Blog #5

Recently I have been using Diigo. I like how it is so easy to post and see different tools others found interesting. It is an amazing networking sight! It makes it so easy to highlight and take personal notes, without having to have a personal sheet of paper. I love that Diigo allows you to bookmark and save information, and makes it easy to stay organized. It does this by making it possible to search through all your bookmarks. My only complaint with Diigo is that I think initially it was confusing to work, and as visually cluttered. However, after use I realized it was not as hard as I thought.
Blogging has been an experience for me so far. I like how blogging makes me recall what I did in my educational technology this class, and brings me back to how to do everything. I do not like how I feel as if my blogs are so structured, but I love being able to share with everyone what I am learning in my educational technology class! I have learned about the blogging process that it is interesting to see how others respond to the blog posts, and that it is important to stay up to date with the posts. I have also learned that sometimes blog websites will be challenging, but you just have to work through it.
A web 2.0 tool that I would use in my classroom is Skype. Skype is a tool that you can video and live chat with one another. I think this would be so helpful if I could not make it to class, then I would still be able to give my students the lectures.This would be so helpful to ensure the class never got behind. It could also be used for students who are at home to log on to their Skype account, and watch class live. This way they can stay home, but still get the benefits of going to class.My review of Skype would say I think Skype is so nice that you can live chat, and video chat, on many different devices, and you just have to register. It makes it easy for so many people to get involved on the same site in a form of live chat, even if they do not have the same products, like example all apple products or something. Check out Skype below!

    Same here. I also thought Diigo was too complicated first but realized it was not as hard as I thought. :-) I am glad you enjoy Diigoing now!

Blog Post #0 - About Me and Technology

Hello Everyone! My name is Kaylee Curry, and I am a freshman at Florida State University majoring in Elementary Education! I am originally from Lake City, Florida, but now home is in Jacksonville, Florida. I come from a huge family, with twenty first cousins and only two siblings. I love to travel, and have been to twenty-eight countries so far, and have so many more I want to go to! I love watching almost all sports, but basketball and football are definitely my favorites. I love the Warriors ( got to support the Curry family) and love the Jags. (#DTWD) I have used technology in an educational setting for basically my whole life. I was home-schooled until eighth grade, so I relied totally on online schooling.  When I actually went to school, my school used projectors to display information, like many do. I have used many online resources to better my education, with programs such as MyMathLab. This year, I have used iclickers, which is an easier way for teachers to take attend...

Project #3 Blog!

Growing up in a homeschool setting has an effect on all aspects of a students life. I was homeschooled and there are things in my life that were totally different then they were for those who actually went to school. When I got accepted into college, I was expecting for the transition from being homeschooled to actually living away from home to be the most dramatic difference I had ever experienced. Even though I have had so many different adjustments in my life as a result of being homeschooled, I was prepared for this one to be the worst. However, I was happily proven wrong. College is where many kids grow into adults and gain their independence. They learn that things are not revolving around them and people will not cater to them. I felt like I had already had some of that knowledge worked into my brain, because I previously had to teach myself everything, and if something did not work out for me, school wise, it was no ones fault but my own, which I understood. I felt like this...

ILP #2 - Design Google Classroom!

Hi everyone! This week I completed an independent learning project, which is a way to use my own interests to gain professional development in educational technology. I used the tool of GoogleClassroom to create a classroom webpage, where students could go and see all the worksheets they needed to do and when they were due, in all of their classes. They could click on classwork and scroll through each subject to see what is due and when. I really liked how on google classroom there is a stream page to scroll and see all assignments that are due in one place. I attached the link to my google classroom page below, and screenshots of the main page. Link to my Google Classroom: You must log into to google to access, and the CODE is 59imczm https://classroom.google.com/u/0/c/MjYzMjIzMjM2MDNa Screenshot Images of my Google Classroom Website: Thank you for reading!  Kaylee Curry
