. With regards to the ELA technology standards, I feel confident in my ability to teach all of the standards relating to grades 9-12 which are the grades most concerned with the area I want to go into with teaching. I have experienced these standards and have done multiple activities throughout my schooling that have given me firsthand experience with the standards and I think that will allow my students to reach these standards as I share my accounts with them and how they can retain the same information for their later years in school. . Since my students will be around 16-18, and I believe one of the purposes of teaching high school is to prepare students for college, one search engine I would like to use with my students is Google Scholar.

One of the main experiences I have had with copyright and fair use of materials is professors providing pdf files of textbook chapters in the first week or so of class while students are in the process of getting their textboo...

With the rise of technology, it can become a useful tool to better connect with a classroom and cater to a variety of learning styles. Likewise, students are what can influence a teacher to implement technology in his/her classroom. As mentioned before, students have a variety of different learning styles and it is important to try to cater to all of them to promote success in the classroom and technology is a great tool for that purpose. 2. I think the ITSE standards are incredibly useful and can be a good resource for teachers and students when using technology in the classroom. One standard that is meaningful to me is the student standard of "Creative Communicator." I grew up during the rise of social media and I have had firsth...
