 I decided to choose grades 11-12th from the Standards and Technology Matrices for ELA because I feel as though these grades are  valuable years for learning a student can receive because they’re close to jumping into the “real world.” I chose standard LAFS.1112.RST.3.7  because it is the standard that informs one that they should be able to incorporate and understand various streams of information presented in several formats and media in order to address and solve issues. I find this to be important because when these students either go off to college or land a job they will be presented  with topics from digital sources that needs to be addressed and be expected to address those well. With my current skill I believe I would not be prepared to implement this standard to 11th and 12th graders because they use Word, Excel, Pixlr, Photoshop, and Tuva. I’ve used most if not all of these tools on multiple occasions however I have not mastered one or more of them, so I would want to learn more about these tools before incorporating them. 

 

Out of the CPALMS list of grades and subjects, I decided to go with grades 9-12th theatre. As I stated above I believe these years are vital for the advancement of these students because their close to going out into the real world. I chose theatre because theatre is near and dear to me with me being an actor and pursuing a career in this field. One of the resources that stood out to me was the “Monologue Challenge.” This resource is placed on the list to help younger actors demonstrate their creativity by playing two different characters. As an working actor they will be expected to play more than one character. 

 

One of the most important skills a modern day teacher could have is being proficient in internet searching. Our world is forever changing and is moving towards the digital route more and more each year. If a teacher is not proficient in these skills I think they will be left behind and will not be able to educate their students properly. After learning the different internet searching skills the one I would like to use is reverse image search. I’ve never used that tool to look or locate an image but it seems to be a useful skill.

  I decided to look at one of my formal teachers page from Leon High School, and I surely was not disappointed. While attending Leon, I did not use my teachers web page to my advantage like I should have. I see how resourceful they can be, for example Mr. Robby Read currently has a bio so the students and parents can be a little more familiar with him. He also has an announcement, important dates, and deadline page on his website. This is important so all of his students and parents can be updated on what's due and or coming up in the near future.  https://www.leonschools.net/Page/22542  I envision using technologies that are cost efficient as well convenient to all my students no matter their circumstances. One being a text messaging tool that would allow me to send updates and reminders for when things are due via text, through Tatango and Twilio. Another one would be a fun gaming one such as Kahoot to make learning more fun and enjoyable. Lastly, I would use a social media tool

Prior to this week, I had zero experience with Diigo. To be completely honest I really don't understand the purpose of the site. I haven't used the site but only two times, so my knowledge of the site is very limited. However, I do like the bookmark feature because I can bookmark a website and share it to my group page so others can see.  Blogging to me is fun, even though I've only blogged for educational purposes. I like the idea of "free writing," which in my opinion is the art of just writing or typing your thoughts out without there being a right or wrong answer. It's something about writing my thoughts out without the fear of being right or wrong which is ""freeing." I learned that you can add visuals to your blog which is fantastic, so your blogs can be more digestible and not so text heavy.  Weebly is a Web 2.0 tool that I may use in the future for teaching. Weebly is a user-friendly website that help users build a professional website.

  As far as my "early experience" with Twitter goes, I have little to no experience at all. In 2018 I downloaded the app for acting and business purposes but could never dive into it because I didn't really know how to use it. Twitter is surely my least used app or social media platform. If I learned how to use it better then I could connect with other actors, casting directors, and directors. However; as of right now, there is no audience I connect with.   In my opinion there are only two causes to the digital divide,  the first being the classroom and the second being society. Because countries are in competition with one another they push and explorer new ways of learning which created more technology based learning. Society is almost the same way, except we as humans try to create an easier way to communicate, learn, and go about our lives. One of the ways to effectively do this is by creating new technologies to make life easier. They advertise these technologies and
