    Welcome, fellow tech enthusiasts, to the 24/7 trap spot blog where we dive headfirst into the world of technology as it relates to teachers at the elementary level. Buckle up, because today our topic focuses on technology standards the unsung heroes and villain's to the digital age. 

Let us focus our attention on the entry level into education, Kindergarten. The technology standard for them examines a range of digital technologies to create and publish writing, including working with peers, under the supervision and support of adults. This through the use of technologies like smartboards, scholastic activities, online storybook creators, and digital creative spaces like paint. Based on my current skill set I feel prepared to implement this standard because with resources like the smartboard it allows the students to hear and visualize words, letters, numbers. This also allows for the students to engage in friendly games that encourage growth and cognitive thinking.

According to a video lesson plan found on the CPALMS for teaching kindergarten level math. The lesson plan provides you with an alternative way to teach your students about comparing and contrasting different shapes that they learned and why their differences make them unique. The bubble diagram that is demonstrated in this video allows students to creatively make their own connections because they literally put the two things they are comparing and then they draw the lines and bubbles to their ideas. However the site is a great resource for newer and veteran teachers because it gives them new ways to liven up their lesson plan and foster connection with the students. 

Furthermore, being proficient in internet searching as a teacher is crucial because it enables them to access a vast array of resources to enhance the teaching material and student engagement. With the world at their fingertips they have the ability to rely on up-to-date information, educational videos, lesson plans, etc. Additionally, proficient internet searches allows teachers to stay hip and current with the developing trends that students follow to further encourage engagement and foster those relationships. Moving forward I will continue to use the different databases like google, YouTube, tik tok, and common online sources in my classroom setting.

Blog 8: Webpage Design ft. AI

Website:  Welcome back to another 24/7 trap blog post where today we will be discussing the ever-evolving world of technology and education, I've recently embarked on a journey that has not only broadened my skill set but also deepened my understanding of the association between design and functionality. Working on this web design assignment for class has equipped me with invaluable skills that I can carry forward in my career. Through this project, I delved into various design principles such as simplicity, consistency, and visual hierarchy. (The webpage you're viewing was created by me but I blog under a Pseudonym : Michelle Pourier)  For example, on my website, I strategically employed Color Theory in crafting my "About Me" flyer located under the " About Me " tab. Pastel colors were deliberately chosen to evoke specific emotions aligned with the atmosphere I aimed to create for students and families visiting my webpage. These hues, often associated with

My take on Digital Natives

  Blog Post 2:  My experience:  In my experience through K-12 words didn't become a thing to learn until middle school. In the elementary school I attended we wrote our essays old school...that's right paper and pencil. When I went to sixth grade that's when Word became more available the school district I was in provided all of their students with a free Office 365 subscription. This meant we were provided with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, note, outlook, etc. The first time I used Microsoft was to create a brochure for my sixth-grade literature class. The brochure had to be based on the different settings from the book "The Westing Game" that we were reading. Now that I am in college I use many word-processing apps such as Grammarly and Google Docs. I prefer to use Grammarly to help me with punctuation, wordy sentences, and other improvements in my writing then I paste that into Google Docs because they are better at catching my citation errors than Grammarly is.  Ag
