     I have used Weebly in the past but I have never used the embed code function before so it was interesting to learn how to use. I liked the Weebly platform because I found it really easy to edit my website and make it aesthetically pleasing. I could use this website making service in the future to actually make my class website to connect with my students. I can also use this website in order to connect with the parents of my students and use it as an announcement page to keep everyone updated.

    My experience with Diigo helped me learn how to better annotate websites for important information. I also liked the collaborativeness of posting on a forum along with the class to find resources that helped everyone. I can use a web based forum like Diigo in my future classroom by having students work on group projects together. Using a forum like this could also work as a personal archive of websites I deem important for my academic career and workforce career, such as different businesses' websites. 

   The link below documents current education technology trends that would be beneficial for me to know as a future educator. By staying on top of current and future trends of education technology, I can become and maintain being, the best teacher I possibly can be, when it comes to technology in the classroom. I personally learned that VR technology is being implemented now in schools in order to enhance students' learning, which is shocking because I wouldn't have known this without this website. By using this site going into the future, I can stay on top of new trends that happen in order to maximize my students' engagement and learning within my classroom.

    Hey Jake! I had never used Weebly before, but found it easy to navigate and use once I started. I also had not embedded a code, which was cool to learn how to do and a neat function to have. A website would definitely be useful for future teachers to have to keep all information for students and parents in one accessible place!

    Hey Jake!

    I definitely think that VR is a great way to engage students and stay connected with the relevant technology trends!

    Hey Jake! Your weebly website is very nice! I like that each pages flowed well together and looked put together. I like how you added color pictures on each page that was related to the page information. Overall it is a very nice design.

    Hey Jake! I love your site! The proximity of the images and text looks great on each page! the consistent gray and white color scheme flows really nicely! The images you included were relevant but very entertaining, especially the picture of Waffles! Overall the design looks great!

    Jake, nice job on your weebly website. I had troubles with mine but you made your simple and easy to navigate. I liked the last page having to do with your phone number. lol I can see where this might be an issue at say 10 o'clock at night.

      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,...
