Resource Critique Activity

     I chose to do a standard for the 7th grade and I evaluated a resource from standard LAFS.6.SL.2.5 which read: Include multimedia components (e.g., graphics, images, music, sound) and visual displays in presentations to clarify information. The resource I chose was "Weathering and Erosion Video Project". It is a lesson plan for a project that instructs 6th graders to create instructional video that they will show to 4th graders to teach them about weathering and erosion. The resource include a project rubric that the group fills out as a self assessment and also the 4th graders fill out as an assessment of the project. I liked that the lesson plan discussed what both the 6th AND 4th graders will have accomplished by the end of the project. It's also a good way to get students familiar with video projects, because I know I din't do a video project until the 9th grade. I wish the resource had included student samples, if not the video itself then the filled out rubrics that both the 6th and 4th graders filled out.

    Hello!
    I am assuming from your post that you want to teach 6th grade and I think that is great! This lesson is really cool in the fact that it includes 4th graders and 6th graders. It gives the 6th graders the chance to teach, and 4th graders get an idea on what they are in for. Best of luck!

    I love the hands on group project idea! I believe a great way for students to learn is for them to discover things themselves!

    I love that this lesson plan allows for students of different ages to collaborate. It seems that typically, students collaborate among their classroom but not among other grades. I'd like to try this someday in my classroom!

Second Journal!

     As a student, MS Word has been the most used application in my career. Every paper that I have had to turn in for a class has been on done on Word. It's the program I'm most familiar with and the one that my teachers all approve of universally. I never even thought of using another application. Since the first grade, my elementary school took pride in teaching all their students how to become familiar with all the programs on their computers. In the class periods where we'd learn how to use Word, I would find myself practicing how to make brochures, flyers, and even invitations. I never really understood how to do more intricate things until I took the Computer Fluency course (CGS 2060) here at FSU. They went into more detail about each and every tab on the program. Personally, I see MS Word now solely as a way to write papers and create tests and quizzes. I've learned about different programs to make more visually appealing handouts and complete different organ...

Blog Post 10!

I think I'll use surveys in my future as an educator to better learn where my students are at and how I can help them. In other words, to adjust my curriculum through a course evaluation. But I'd want to keep using it throughout the semester and year and not have it be just a one time thing. I really enjoy when my professors give surveys that aren't only the university mandated ones. A lot of the times you can tell when they actually care about improving their course and don't just do it because it's mandatory. I really enjoyed reading what my classmates plan on using surveys for in their future but most importantly if it even applies to them. One in particular mentioned that she didn't think making surveys didn't really apply to her and that she wouldn't do them because she plans on being a kindergarten teacher. Which I think makes total sense. It comes down to the fact that with children that age it comes down to the instructor to lead them in their ...

First Day with EME 2040

Prior Experience with Technology              My prior experience with technology is primarily the use of my iPhone 6s, but I did have to take CGS 2060 here at FSU which is a computer fluency course that lets you become familiar with Microsoft Office (Powerpoint, Word, Excel). I have a MacBook Pro so I'm pretty familiar with some of my applications on there (Spotify, MusicNote, iMovie, etc.). But my experience is pretty limited to what I have to learn to survive, for example my cellphone, skills I would need to pass a class, and learning how to use an application in order to complete a school project. As for educational technology, my experience is limited to what I was shown at FSU's Education department in the Sandbox.  What I Hope to Learn in this Course        I hope to become more fluent in educational technology and basically any technology that would give me that edge as a future educator/counselor/whatever ...
