Week 1 reflections

During the first week of class I learned how to create hyperlinks and how to make a Google site. Knowing how to hyperlink and creating a Google site will enhance classroom learning because younger students prefer a learning environment that's more exciting, interactive, and technological. The hyperlinks created on my Google site lead you to ISTE standards for both teachers and students. These are important to reference because technology is now such an integral part of our country's education system. As a teacher, having a Google site can help kids get to know their teacher on a more personal note, therefore creating more respect in the classroom.
During the first week of class, I met a lot of ISTE standards, such as promoting and modeling digital citizenship and responsibility, which pertains to our internet bookmark assignment, in which we gave brief summaries of issues with technology today, such as cyber bullying, equity issues, cultural issues,and copyright issues.
Having more information on these issues contributes to professional dispositions such as Commitment to ethics, commitment to the well-being of students, families, and communities.
As a future teacher, I would use my Google site to post assignments, comments, or maybe follow-up on an idea that was presented in class that day.
