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 o...
1. Before this class, I had a personal twitter that I used occasionally to follow different people and organizations. I haven't used the student account a lot yet, but I can see how it would be useful. As a teacher, Twitter can be used to to connect with other educators or educational programs. Teachers can share techniques and activities, or talk with other teachers about their experiences. 2. The digital divide is more evident today with the integration of technology into the classroom.

Students who are more prone to have technology issues are those who come from poorer households, or from rural environments. To help those students, teachers can allow them to stay after class to use the school internet, or give them physical materials so they can keep up with the rest of the class. 3.

1. A copyright is a protection someone puts on their own intellectual property that they created. It prevents the public from copying that image or writing without first paying the original creator. However, fair use can be claimed, and the original work can be used in limited amounts. This includes educational purposes, but not any way the image could be used to make money. As a teacher using fair use, it is important to credit the author underneath each picture or writing. Also, teachers should tell their student to credit anything that they get from someone's website or other intellectual space. 2. One major issue when dealing with technology in the classroom is academic dishonesty. During a test or activity, it is very easy for students to open up a new tab on their computer and look up the answers. One solution that I thought worked well was used on me in high school. Through our LMS, Schoology, the teachers could enable a lockdown browser so that when we entered the test, ou...
