Hello everyone,
In the ELA Standards for 6th grade teachers, standard 6 is using different types of media applications to show off a topic. Being able to show off the main idea or relative facts about a central topic is very essential and being able to do so using different apps like word or other video/photo softwares. Using this software to make something look pleasing and be able to grab the audiences attention while you are teaching them something, in my opinion makes for a better learning experience. I could implement this standard to my current skill set as of now, especially in applications like powerpoint and etc. I feel i have very common knowledge on powerpoint and word and could use that knowledge to carry out this standard.
In an 6th grade history/social studies class I believe that being able to tell the differences between ancient civilization and how they compare to the world today is a significant part of history. The standard SS.6.W.1.5 is an amazing one because it fits the script completely and I would implement it into a learning topic. It comes with an amazing resource which is like a template lesson plan which i could use as a brainstorming session for my own plan. Also there is even a web quest which is an added bonus because using technology to learn history can dig up some interesting facts. I would use this in my classroom because it will help students understand key points in different civilizations and compare and contrast them to each other and current ideas.
Internet searching as a teacher may be one of the most crucial things you can do. The internet is home to the most extensive information you can find. Of course there are a lot of fake things online and you can definitely fool yourself to believe something if you aren't paying attention to the source. The internet can provide you with activities for your students, even the most simple ones like a web search activity and allow the students to dig up information but, as the teacher your internet searching skills need to be used in order to inform the students about false information or bad sites to check. As the teacher searching the web with keywords can bring up relative topics and provide more info than a whole textbook. The internet searching skill where you use a hyphen and control your search to fit a specific category is a very helpful one because it narrows your search to a specific section and allows you to get the information fast and not spend time scrolling.
I like how you talked about Social Studies and how SS.6.W.1.5 related to an experience you had. And I believe it is important that you mentioned showing students bad sites to avoid.
