    An ELA technology standard for the sixth grade is to explain information in diverse media and formats and translate how it is connected to the student's main point they are reporting about. For this the student will have to be able to make graphs, timelines, video/ media albums, charts, spreadsheets, and a word processing software all online. I feel prepared to implement this standard based on my current skill set. This is because I have been able to develop all these tools to contribute to my school work in the past to connect diverse information to my subject material. 

    The resource that I found for the English Arts subject are detailed, visual tutorials based off of subject matter for the class. I have found that sometimes with certain concepts a teacher is not able to get the student to understand that concept. For example, paraphrasing is something a student may really struggle with grasping and the teacher has tried everything to assist the student. This resource has a video "Planet Paraphrase" which gives the student the opportunity to watch the tutorial with the teacher giving visualizations and details in a new way that may help the student better comprehend the material.

    It is important for a teacher to be a proficient internet searching because a teacher may need to answer a question of their own to then give the answer to class in a timely and successful manner. Also, the teacher does not want to give out an incorrect answer or false information to the class. I was not aware of the advanced search feature that helps you narrow down the amount of answers to your more detailed google search. I will probably use this the most moving forward because of how easy it is to use and of the more direct results.

  Blog Journal #8     New skills that I have acquired from working on the Web Design assignment were all those that went into making a website because I have never created a website before. I liked the creative side of the assignment getting to pick the aesthetic of the website that best embodies my personality. I disliked making up information that is not true, but when teaching a class that will no longer be an issue. In the future I hope to create a website that is easy to use for students and parents of my class establishing an open network between the home and classroom.  http://mscardclass.weebly.com/     New skills I learned from working with Diigo are how to save and bookmark websites to share with others. In the classroom this program can be useful to share carefully selected websites with students for the purposes of bringing education to the digital age. Similarly with how it is useful with students, it is useful for team members because of its ability to share reliable webs

  Blog Post #1      Hi! My name is Amanda Card and I am freshman attending Florida State University currently majoring in Elementary Education. Originally I was born in Maryland, but now when not at school call Sarasota, Florida home. Being in Tallahassee makes me miss the beach, which is something I took for granted when I lived ten minutes away from one, and my dog. Her name is Bella and is a Dalmatian mix who I sadly could not bring to school with me, but I am grateful my older brother took over the job of being her dog parent for me. When not studying I enjoy playing lacrosse, babysitting, and going out with friends whenever I can.      Personally, I have not had a lot of prior experience using technology in an education setting. Most experience I have are with the resources such as Microsoft word and powerpoint while using them in class during middle and high school. When I volunteered/ worked at an after school care program I would help elementary students with logging in to thei
