My name is Coya Osborne. I'm from Columbus, OH but I live in Cincy now. I live with my Godsister, my friend Brionna and a random roommate Carolina (who is really nice). I have a Jack Russell dog, his name is Boogie and he is one years old. i love him, a lot, he's like my lil baby. I also have a fish, named Deez and he's like one years old, but not too sure. I work for dELiA*s seasonally, which is awesome because I get a discount. And I love going to UC because I love being away from home. Teacher tools presntation: []

** 3. Model Digital-Age Work and Learning ** Teachers exhibit knowledge, skills, and work processes representative of an innovative professional in a global and digital society.

//c. Communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats.// // Since communication is so important, especially when it comes to teaching, digital networks and resources are great ways to do so with students, the parents, and peers. Types of digital communication, including Facebook, Wikispace, and Twitter can all be good ways of communicating as a teacher. Student will need to learn these resources and use them to effectively outside a classroom. For example, if a student is absent from school or unable to make it to a class a student and teacher should be able to communicate using a digital network as an e-mail source or chat source. This could help by filling the student in on what they missed and what they need to do, etc. This can also be used in Wikispace as class discussions, by bringing the class together outside of school but still able to conduct some form of learning. Then there are sites like Diigo and Delicious where teachers can post assignments, add web pages, and more. Teachers also need to find ways to communicate with the students parents, which can be through e-mail on Facebook or through Facebook chat. This can help with accuracy of attendance with the students, making sure that the parents are well aware of what is going in the classroom, and keeping the parent’s updated on the lasted school news. Overall, digital-age communication needs to be in classrooms. It has helped me understand better ways to conduct a classroom and what happens outside the classroom. Keeping students on tract and teaching more resources, and parents updated on the students progress. //

Reflection 2 a. Teachers design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity.  Teachers have so many options for ways to teach their students. They can lecture, read, write, have discussions, experiments, group projects, computers, and more. The tools to teach really open up the options for teaching and really give the students more ways to learn. Since not every student learns the same way anyway, this makes it even better. For example if a teacher is giving a lecture and the student is more of a visual or hands-on learner, this would make it more difficult for that student. When using technology as a tool in the classroom, the teacher also needs to keep in mind that not all students can learn that way. Not all students are capable of using computers. It is definitely apparent that teachers need to use several different teaching strategies. That way the students get a more even experience. You can lecture some of this, have discussions or that, and so on. It makes it more diverse as far as learning in more ways.
