@lisandr43239162 I found it quite a thrill while putting mine together myself. I definitely learned a lot to take with me into the classroom. #ucf21literacies

I never created my own web page until this course. As difficult as I thought it would be, I found it quite simple and a bit intriguing during the process. After completion it felt good to have something to share my teaching philosophy with the world. #ucf21literacies

@gabriellaengli4 And those courses will only enhance our ability to educate ELL’s because we will already be ESOL certified being UCF grads, but the extra training and practice would be very beneficial #ucf21literacies

If it’s one thing I took from my classes this semester, it’s that making connections is one of the most important aspects of being an effective teacher. Being digitally literate can be very useful in helping to establish those connections. #ucf21literacies

Time management is a crucial aspect of classroom management. There are digital tools that can help educators keep an organized schedule and to remain on task. These tools will definitely benefit me as a teacher. #ucf21literacies

@Ben__Glickman I feel you Ben. Although tech has made teaching a lot more effective, we as a nation thrived so we’ll when there was just good old pen and paper. I’m sure we will find a place to have traditional reading and writing in our class #ucf21literacies

@AustinCavel Positive feedback on successful achievements do wonders in the encouragement of our students. I have to be aware of those teachable moments when encountered with one. #Ucf21literacies

Creating text sets including digital media is a great way to enhance student’s learning experience and their understanding of a piece of literature, major topic, or theme. #Ucf21literacies

I’m starting my social media fast at this moment. No instagram, since this is the only social media platform I use but do use frequently. It shouldn’t be that hard. I can’t to wait to report my findings. #Ucf21literacies

@nicolerdamico I delivered furniture to a customer who was an educator. She discovered my career goals through our conversations and she started sharing stories and concerns that really fueled the passion I have for wanting to become a teacher. It made me feel important.

[Tasne Sullivan JR @tasnejr]

I just witnessed how making connections with other educators, expressing concerns, sharing accomplishments, and sharing ideas helps to keep you motivated about this career choice #ucf21literacies

Creating a website for a person that is not so tech savvy can have its frustrations, but there are so many benefits to having one. Communication of information is the key concept for being a good teacher. #ucf21literacies

[Tasne Sullivan JR @tasnejr]

@gabriellaengli4 That’s awesome. Ebooks are becoming the new wave. I witness so many people reading on electronic devices more than ever now. #ucf21literacies

[Tasne Sullivan JR @tasnejr]

Incorporating technology into a lesson plan can expand a student’s understanding and comprehension of the assignment. #Ucf21literacies

[Tasne Sullivan JR @tasnejr]

@Ialayon123 I couldn’t agree more. Like you mentioned, using and understanding digital media an enhance student’s abilities in so many ways.

[Tasne Sullivan JR @tasnejr]

Digital literacy is not just important for students to have, teachers should make themselves fond of all the digital tools there are to make teaching more engaging for students and to utilize tools to be a more effective communicators #ucf21literacies

[Tasne Sullivan JR @tasnejr]

@Ben__Glickman I agree with you. I have to many times have to teach a lesson off a plan that the students are not engaged with. This is why been aware of your students personalities and mind sets is so important #ucf21literacies

[Tasne Sullivan JR @tasnejr]

@AudreyWiseELA You’re right. A teacher’s compassion can go a long way with students. Students can see right through a person and if a teachers actions aren’t sincere, a student can pick up on it. #ucf21literacies

[Tasne Sullivan JR @tasnejr]

This digital age is really fascinating to me. There’s so much we can do with technology, it’s no wonder that reading is taking place more on digital devices than print text. I hope this gets students who don’t like to read more motivated to read. #ucf21literacies #rif
