My Floating Journey

  How do you define one’s Digital Footprint in your own words?  From my own point of view, digital footprints are when you use the Internet, you leave a mark that people can track or find out what kind of person you are in terms of the work you do. A person needs to understand that whatever they do on the net will stay forever. You must be careful in what you do because it will reflect on you. This is very important because it can ruin your name or make you popular. Either way, the digital footprint can be good or bad depending on what is posted or what you do on the internet. Is this an important topic to teach your students? Why or why not?  I think this is an important topic to be discussed because students nowadays are posting things that are either good or bad, and they don't think about the consequences of their actions.

    List your 3 biggest takeaways from the readings.        First , learning styles if we study the learning styles, it will make learning fun and engaging.

For the SEL, I know that it really helps my students to be creative in answering questions, and it makes them really focus on the lesson we are doing. For integrating technology, I can see that students are more into technology and love to use technology in doing their work. They become creative and innovative when a task is given to them to complete or find using technology. For Google Forms, I know if they learn to use it, they will create work that will be better than what I created.   What Facebook group OR YouTube channel did you join?      I haven't joined any Facebook or YouTube channels, but I love watching channels that have to do with teaching, so I can apply their method and...
