Blog Post #7

     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 permissions for students and teachers alike. Google Drive will let me share my coursework with the parents and students, along with having each student have their own folder in the Google Drive. These individual folders for each student will make grading assignments very easy for me as a teacher because I will be able to see when they put the assignment into their folder, to make sure it was done by the deadline. 

    PB Works was not my favorite platform to use. I feel as though the interface looks a bit archaic and overall was difficult to understand how to use at first. I also did not like how only one person could work on the same page at the same time. I find that Google Docs is better for group work for that reason. I wouldn't choose to use this wiki platform for my future students but if I had to, I would have them use the wiki as a research paper format in which they would come up with a topic and then design their wiki around that topic.

    Hi Jake! I really liked your blog post for this week. I agree with what you said about PB Works. I also did not really like using it because of how outdated it was and the fact that one person could work on a page at a time. I also would not use it with my students because I personally do not feel like it would be useful for them.

       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,...
