Hello Everyone !!!
Just sitting here thinking about how far I've came from the beginning of my TIE300 course until now. In the beginning of the course I was extremely nervous starting off and didn't think I would do to well because I wasn't technology literate. I honestly never really been into social media and didn't have to many experiences with technology . This class has taught me how to use social media sights such as Twitter which I found very useful because it allowed me to come up on different resources for teachers through educational pages. It also allowed me to network with different teachers and build my pln. This class has made me feel more comfortable with presenting to an audience. I presented my first prezi presentation in this class https://prezi.com/odcjo_jmh70g/ezzard-charles-daycare/. Prezi was one of my favorite tools I learned how to use and will continue to use for my future presentations. Another, one of my favorite tools I will continue to use is Smore. Smore is a great website to use to create newsletters , or creative flyers. Here is one the first back to school flyers I created using the website www.smore.com https://www.smore.com/jzc9u-teddy-bear-s-corner but will definitely not be the last. I'm going to continue to use this website and recommend all future teachers to use this create free website and yes I did say free. I honestly expected this course to be more harder than it was but it wasn't because my teacher broke things down in a way where I understood things and if I didn't understand it she had always had great examples to show exactly what she wanted to be done. She was also very patient, helpful, and positive. She always seemed to be very understanding and came right over with a very positive attitude when I seemed to miss steps on my assignments . I now feel more prepared because I have the necessary tools to help me become a great 21st century teacher.

Hello Everyone !!!
I'm back with a different topic for this weeks discussion . Last week in class we discussed Media Literacy in class. The first thing I talked about when my teacher introduced Media Literacy to us was Its our own understanding of how the media such as television is being portrayed to us. Even after that thought came about I still looked up media Literacy before she presented the prezi presentation. This is what I found when I did so
Media literacy is the ability to “read” television and mass media. Media literacy education teaches people to ACCESS, ANALYZE, EVALUATE, and PRODUCE media. Many studies suggest that such education can produce less vulnerable children and adolescents. National PTA’s, Teachers’ professional organizations, substance abuse prevention programs and the President have all endorsed media literacy. Children who understand the motivations and production techniques of media are less likely to adopt the destructive attitudes and behaviors that are depicted in the media. Media education represents a new and exciting approach to protecting children and adolescents from the unhealthy effects of media-an approach which is not dependent on Hollywood’s or Madison Avenue’s willingness to accept responsibility for its programming and advertising.
Based off the prezi presentation presented I learned whether I was media Literate of not which I am honestly not but working on getting there. Based off the prezi I learned Media Literacy is our interaction with media and the message we take from. I also learned Media Literacy for teachers could be gender issues, stereotypes, or misrepresentations . Media Literacy for students could be basic concepts, and persuasions. Here's the prezi utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copyto https://prezi.com/jljy8hokvy4f/media-literacy/?help you better get your own understanding of what Media Literacy Means to you.
Thanks for reading and talk to you all next week
