Blog Journal #7

 The school website that I visited is my own elementary school website from back in the day. I went to a catholic elementary school and the website is heavily based around faith and religion. It mentions its mission and other religious things such as bible quotes. There is also information about clubs, sports, and events going on at the school. The school costs money so there is an area that shows the tuition and fees that it costs to attend.

I think that using technology has its perks and its downsides. It can become distracting for students so the use of technology will be limited. Of course, there is lots of positives about the use of technology such as the incorporation of games and videos. Visually demonstrating or showing the children information can be beneficial for some that do not understand when it is just spoken to them. Also, games are a great way for kids to associate learning with having fun and challenging them to beat their own scores. I will use youtube for informative videos and sites such as Quizlet to make study sets.

Some of the new skills I learned including creating a creative commons license for my work to be used publicly. I also learned how to create a calendar on google and use it on the website. I have never been able to export a calendar but the embedded code tool was very helpful. I also learned and worked on basic tools such as organization and designing a website that is relevant to situation.

    Your website was really pleasing to look at. It is creative, easy to read/navigate, and follows the CRAP guidelines.

    Looking at the St.Ursula website, I agree that they gave a lot of information immediately on the page that is also very accessible. The website looks clean in its use of colors and proximity, its super appealing as well as being informative.

    I liked your calendar. Your website was very accessible with screen readers.

 When it comes to assistive technological tools, we have come along way. Re did a great job of explaining her situation and how great technology has become for people in similar situations. It is important to maintain a good understanding of your students situation and be able to adjust your curriculum for them. Some of the tools such as alt text on images allow students like Re to be able to picture an image without being able to actually see it.  What I have gotten from using Diigo is a great sense of organization of websites and other online resources that can be beneficial for class. It can be used in a classroom to easily share and bookmark information that needs to be shared to all students. The world is ever changing and technology is where much of the information we use is stored. Having a site like Diigo makes the process of organization a lot easier.  https://www.simplilearn.com/top-technology-trends-and-jobs-article This site and particular article shares the l...

  Welcome to the life of Doug Lombardo's class blog      My name is Doug Lombardo and I come from a modest home in Baltimore, Maryland. My family is made up of my mom and dad, my sister, and two brothers. Also, I have to include my dog Mowgli as a member of my family because he is just so special. I am sophomore at Florida State but my entire freshman year was spent abroad in Valencia, Spain. That experience changed my entire outlook on life and has greatly influenced my goals in life.       Throughout my days in school, I have used a plethora of different technological services. One of the services that I consistently use is excel. I took a class this past semester that entirely focused on excel and how to use it efficiently. I have also used Wix to create a website for my English class. We focused on a specific topic for the entire semester and had to create a website that this specific niche community would be engaged in. Other t...
