 1. Hello, I'm Bryce, and I am majoring in Social Science Education to become a history teacher. My love of history really began in elementary school through reading the Eyewitness series of picture books. Into middle school I started to read more in-depth books and do my own research. In 8th grade, however, I was inspired to go into education by my history teacher. Ever since then I have wanted to teach history, and chose Florida State because of their excellent program and the great advisors in the College of Education.


2. Most of my experience comes from using the Google applications in school. I would always use Google Drive to write all of my papers, and use Google Slides for my presentations. I also used different applications like Flipgrid and Prezi, but not that often. I would like to learn about some other apps or programs that I could use as a teacher.


3. For my own personal learning I like to watch different shows and documentaries dealing with history. I also do a lot of my own independent research into areas of history that I don't know much about. One of the other things I like to do is test my knowledge on trivia. I mainly use the website Jetpunk which has a lot of different educational and trivia quizzes.

    I have a similar experience, but with English! I found my love for English through a teacher I had in elementary school. Elementary school teachers play an important role in developing their student's loves for certain subjects.

 1. I think surveys are a great way to gauge how well your students are doing in the classroom. I have seen some of my teachers use the exit slip model, which involves giving the students a non-graded questionnaire at the end of the class period. Then the teacher can review the results from the exit slip and indemnify which concepts need to be reinforced, or which students need to be worked with more closely. From there, the teacher can more easily model their teaching to satisfy whatever needs were identified in the survey. 2. I think a common topic that I have seen with other people's blogs is that a lot of us had previous experiences with teaching before this class. By reading their first posts, I can tell that most people here really care about education and took steps before this class to be more involved, which I think is a great thing. It shows how invested we all are into this field and how much we care about the education of others. This previous motivation, combined with

 1. I really liked working on the website assignment. I learned a lot about designing a website to loot visually appealing while still presenting the necessary information. I though Weebly was very easy to use and was very helpful in what they offered. I think that I will have a website like this in the future to hold static information and resources for parens and students to access. http://bryceruddock.weebly.com 2. I think Diigo is a great tool to use for online annotating and keeping a collection of resources. I could see students using this application to annotate assignments or readings that I give them. Students could also use it to hold all of their assignments from the class and then make a portfolio at the end of the year. Diigo could also be used by educators to facilitate meetings or share information online. 3. I chose Edutopia as my source because it has a lot of information on all subjects fro teachers to use. It has different articles on curriculum, teaching methods, pr
