ISTE Standard #7- Global Collaborator

I am currently a french minor. I am in French 3 and I really am enjoying the language. I took French because I wanted to be ESL certified (English Second Learning).  If I decide to just teach French, there are some great resources that I would want my students to use. I really love the application Duolingo. It not only helps you earn the vocabulary with pictures in English and hints, but also it has a microphone so children can pronounce the words correctly and the app will give feedback on that. Not only does the app come with these features, it also comes with a group chat inside the app so you can practice texting and it will put you in a group of people around the same level as you. My friend also added me on a Facebook page where all people from around the world are trying to learn a different language and they have Whatsapp or other ways to communicate and teach each other. I can take some resources and put it in my classroom as well.

    I have never used Duolingo before, but I have heard that it is a good resource and that it really encourages you to practice often. I love the idea of using a Facebook page to connect with people from around the world. Maybe you could communicate with a class in France learning English, and the students could help each other learn their native languages.

I don't normally see public schools that have teacher resources out publicly. When teachers post inside of websites such as canvas where it is more catered to you, then they post resources. If there is something public, it would just give the basic information about how to contact the person. An example of this is the website for my mom's school. When you open up the faculty page it just provides teachers emails. However, there is a section for different grade levels, and it explains what they will learn by the time they graduate from that grade and what tools they incorporate. This is the website I used: http://www.cks-school.org/academics/ec4.cfm I can definitely use technology to help my students out. I feel that computer labs would be very beneficial for students to have so they can learn how to type. In my computer class, we had covers for the keys so we could try to memorize where the keys were. On top of that, we had a mini quiz/ fun activity to see how fast...

I really like that you can make comments on other people's comments. It was very difficult trying to find out who commented back on your post, but by highlighting and emphasizing something important that they say makes it easier for people to see. Overall Diigo is a great website. You can share multiple resources with your classmates and your teachers. You can share with either classmates, teammates or professionals some sources that you found if you are working on group projects and people can comment on some information that they can use for the project or whatever you wanted to use Diigo for. It is a great way to share information and similar websites that people can check out. There are 6 major points of Bloom's taxonomy. They are: remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, and create. For powerpoint, it is good to remember some notes or important points that you would want to incorporate in your powerpoint lesson. It can also help with understanding because the more...

So far my experience with Twitter is really good. Some of my classmates put really good criticisms and websites for me to look at. I often find myself, @-ing classmates, saying how amazing the technology is that they shared and some of their articles they post. It is a great way to communicate with classmates even if you are not in class. I really liked designing the website because it let me discuss a topic that I was interested in and also had creative license to design it the way I liked. I thought that everything was really easy for me to input like the calendar. There really was not any issues, but everything took a lot of time like any good website. I also inputted personal pictures that I took in France which was fun. https://eme2040fre.weebly.com/ I loved learning about technology that is able to help people with disabilities. I remember when I was in elementary school, I would take my free period and work with the special needs kids. They had a really cool hammock but ...
