GICA 1: Blog Setup


Hello my name is Emmy! I am majoring in elementary education because I love kids! I hope to be a 3rd grade teacher in the future. I also love hanging out with my friends and family. My favorite food is tacos!
I have had two prior experiences with technology! The first was a computer class I took my sophomore year of high school. We learned all about PowerPoint and Word. The second class I took my senior year of high school. We learned all about how to make apps and websites! I really enjoyed taking both classes.
I hope to learn more about Word, Excel and PowerPoint because I use these in my every day life. I think it would be helpful to know all about these especially when I become a teacher and will really need this. In college I use Word for every class, especially English when I am writing papers so I hope to learn even more about Word. I really like technology so I am very excited for what is to come in this class and to be able to learn more things that I never knew!!

    Hi Emmy, nice to meet you! I hope you will have fun taking this class because it should resonate with your prior learning experience. In addition, I wish to take you guys further than pure techs but how to make the best use of them.

I think Excel is great for teachers. It can easily help them to average grades, see if students are passing or failing, find out the minimum and maximum of grades and much more. I really like using Excel and I think it will be very useful when I become a teacher. Excel is great for many different things to do as a teacher. I really liked the topic on PowerPoints. I liked getting the different perspectives of everyone in class. I liked to read about what everyone liked about it and did not like. I really enjoy PowerPoint and being able to use it for many different things. I thought it was interesting to see if other classmates like it as well. I would like to learn more about Google Docs and forms. I think these are great ways to be able to use in the classroom, but I do not know much about them so, if I were to learn more about them then I would probably use them a lot in the classroom. You can do a lot with these applications I would love to go over and see what it is all like to se...

I really liked Diigo. I liked how I could read the article and annotate it. I also liked that we could put comments on things that we highlighted. I did not like how we have to download it and have to have chrome for it to be applicable. The app is overall a great thing to have for teachers and students when needing to annotate an article. I have not really had any past experiences with blogging. I have liked blogging because I can share my experience on here. I do not like how the format of writing a blog is because sometimes it gets confusing. I have learned about a lot of programs that I have to write about that I never knew about. An interesting web 2.0 tool to me is Google Classroom. I think this a great way for students to be able to access assignments and take online quizzes. I can assign students quizzes and assignments and they can easily take them while I watch them in the classroom. This is a great way for me and the students to be able to easily access assignments.

I have used Microsoft Word for a long time as a student. I started using it when I was in elementary school. I used it a lot in high school when I had to write papers as well as in college so far. It has been very helpful when writing papers and having to make resume's and many other things. My teachers also use Word a lot. Many of them use it when doing their lectures or even assigning things and putting the directions on a word document. It has been a huge help with me being a student and also for my teachers using it for many different things. I think a very important thing for a student is citing your sources no matter what. I have been a student for a very long time and even if I use just one sentence from another source I always make sure to cite it. I think plagiarism is a big issue with students these day and I think the issue with this needs to be addressed more. I think as teachers, on the first day of school this should be addressed in a serious matter and to show the i...
