      T his standard deals with using technology to foster student teamwork. 1.1 deals with specific tools students can use for activities. 1.2 deals with using technology to keep resources for work useful and fun. 1.3 says to explain how technology can aid in collaboration. 1.4 says to elaborate on why teamwork is helpful for completing projects. Finally 1.5 says to explain why receiving feedback from others in a group can improve performance.      On the CPALM site, I found a 3rd grade math resource for learning how to find perimeter. i liked this resource because it has a word problem to help kids visualize what they are looking for when they find a perimeter, but it also has supplemental questions to ensure they are less likely to get confused and mix it up with finding side lengths or areas. it also gives different orders for adding the sides together to try and adapt to different thinking styles and ways of breaking down problems. this is the res...

     Copyright is a legal protection that prevents people from claiming or using work that is not theirs without the authors permission. Fair use is an exception to copyright that allows someone to use a work they did not make without the authors permission. in order for something to be fair use, the amount of the work used must be small or at least not at the center of the new work (ex. using quotes in a research paper). In a classroom setting this effects the use of certain learning programs, textbooks, and presentations without paying for them, as sometimes these things are provided for free online but other times they are pirated, which is illegal.     Technology also presents issues when students use it improperly. for example, plagiarism is becoming a growing problem as students copy and paste information they find online rather than writing their own words. to combat this, some schools pay for a plagiarism checker that student answers can be put...

 I think the "digital native" label can certainly apply to members of younger generations who grew up with a lot of technology exposure. however, I don't think you can label an entire generation as native because there are always outliers whos' parents limited their access as kids so now they are less adept than others. I defiantly have noticed a difference between my tech skills versus my teachers (in 8th grade I was somehow designated as "the one to fix the smartboard" even though "fixing" it was turning it off and on again). Since I plan on becoming a teacher for young children, I anticipate limiting how much I use computers in teaching to focus more on in person socialization skills.

 I think the standard of analyst is most meaningful to me because it allows teachers to experiment with new methods of assessment and gage their effectiveness. For example, if a teacher gives a written test and then an online test on the same material, they can then compare to see if student do better on one method than the other, and adjust future tests accordingly. I think it more fully allows students to show what they know regardless of their skills in test taking.

 Throughout middle and high school I have mostly used Google Docs instead of Microsoft word but I have used it occasionally. I feel as like I can defiantly use Word instead of docs if I have to, But i prefer writing in docs and then saving it as a word document. 

aaayyyyyy  

The resource I use most frequently for help in my education is probably my friends in the classes I take that can help me understand anything I've missed. I also talk to my parents, both of whom are teachers, when I have questions about teaching as a career. 

 I have experience using programs such as PowerPoint, Google Docs, and Microsoft Word for past school projects. I also have some experience using Canva for diagrams and models. I believe I have used Padlet before but I would not say I am familiar. this is my first time using blogger.
