This is my first blog post! I have no idea what I am doing. On a scale from 1-10, my technological skills would probably rank at about -6. I am thankful for the opportunity to be exposed to so many fantastic educational tools through this course. I hope that my hard work during this course will make me a better teacher.
There are so many amazing technological tools that can be used to enhance learning in the classroom. One tool that I am unfamiliar with, but exceedingly curious about, is Google Classroom. I have found other google tools– Google Docs, Google Drive, etc– quite helpful in my own learning, so I hope that Google Classroom will be just as beneficial. This brings me to my first personal learning goal for this course: to develop familiarity with Google Classroom.
I am also curious about The Freedom of Information and Personal Privacy Act (FIPPA). My second personal learning goal is to make sure that I understand, fully, how to conduct myself as a teacher while staying in accordance with the FIPPA guidelines.
There are so many more things that I hope to learn over the course of this semester, but the points mentioned above are at the top of the list.
