or technological tools and those who do not. As a student this is very importan
