Blog #5

I really enjoyed my experiences with Diigo, it was very useful when annotated and creating notes. I liked that we were able to share with our classmates what we were annotated. It allowed them to go back into the article and see which exact section we were annotating. I didn't like how the website what set up though, it was a bit confusing and seemed very old school. I would use this in my classroom if it was a bit more modernized. So far throughout the semester, I have enjoyed blogging about my assignments and my aspirations in the educational field. I have never blogged in the past so this is my first time doing it for a class. I have enjoyed being able to express myself and my thoughts on educational technology, it is great for those that enjoy reflection. I have learned that a blog doesn't necessarily need to be an assignment, but it can be about other subjects such as math. A useful Web 2.0 website that I would like to one day use in my classroom is the app ...

ILP- "DESIGN"- CLASS DOJO

https://voicethread.com/share/13103380/ For my ILP Design assignment, I decided to use Class Dojo as I enjoying using the site since it tailors to many different age levels. I outline different features of the website, and how I can use them with my class. There are many features such as leaving comments, speaking to parents, and giving students points for performing well.

When I first started using Twitter, I was extremely young and had only created an account because it was becoming a trend to be using the social media platform. It quickly blew up, and I began to use Twitter as a platform to update myself on current issues going on, as well as what my friends were up to. Now, I have been using the Twitter to update myself with educational topics and issues being faced through different counties around Florida. Twitter will be beneficial in my future career because it can further develop Autistic Disorder Educational tactics and I can spread the word about my research. I believe that the digital divide is currently a huge issue within schools, as those from low-income communities are not provided with the same tools and resources. Since I have arrived to Florida State, I have been able to interact with people from different backgrounds, and many have told me about the technological disadvantages they faced when in public school. Students are now ...

Blog #3 Daymee Sanchez EME 2040 1. Some of the ELA Standards featured on the website are very familiar to me and I have been implemented into my education throughout the years. Two of the standards that I can say I feel most comfortable with is the use of Digital Media to make Presentations (Prezi/Powerpoint) and using the Internet to work on written pieces and assignments. I am certified in Microsoft Office so I've used the applications almost everyday since high school, and I have used online sources a lot to complete research papers and assignments. Some ELA Standards that I don't know as much are the use of digital tables and charts. I am not the best at creating them, but I am open to learning more. 2. Although the CPALMS Educator Toolkit doesn't offer many resources for Special Education students, I know that the use of Assistive Technology is extremely beneficial for students with Special Abilities. Students with Visual Impairments use the assistive technology...
Daymee Sanchez September 19th, 2019 1. I have used Microsoft Word many times as a student and within the classroom as assigned by my teachers. From newsletters to making a schedule using the tables, or making a document to sign at the bottom, there are many different uses for Microsoft Word. I believe that Word is a very useful application, since many students have stopped taking notes and began using Word for notes. My teachers have printed out activities for us to do in the classroom using the Microsoft Word app. I have found Word very efficient when I'm creating a study guide for an exam. 2. Using information that is not originally stated by you is a very tricky topic and many students forget about plagiarism and copyright issues. In my previous classes, many of my teachers would ask me to always cite my resources using APA style. They have also asked me to create a references page with any outside sources. To avoid any copyright issues in the educational environment, I...
Hello, My name is Daymee Sanchez and I am a sophomore at Florida State University. I am studying Special Education and Visual Disabilities, with the end goal of hopefully becoming a SPED teacher. I enjoy working with students, and assisting those with disabilities, as they too deserve equal access to a safe educational space.  I have used several different types of technological gadgets/apps in the classroom. One of the fist advancements I saw in educational technology was back in middle school, when we all received tablets to complete our work. I have also used applications such as Microsoft Office for certifications, and Edmodo for classroom assignments in high school. I have begun to use Canvas a lot now, because of school. I hope I'm able to learn the skills and techniques needed to execute a class using different technological apps and gadgets. How to use them, when to use them, and knowing which ones are most effective are good to know before using in the classroom. I h...
