Digital Scholar
Alot of people wonder what would being a digital scholar even look like in this time period and for a lot of us we really had no clue. But, to our surprise digital learning just showed us that there is more than one way to do things and that we can get things done whether we are online to complete task or we are face to face to do school. For me being a digital scholar is something that I very much enjoy I really enjoy learning online and doing things through my computer because school on the go is the truth. If you can learn online I feel you can literally do anything you put your mind to and that is just how you have to look at things. I love learning online so being a digital scholar for me and transitioning to online is long overdue.

Parent Letter
So in a classroom we have to implement new up to date things that will help keep our classrooms moving forward and on the up and up so in my classroom I will be using canvas. Canvas is a way I can upload school work test quizzes and assignments and students can check in the dash board to see what assignments they have to do daily. Parents can log in as well to check whats due for my class to track there child's progress as well. Me putting a lot of the work on canvas will keep my class as transparent as possible and keep it in a progressive forefront.
Essay #1
Is Technology The Future?
From what I have taken from this course technology is absolutely the future. For one we are in the middle of a pandemic where we have to learn through a computer screen and online. So, if it was not for technology we would’nt be able to continue with life the way that we are. On top of us learning online we are not able to see our families as much right now but, thanks to us having technology and technology advancements we are able to communicate with our loved ones through these trying times. I absolutely love the fact that we are able to include technology in our classrooms the way that we are because it makes it fun for the younger generations. Younger generations want to do everything through a screen so them being able to really get to learn in a classroom through a screen will help with them properly learning how to use technology the right way. Students need to be taught in a progressive way if you keep them in a good mood and ready to learn then they will they just have to stay motivated. But, you using up to date methods with your students will allow for students to learn at a faster pace because its things of there time and they will understand it a lot better. Children want to learn but it doesnt have to be so by the book we can make learning fun with technology tools and games we just have to know how to use them properly as instructors so that the students engagement levels stay high. Student engagement is the most important thing and the best way to get your students engaged is to honestly just know what they understand and how to help them to really grasp the information that’s being presented to them and I do feel that one of the best ways to present information to my students is through technology and I Do feel that technology is the future because without technology this America honestly would not know how to go through day to day functions we would be so lost. So, it is important that they just really find ways to get the information through to our students and help them find success through technology the best way that we can and in times like this it is imperative we know how to teach our students through technology and through the screen because if we do not we are going to be so lost . So, yes technology is the future.
Essay #2
What assignment was the most beneficial and why?
The most beneficial assignment that I did in this class was the technology tool project why? Because the technology tool presentations allowed for us to really think on what we would like to be as teachers and how we would run our classes and what types of technology we actually would be implementing in our classrooms. So, for me this assignment was really insightful I got to really see how I really wanted to implement technology in my classroom, and this assignment also allowed me to see what cool things my peers had in mind when it came to running there classrooms. We are all so different but, I know we all had different things that we all wanted to put in to our work and things we wanted to just really make sure that we got to see happen as future educators. So, I really enjoyed the fact that I got to do these presentations because I will be using canva, moodle and adobe spark in my future classrooms and things like kahoot and hopefully more so I really enjoyed doing my technology tool projects because with all of the things that we had to do this was definitely one of my favorites because like I said it really got me thinking what do I plan on doing as a future educator in the coming days to be with my students. As an educator I want my students to have the best experience and really have things that are going to help them be the best kinds of learners because without technology the world is lost so I really have to make sure I am keeping my students in a progreesive learning environment where I am giving them alot of different technology tools so that they see that there are alot of different things that they can use to do assignments and create portfolios and work in. So, you just have to really understand your students and what they need and hope that your giving them the right tools to be as successful as possible. So, without technology we wont be able to really get the things done that we need to so I am excited that I got to experience these projects and really see what it was like to do technology tool projects because I learned new things and got to see about new things I didn't even know existed or if I new of them didn’t quite know how to use it so this project really helped me in a lot of ways than one so this was the best assignment to me and that is how I will implement them in my classroom.
