1. I will be looking at grade 12, and benchmark SC.K2.CS-CP.2.4 . This benchmark askes teachers to make a simple program using code in Computer Science and Programming, and I can confidently say that I am not prepared to teach this course. Most of the education courses I've attended so far discuss the ethics and practices of teaching, not so much the material of the courses I'd be teaching. Although I do not know if computer science courses for primary school are offered, I imagine they may be few and far between.

2. I took a look and the Genes and Health toolkit for this. I believe that this toolkit, as well as the others, provide a good base line for lessons on the subject matter that they discuss. Additionally, the Genes and Health toolkit also provides some practice students could possibly use to test their knowledge of the material. However, I couldn't seem to find a section discussing the benchmark I found on creating a simple program using computer science.

3. Being proficient with internet research is the most significant trait to have in an internet age. If a teacher is proficient with internet searches, and is able to find reliable sources, they could consistently find good answers and questions to ask their class, not to mention the internet's ability to help teach the class a subject matter. I feel like I had a general knowledge of the types of internet searches given by this course, but I'd still say that they are incredibly useful to use for honing in on a specific search query.

Blog Journal #7

 I had a hard time finding a teacher page for any local schools. I was able to find staff directories, listing the e-mails that teachers/faculty provide for outreach, but nothing beyond that. Some websites I looked at had announcements praising teachers for being awarded teacher of the year, but that was as much information as I could find without a log-in or guided navigation through the website. Overall, I found nothing about class pages during my search. I haven't viewed technology as part of my development as a professional, as I mostly focus on how I can efficiently a lot of my time to do the work I have. Although it isn't a teacher-specific development tool, I could see myself utilizing Google Calendar to begin planning and dispersing my workload across the week. I've found myself procrastinating a lot of the work I do, and I realize that not addressing this problem may culminate in there simply being too much work for me to do at one time, so using a calendar resourc...

Blog Journal #9

 The latter half of my junior year and the entirety of my senior year of high school were spent in lock down. I enjoyed that I had the luxury of staying at home whilst also doing school work, since I wasn't a fan of getting up at 7:30 A.M. and taking the bus to school. However, I disliked the varied responses teachers had to the lock down. Some teachers acted like there was no lock down, causing most of the class to fall behind, while other teachers didn't move ahead at all. If I become a teacher, I'd be sure to COVID proof my lessons so that the transition between in person to online would be (hopefully) seamless. OER, simply put, are accessible resources that anybody can use within the classroom. The OER article I found talked about Climate Optimism and a fully remodeled Climate Project. The article opens with discussing how many young adults and adolescents feel that they are helpless in changing the world around them. It then leads to talk about how having optimism coul...

Blog Setup and Blog Journal #1

 1. I am very uncomfortable when it comes to sharing within a public forum on the internet. I feel more at home talking to people over voice calls when it comes to internet communication. Speaking within a forum really isn't that engaging for me, and is much more limited than with concurrent voice communication. I feel like hearing someone talk to me, even in a group setting, provides for a much better diaspora of communication when compared to a forum within which people will send replies every couple of minutes, hours, or even days. 2. My experiences with technology in an educational setting, overall, have been negative. Most of the time, technology is used as a platform for a student to complete their homework on. The thing is, these software programs hardly ever expound on why an incorrect answer is incorrect, leaving the student guessing what they did wrong. Outside of these experiences, I've had to make a website using Wix which acted as a portfolio for my English course,...
