Blog Journal 8

     The Web Design assignment was very interesting. I have used Weebly before, but because I was so young when I did, I didn't realize how much there was to create your website. I learned so many ways to make a website unique, and it made it super simple to use. There were a lot of shortcuts to put a lot of different things in the website just by clicking and dragging a link. After creating a mock-teacher website, I will definitely consider making one of my own when I become a teacher. Here is the link to my website: http://rabin2ndgrade.weebly.com/ 

    From Diigo, I learned a lot on how to annotate online. I didn't even realize when we first started using Diigo how to attach an extension to Chrome, so using the Diigo extension helped me see how to do so. The Diigo extension allowing me to annotate the various bookmarks, and it was very cool how it was able to be shared with the rest of the class. As useful as Diigo was for this class, I do not think I would use it for my future classroom, especially since I am hoping to teach elementary school. Even when I first started using it, I had trouble navigating it, so I don't think my future students would be able to understand the website enough to accurately use it.

    Teachers have a very free reign of what technologies to use in their classroom, especially since they are the ones looking for the right ones. Each year, education evolves even more regarding technology, and it's the teachers' job to keep their students and themselves well-rounded on the different resources. The following website; https://learnsafe.com/5-educational-technology-trends-for-2020/ is an article summarizing technology trends in education. The entire website itself keeps up to date with different technologies and how they will improve students learning and day-to-day functioning in schools.

  1. your website was clear and easy to read with cute pictures! A little more color would have been fun but keeping it serious is good too if it is mainly for parents.

  2. I appreciate how simple your website is and easy to navigate. More pictures might be helpful just to increase the appeal, but not necessarily needed!

  3. Some of the titles were kind of hard to read because they were light colors on light pictures, but the rest of the content had good contrast! Everything was aligned in a nice way and your website was very easy to navigate.

  4. Your website is super easy to navigate and I love all the pictures. Each tab threw me off a little since they are all have different layouts, but that's just because personally I like all my stuff to match.

     Hi! My name is Jenna Rabin. I'm a freshman at FSU, but I'm from Atlanta, Georgia. The first thing I enjoy telling people is that I am a huge nerd. I love to read and write and I will constantly have conversations about TV shows and movies whenever I'm prompted to. Harry Potter and Star Wars are basically personality traits of mine. I'm also very short, only five feet tall, but fun size.      In schools, I've had experience with Microsoft applications such as Teams, Word, and Powerpoint. I've had to use those a lot through high school, especially Microsoft Teams, as it was the way we had virtual classes at the end of last semester. I've also used the Georgia Virtual Schools online platform for my online classes my senior year, so I got familiar with a certain platform for online classes. I have also used Microsoft OneNote, because a lot of teachers in my high school required us to take notes and submit work through it.     My personal learni...

      Copyright is is the legal right, given to the creator of something to share their own work, and give others permission to do the same. It protects intellectual property, which is anything as a result of creativity. Fair use allows people to take small portions of copyrighted material and share them. People such as teachers use this in order to help teach material. I would first educate my students on both of these concepts to make sure they understand the limits and importance of copyright and fair use, as there are consequences to breaking them. I would also make sure for things they use, that they credit the creator and check for copyrighted materials before even thinking about using it.     Cyberbullying is a huge problem, especially in this day and age. I believe that the most important and efficient way to prevent it is to educate people. I would set aside time to talk about cyberbullying, ways to spot it, and how to approach it and report it in a mat...
