In high school I used Microsoft Word for every paper, essay, or project I had to type up. My freshman year of high school I was required to take a Microsoft course that helped break down ways to use Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Which is probably why I resorted to Word over Google Docs or Pages. I also used it to take the majority of my notes in classes, and still do because I can type faster than I can write. As for my teachers I know the majority used them to type up their tests or handouts they gave to us. Some would actually link Word documents to their class pages so we could edit and submit assignments that way, much like this class.  In high school, my AP Lit teacher was also the moderator for our school's online newspaper. That being said she informed all her students about the dangers breaking copyright laws. Even when we had projects in class that required us to link videos or incorporate pictures she was a stickler for citing or using fair use appropriately. She mentio...

A flipped classroom is a teaching style in which the teacher assigns students lectures at home and helps them work through practice problems in class. It allows for a more interactive and involved classroom, but it does have some disadvantages. I had one class in high school that was flipped, and often students would put off the lectures so they didn't reap the benefits of this teaching style because they were not listening to the assigned lectures and fulling engaging in the class. For those who do watch the lectures and take notes, flipped classrooms can be a great advantage because it allows the students to think about concepts and have time to think of helpful questions for the teacher. This in turn provides a deeper level of understanding for the students. My highschool chemistry teacher used YouTube to post her videos. A link to her channel can be found here . But I've always found Khan Academy to have the most helpful videos in any subject I've studied. A link to Kha...

The website I found was that of a teacher named Mrs. Brunner who teaches 6th grade math at Lumpkin County Middle. The information she posts that is public is her schedule so you can come to her when she's free for help, supplies needed, reminders, daily agendas, and a link to a class twitter. It's convenient that the kids can see what they'll be doing each day of class with the daily agendas posted. Posting the reminders is also helpful for the students to remember what needs to be done, and it allows the parents to see it and make sure their child is on top of their work. http://lcms.lumpkinschools.com/classroom/dd21d3ff-5a91-4a0a-809d-8e516f54253b?skip=1 I imagine I'll probably be using a lot of technology as a teacher. Since I want to do elementary I feel like children are more drawn to learning via tablets or technology in general. I've also been having to observe classrooms for another education class and found that ClassDojo is effective in reenfo...
