Emma Ruhe EDEC 232

January 23, 2022

Hello!

My name is Emma Ruhe and I am an early childhood education major and am in my fourth year at Ashland University. I am so excited to document my experiences on this blog during this course!


    Upon graduation, my goal is to get a job as a first grade teacher in an inclusion classroom. I have always struggled in school because of a situation I cannot control, and I do not want anyone else to have to go through that pain again. I am always looking for new ways to make learning more interesting for students and so as I continue my journey on becoming a teacher, I look forward to learning more about the ways to bring technology into the classroom. 

A Little About Me 

I was born in Mansfield, Ohio on March 28, 2000 and am 21 years old now. I grew up in Ontario and went to Ontario Local Schools my whole life. In High School, I was the Varsity goalie on the women's soccer team. I was also a member of key club and student council and was very involved with school spirit. I graduated from there in May of 2018 and went on to go to Ashland University where I would play soccer and begin my nursing career. Nursing didn't work out for me so well as I decided that was not the path for me. After searching for major after major, I finally found the best fit for me, but deep down, it was probably already in the back of my mind. I finally switched my major over to education and have been happier ever since. I decided to make some changes in my life. I left the soccer team so that I could stay focused on my studies. I joined a sorority to make more friends. I finally found the best career choice for me, and I am excite d to learn how to make learning more fun for me students through technology.

 How might a teacher design the learning experiences to include digital devices?   Before I started taking an educational technology course, I would have never thought I would want to use so much technology in my classroom. I have never loved to use computers and I always knew the bare minimum I needed to know. Taking this course taught me to look at things differently in the fact that technology is a very important tool in education. It is a super cool way to be able to get everyone learnings needs' at once. Technology is a great way to grab your student's attention and get them to interact and engage in the class no matter the age group. I have five different items that I feel I would like to start out with when I become a teacher myself.  Five technology devices to incorporate in my classroom: 1. Google Classroom : This Google service allows teachers to organize their class, interact with students, grade their work, check on their progress, etc. Since this account is created

  In what ways can PK-12 teachers use web 2.0 tools with mobile devices for teaching and                                                                                     learning?  An important question that many teachers may have is what are web 2.0 tools? Web 2.0 tools are free digital programs that can be used for creating and sharing student-generated projects and products. They are interactive, multi-purpose, easy-to-use, and share individualized response products. These tools provide engaging ways students can interact with, and most importantly learn from the course material. The are particularly helpful when aligned to teaching and assessment excursuses meant to increase student engagement, require students to summarize information, or to verbalize other information rather than using traditional writing exercises. Web 2.0 tools also provide students an opportunity to interact with others as they share their knowledge. Students can collaborate with classmates to create respon
