 A lot of the public class pages contain information about teachers' education and their passions. They write about what school they attended and what they intended to study versus what they actually studied. They also write about the role they play within the school and how long they’ve been working there. Each of these class pages gives a little insight into each teacher's life. https://www.matergroveacademy.com/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=758500&type=u&termREC_ID=&pREC_ID=572535 

I do envision myself using technology to accomplish my professional responsibilities in a more efficient and effective way. Technology is extremely convenient and so commonly used in being able to share information with students as well as parents. Some specific teacher productivity tools that I enjoy using are blackboard and remind101. However, I will always have to take into consideration that not all students have access to these technology tools. 

I enjoyed working on canvas for assignment 2 and I didn’t know that it had so many different features. I found it to be an easy way to interact with all my group members and we were all able to easily upload our parts of the project. I would be interested in using canvas with my future K-12 students. I find it to be a really good and simple way for students to be able to easily work together on an assignment.

  I did experience distance learning throughout my sophomore and junior year of high school. I did not enjoy distance learning and found it to be completely useless. Teachers are unable to make sure you are on task and many students just end up cheating because they can, which results in not learning anything. It is also very hard to stay engaged when you are online as looking at a computer screen all day can get extremely tiring. As a teacher I would make sure that the lessons I teach are extremely engaging in order to keep my students alert and engaged.  Open educational resources (OER) are resources that anyone has access to.

 Hi my name is Kayla! I was born and raised in Miami and am now a freshman at Florida State. I've worked with kids in a school setting for the past 5 years and I really enjoy it. My major is Special Education and I am planning on applying to the joint bachelor's and master's program at FSU for Special Education.  I have used technology a lot in an educational setting including my own school work throughout the years as well as when I've worked with children. Growing up I would use different platforms online to complete my homework and class work. I have also used a multitude of online platforms when working with children. I find that interactive platforms online allow the children to enjoy what they are learning.  I have multiple personal learning networks both online and offline. Offline I tend to interact a lot with teachers that I have worked with in the past that are very helpful when it comes to education related questions. I also consider the kids that I have work

  I have interacted with many different education platforms on Twitter. I have found that each of the present interesting information on different educational topics. These accounts have allowed me to stay more informed within the education community. I believe twitter will be useful in my future career with being able to communicate with other teachers about what they are doing in their classrooms. I believe collaboration is a big part of what makes educators successful in their fields.  I believe that the digital divide does pose a problem within schools and creates a huge disparity between students. The main cause of the digital divide is the lack of resources students have due to income. Many students may not be able to afford a laptop or have internet in their homes which holds them back when they are required to do online assignments. This will certainly influence my future teaching strategies because I will always have an alternative for students that do not have access to any o
