"A New Beginning " by namestartswithj89 is licensed under CC BY 2.0 . In this class, I hope to become more acclimated with various technologies that can be utilized in the classroom. Many of my friends have told me I should be a teacher, so I wanted to take this class in the case that I choose to be an educator one day. I especially want to learn more about Excel since it is not a platform I am particularly comfortable with. Overall, I am excited to play around with Canva and visualize what it may be like to be a teacher. Perhaps, I will gain more clarity about my future through this class. In terms of experience with technology, I have always loved Canva. The templates are easy to use and having a Canva Pro account through FSU is an awesome resource to have. Additionally, I am familiar with MS Word and PowerPoint. However, I would not say I am an expert to I am excited to expand my skills on those platforms this semester. My personal learning network has n...

To satisfy contrast I made the header a white bar with black text that reads “Ms. Solondz’s 4th Grade ELA." For the yellow background below the header, I used a white box with deep blue text so the writing would still stand out. Most of the informative pieces of the website are black text on an off-white gray background. For the element of repetition, I used consistent text fonts and sizes across my website.

I used alignment most prominently on the Announcements page where I added spaces above the text so it would sit in the centerline of each correlating image. My examples of using the element of proximity can be seen in the added spacers betwee...

For as long as I can remember, I have always used MS Word in both my secondary and post-secondary education. I feel as though many of my classmates prefer Google Docs, but I prefer MS Word. Perhaps this is due in part to the fact that I was never familiarized with Google Docs. Both applications work similarly, so when I am asked to use Google Docs, it's not a difficult transition. However, I suppose I like to stick to MS Word unless otherwise asked. The ITSE Standard that stood out to me the most was Analyst. This is because I think using data to inform decision to inform decisions and adjust approaches is an important skill. I think applying analytics shows elements of growth and flexibility that are important to teaching. I also believe that data has the opportunity to pull in some of the other ITSE standards through collaborative feedback and design improvement. In turn, allowing a teacher to begin a better citizen and leader of their classroom. In terms of the label "dig...
