Learning Log #3


a. Which tools do you find useful or appropriate for your subject area?
b. How will you incorporate these tools in your unit plan?c. How will you use these tools in your future teaching profession?

              Considering Science as my subject area, Sharing and Collaborating Tools, the tools that I found useful.This includes the drive, docs, slides, sheets and forms. Especially right now that I am taking-up ''Methods of Research'' subject this tools help me a lot. This gives me confidence, assurance and safety  of the important files that I need for my research. I do not need flash drive in saving my files which made me bother sometimes because of the tendencies that it will became nonfunctional and maybe from time to time all the efforts that I spend searching for the related literature of my topic will just come to nothing. Like what I had experience before, in doing my term paper, it took most of my time in searching the information about my topic. I did not use drive before and in just a moment all that I had searched was lost and it make me felt disappointed and wanted not to finished my paper because I will start again from the beginning. But I had no choice. And I don't want that I will encounter that kind of experience right now. I tried to use my google drive and it really help me organize also my files.Good thing is I can access and edit it anywhere and anytime. 
                Likewise, for my unit plan, I can incorporate this tool by saving it in my google drive in order that I can edit it when there were new ideas. I can also access it easily when will want to make changes and let other people comments for the improvement of my lesson plan. I am also sure of the security of my file.
                As a teacher in the future, I know that there were lots of forms, documents, sheets and file that I will encounter. At least I know where to save my files and every other important documents. This will help me manage my time because if there will be urgent conferences and I will forget the documents that I need to comply I will easily access it and do not need to go back in home or in school.

Learning Log #2


a. What are the ISTE standards that you possess? Please cite specific personal experiences where in you portray such standards?                         
               
               I am very conscious of what I will post in the digital world. Sometimes I posted in my timeline just for self satisfaction . Yes, I posted yet I am the only one reading my post. "Only me". Every time I am facing a computer, thinking of what I want others to know about me, I will evaluate first the content. I will always consider first my readers, or my friends in the social networking world. That is why I can say that one of the ISTE standard that I possess is being a Digital Citizen. I am very conscious of what I will post in the digital world.

I will always consider first my readers, or my friends in the social networking world. That is why I can say that one of the ISTE standard that I possess is being a Digital Citizen.
                 Being a Digital Citizen, I know my rights and responsibilities when I am in the digital world. The way I behave online be the same way I behave in the real life. Although everyone could be the someone when in cyberspace, observing netiquette is very important. Like the way of communication in cyberspace, the words are written and there are chances of misinterpretation depending upon the mood of the reader. That i way, I am so mindful in using the right punctuation while having a chat online especially those individual that I met only online. 
              I am making sure of my safety and and privacy. After doing the things that I need to do, I always log-out my account.I did not left the computer open to any other users because there were tendencies that they can attack me and may felt bad online, though I am not really the one doing It. I should think first before I click!
b. As a future teacher, in what ways can you develop these standards among your students?

               

                Being a digital citizen is very essential to be develop in the students especially to recognize their rights, responsibilities, opportunities of living, learning and working in an interconnected digital world and they act and model in way that are safe, legal and ethical. This could not be attain by the students without teachers as their facilitator. And it is the responsibility of the teacher to monitor the behavior of his/her students online.
               As a future teacher, it is very sad for me to read post online about fighting, backbiting and using the social network to destroy the dignity of the person. And I can say that I don't want that my students in the future will be engage in that kind of situation. Acting as if they were very popular in showing  the dark spots of others.
               And I can only do this by sharing what I learn to them and letting them know the do's and don'ts in behaving online. Moreover, I will also planned to conduct an orientation for my students so that they will be aware in acting in the cyberspace. In order that I can monitor them, I will make my students friend online so that I will know what they are doing. So that whenever they behave unpleasing online I can directly chat them personally until they will know and understand the proper netiquette.
