To most directly answer the
question, I would feel MOST qualified to teach the ELA technology standards
that are taught in elementary school. However, I believe that I would not have
much difficulty teaching the standards that need to be met at the middle school
level. I would first need to familiarize myself with some of the programs that
are to be taught in the course that I do not yet know how to use. As for the
high school level standards, I would be at a complete loss with some of the
content and be very helpful with other components. I might struggle with
introducing mind mapping technology as I have no prior experience with that but
would certainly be able to help with integrating digital media and identifying
patterns of word change.
First of all, I would like to state
how impressed I am with this website. I did not realize that sites as helpful
as this existed. Not only are does it offer assistance with curriculum and
lesson plans, but it also offers students a seemingly endless selection of
resources. Of the resources that I decided to browse through, I decided that I
would like to implement Designing Dog Playgrounds: Multiplying Decimals.
When I was being taught decimals in 5th grade I found them confusing
at times and this program allows students to practice this subject in a fun and
effective way. I only wish I had known about this when I was that age.
I truly was not looking forward to creating
my Newsletter when it was first assigned to us. However, when I started setting
it up, I grew very fond of it. It made me feel like a real teacher! I ended up
playing around with it for hours to make it just right to send home with my “students”.
Not only did this assignment give me a little taste of what it will be like to
be a teacher, but I learned the very important skill of how to properly format
a parent Newsletter. This is a skill that will prove to be of much use to me in
the future as I very much intend on being a teacher and really appreciate the
opportunity to learn about this and all of the many aspects that go into it.
