 While learning about the Florida Computer Science Standards, I chose to learn about the them in the grades k-2 specifically. The standard that stuck out to me was the one about communication and collaboration. This standards basically is what it sounds like, to help students communicate in a better manner and help students to collaborate with other more easily. As I work with kids younger than this age now I feel as though I am more than prepared to teach my kids how to interact with each other and with me as their teacher. 

For this portion of the blog, I decided to choose the grade level of first, and teaching mathematics. When I clicked on these requirements, I was lead to a page where it gave me some great insight. Something I found was called a "Double Bubble Venn Diagram to Compare Math Concepts". This is set up as a normal Venn diagram where you put two separate subjects in two different bubbles and see what is similar between them and what's different. Using this in a classroom setting can really help students to learn concepts and differentiate between two that can be very similar and confusing.

Internet searching is something that I have never thought to be a complicated concept but it can be very useful if you learn to use it properly. This week we learned that using key words and leaving out excessive words can be very beneficial. By doing this, internet searches that might not help will be left out and will leave you with mostly what you are looking for. Internet searching can be a very useful tool when used correctly and this has honestly changed the way I research anything.

Microsoft word has made such an impact on how I and a big majority of people have learned to organize their school, work, and or personal writings. Throughout my school years k-12 (mostly middle through high school) my schools wanted us to use google docs to do all of our assignments. I personally think that MS Word is much easier to use and allows for more creativity when it comes to fonts, colors, and anything else you could think of. While being at FSU I have had the opportunity to get a free membership with MS Word and it is much easier to use in my opinion and this is my preferred way of doing assignments and taking notes.  While the ISTE standards cover students, educators, education leaders, and coaches, today we will focus on educators. I believe the most important standard for educators to have is to be a leader in their classroom. This means that they should share with the class what their vision is and do their very best to put the best foot forwards for their students. ...

 This class has introduced me to the new resource of Diigo. I honestly do not have a clear cut decision made on if I like it or not yet just because I have not used it enough. It seems pretty easy use, I am just a little technologically challenged so any new website is difficult for me to navigate and get the hang of. I really like that whenever you go to post something there is a big blu plus sign, can't miss it. I also like how it allows you to react to comments and not just reply with a comment. I am not going to lie, I was not excited that we would have to post blogs in this class, but it has slowly become one of my favorite assignments to do. With blogging, I feel like I can truly just speak what's on my mind and not worry about if it "sounds smart enough", or if my teacher will like it. Blogging has helped me just write down my feeling on certain subjects and I am very thankful for that. I have learned that blogging is supposed to be a fun way to let other know ...

 Hello, My name is Tori Morris. I am a junior in college and plan on graduating next spring in 2025. I grew up in a family with a mother and father and one older brother who is two years older than me. I grew up being very close to my family and it has remained that way even though we have all grown and moved away from each other. I grew up playing sports, and involved in a lot of clubs throughout my k-12 life. These experiences made me realize that I am very interested in working with people when I have a full time job. I am currently pursuing a degree in Human Development and Family Sciences with  two seperate minors in Education and Biology. I do not know what I want to do with my life yet but I have th mentality that everything will fall into place when it is supposed to.  While I was going through the k-12 school system, this was a time when technology being integrated into to schools was a very big step for students. I want to say I was in about 7th grade when they ...
