     The initial setup process of Diigo was easy enough. However, I find the interface to be very confusing. I have joined the group, but haven't figured out how to do much more than that. I know it is required to use, but if it were my choice, I would use any other website if I am being completely honest. I like that I can upload my portfolio assignments as soon as I complete them. 

    Blogging has been an interesting experience. When I first read about this assignment, I figured we would be blogging about our lives, sort of like a journal. I was worried for this because I was afraid I would have nothing interesting to write about. Luckily, I was wrong and the assignment is always clearly stated of what I need to write about. This makes completing this assignment much more interesting and a lot easier to complete. 

    Youtube is something I would use as a web 2.0 tool in my future classroom because of the versatility of it. I can upload coursework on there for those who miss class, or I can add homework help that anyone would have access to. Youtube also would make it easy for my students to find my content because on my channel, I would have playlists for different units and it would all be clearly labeled. I could also use a flip classroom style in my future classroom by utilizing Youtube.

    I agree about diigo being pretty confusing! I also thought the blogs would be like a personal journal, but it has been fairly easy to write about the things we learn in this class. Fun fact about me, I actually have a youtube channel and make vlogs about my life on it. I like your take on resources in your future classroom!

      On the website that I scoured, I was able to find every single teachers' personal website that was designed by each of them individually. On the specific site for the William Floyd school district, was a teacher named Ms. Tepper. She teaches earth science and here site clearly reflects this by having an "Intro to Earth Science" youtube video on the home page of her site and has basic information labeled on there for parents' use. She also has an about her page where she details facts about her life so the parents and students can get to know her better.  The link to the website shown above is here .      I plan to use an abundance of technology when it comes to my future teaching career because the parents of the children I will be teaching, will be from a younger generation who is more apt in the realm of technology. One specific tool I will use is Google Drive, due to its nature of being easy to share and easy to give out editing perm...

       My first experience with Twitter was with my personal account and I found it as a good way to keep updated on global news in the world. For this teacher account for this course, I found it as an interesting way to keep in contact with other students in the class and with the teacher. Twitter will help me connect with other teachers in my career, as a way to professionally connect with others. Twitter can also help me with my future career in the way of helping me connect with my students in a fun and effective way, yet still maintaining a sense of professionalism.      Everyone in this world, more or less, rely on some form of technology. Because of this, schools rely on children to have this technology and unfortunately, not every one of those children have that kind of access. This is what is known as the digital divide, and it is widespread across the nation and the globe. The digital divide is usually caused by poverty or in general, lo...

Introduction to Me

       My name is Jake Bucher, and I am a Psychology major at FSU with a minor in Education. I have three dogs, their names are Waffles, Max, and Benny. My interests include Marvel, Star Wars, DC and LEGO. A weird hobby of mine is that I like to birdwatch and go birding. I actually have a wildlife photography account on Instagram called Jakeswildlifephotography.      Personally, I have not participated in many educational settings besides attending school itself. While in college, I have mostly used Canvas, along with Zoom and Flipgrid. However, in high school, when covid first started, I had to use Microsoft Teams, so I have a decent expertise in that department. I am also Microsoft certified in Word, Powerpoint, and Excel, for both the years of 2013 and 2016. I have also created a multitude of websites using Weebly and Wixsite.      The only real learning networks I use are the resources that are given to me by my professors. Although,...
