This training course is something that all educators should participate in because it teaches us creative ways to let our students know how to be safe on the internet. Given that we live in a world of technology, our students are bound to it. In this course, you select the age group of your students and they provide you with resources on how to introduce the topic, when to introduce it, and fun games online to help them stay safe.
Ethics Training
This training teaches people the facts of Government Ethics and helps make sure public servants stay safe. As educators, we are not allowed to accept gifts over the amount of twenty-five dollars; public servants have to complete this training every year; you cannot be employed by an immediate family member because it's a conflict of interest
Tech Tools: The tech tools assignment was very helpful when looking for apps and websites to enhance the learning in my future classroom. Because the world around us is constantly changing with technology, these tools will help ensure that students and teachers will fully grasp the subject and cover all methods of learning
Google Classroom Assignment: Google Classroom is a great tool and very easy to navigate!
Google Classroom is a great way for students to get their results back quickly from an exam or from a homework assignment.
Google classroom is also very teacher friendly when it comes to grading. One of the most useful features is that the teacher has the ability to make self-grading quizzes and exams, so that they can put them into the gradebook quicker.
Another useful tool is that it can put all of the students grades into a Google sheet which makes it easier for the teacher to see which of their students are struggling and may need extra help.
Autobiography Assignment
From this Experience I learned:
YouTube is a great way for students to find educational videos to help strengthen their knowledge of the lesson
Having students create a video is a good way for the teacher to see if their students truly understand the lesson being taught
Having the students create a YouTube video could open the door for a new way of learning. For instance, if the teacher does not explain something well, perhaps the way one student explains it, will be easier for another student to understand
I really enjot the app and plan to use it in my classroom as a way to test if my students fully understand the lesson
