Blog Journal 6

    In my initial experience using Diigo I was very confused. I do not really like using Diigo because I feel as though every topic I look up I cannot find. I am not sure if I am using Diigo wrong but it is not my favorite. I hope to be able to understand it better in the future.

    In my experience with blogging, I have grown to like it. At first I felt a little weird putting my thoughts out there. Now however, I think it is helpful to write out my thoughts and how I feel about different subjects. In the blogging process so far, I have learned how to better formulate my thoughts.

    An interesting Web 2.0 tool I might use while teaching is Youtube. I believe youtube videos can be very helpful in helping students learn about certain topics. I remember watching Youtube videos to learn about conjunctions and it helped me a lot. Below is a link to Youtube.

Blog Journal 5

      In my early experiences using Twitter, I honestly did not know how to work it very well. It took some time to figure out, but once I did, I loved it. I mainly interact with my friends and accounts I find funny. I find the funny pages beneficial to me because they always brighten my day. I also love following inspirational quote pages. These are beneficial to me because they tell me what I need to hear and also brighten my day. Twitter might be helpful in my future career because I could interact with other teachers from all over the country, share ideas, and get advice from them.     The digital divide highly affects student success in schools. Students who grew up around technology are at an advantage compared to students who did not grow up around technology. Some causes of the digital divide are income gaps. Students who are from poor families might not have as much access to technology as students who come from higher income families. This might affect my teaching strategies

    In my past educational experiences, I have used Microsoft Word many times. I learned how to use it in middle school in our computer lab, and that is where we would go to write our papers and print them. In highschool I almost always used MS Word, as well as, in college MS Word is primarily all I use. I have also used Google Docs but I feel more comfortable using MS Word. I do prefer how Google Docs lets you share the same document; however, I have used MS Word more and believe it is easier to save and transfer files on.     The ISTE Standard for Educators that is most meaningful to me is "Learner." I believe teachers should learn from their students, as well as, learning new technology and ways of teaching. The "Learner" Standard states how teachers should stay current with research, and I believe this is so important because new ways of teaching are always being created. Some students learn differently from others and may need a different type of teaching to ac

About Casey

     Hi, my name is Casey Daigle and I am from Fort Pierce, FL. I am a sophomore at FSU and I absolutely love it. My major is English Education. I am in the sorority Alpha Phi and I like to participate in events such as Heart Week and Dance Marathon. I love to get involved at school and I truly believe FSU is the right fit for me.     In my prior experiences of using technology in an education setting, I have worked with computers, laptops, and ipads. Throughout elementary and middle school we had computer skills classes to help us learn the basics of Microsoft Word and Powerpoint etc. In middle school and high school, our schools provided the students and teachers with ipads. Now, in college I use a laptop to do my homework.     Some learning resources I regularly use to support my learning needs and goals are libraries, study groups, and the internet. I love going to Strozier Library right on FSU's campus to get my work done. It is a nice quiet place and helps me focus more than
