EME 2040

 I did a digital detox last weekend. I felt very disconnected from my family and friends since I was not communicating over the phone with them. I had FOMO there. I felt a lot more productive and did not waste as much time on social media. I was able to see how harmful social media can be on our ability to work.  

 

  Today I made my Teacher Bitmoji on the Bitmoji app. It was a lot of fun to play around with the settings to try and make the most accurate Bitmoji. I really enjoyed trying on a bunch of different outfits. I picked a yellow romper and some sandals as my teacher outfit. I think this is a fun tool that can be used in themed lessons and to add some humor to my lessons!

 I will use surveys as an elementary school science teacher. I will have them take surveys before and after they learn material to see how they have grown. I will give it online, and create it with Google Forms. I will let them see their results so they can analyze their own growth.         Seeing my classmates blogs was a really cool experience! I got to see a lot of their interests in teaching as well as their ideas for their future classroom. I really liked seeing each other's website. It makes me excited to work with other teachers in the future.  I think the tech badges are a great idea! I think it is an awesome way to get extra tokens. I think they are great to help strengthen student's technological skills. I think you should keep these in the class.  The next skill I hope to master is Excel. I have been using it at my new job, and have been watching videos on Youtube to learn. I also have my supervisor helping me! I am excited to see what I learn!
