My digital skills have grown immensely since the start of this course. I'm looking through my assignments and updating some of the early ones.
What I did: As the assignment directed, I got a Google account, then obtained a "Blogger" account. I did this in the first week of the course. Although it was new for me, it was very easy to sign up. At first, I was confused, but I've learned how to use the template. It is customized and reflects my style.
What I Learned: I learned how to use the template. I explored the tabs and settings. I learned how to customize the blogger and use text, images, embedding and linking.
NETS-T: This assignment aligns with:
-Standard 3c, which says that teachers are to: "communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats." Blogger's format was so simple to learn that I felt comfortable in a short time. It is a very good communicative format.
-Standard 5a, which says that teachers are to "participate in local and global learning communities to explore creative applications of technology to improve student learning". This entire project has been a professional learning committee, using Century 21 tools and standards, and modeling etiquette.
How It Can Be Used: I needed to use Blogger as the portfolio of my work in this course (EDUC 6305). It can be used as a classroom page to keep parents informed.
