    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.

    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 websites and blog journals to share ideas and ways of teaching. For my individual professional efforts I could use Diigo to organize and keep my favorite websites saved for later use. 

    Teachers are continuously developing trying to stay up to date with the best ways to educate the youth effectively. Educators are not given instructions on what to do but must find their own resources for the students benefit. Staying aware of changes and the rights and wrongs of the technology being used in class which can be difficult on top of the other responsibilities of a teacher. A website like the one linked below could be a great resource for educators trying to stay up to date with new technology they could use in the classroom.

    Hi Amanda,
    I took a look at your website and I enjoyed the design of your website. I like how your information was organized and easy to access. The light color scheme and intriguing fonts make the site attractive. The resources you provide for the academic games and student/ parent resources are all reliable site and provide subject specific content. Overall great work!

    Hey Amanda,
    Your website looks great first off!! Its designed well and the contrast is perfect with not too many white or light colors. The resources were all helpful and listed in a bulleted list which makes it easy for them to navigate through. Its all aligned well and the headings make sense the way they are ordered.

    Hey Amanda,

    after looking at your website design I believe this was made for you. Everything flowed well together it was visually pleasing and not over-the-top.I like to believe that simplicity will win every time because its almost impossible to go wrong. All the links opened up properly and worked freely with the rest of the webpage.

  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

 Blog Post #3     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
