     The standard I have selected is the standard SC.6.TI.1.4. This standard is meant to teach students about the different technology-based career paths that are currently available in our world today. As of right now, I do not think I have the current skill set to effectively teach this course even though I have some knowledge on current technology-based field paths available such as computer engineering, IT technicians, etc, my knowledge is not that extensive. However, I feel like it is really easy to prepare to teach this subject and meet the standard by just conducting some quick research and writing down various examples of what these careers are and what they entail.         On the CPALM site, I went on the 4th grade English tool kit and selected the standard ELA.K12.EE.1.1, which requires its students to know how to cite evidence with the intent to explain and justify reasoning.

The reason this standard stuck out to ...

   In this class, my main hope is to be able to gain some clarity on whether teaching is actually a career choice that would be suitable for me. Additionally, being able to learn about the different resources I could use if I do decide to become a teacher also seems helpful, for I probably would not have learned about them if not for this class. Another hope I have for this class is to be able to become more skilled with technology. Although I already have a good understanding of how to use technology, I think I can further develop my skills through taking this class.       My prior experience using technology in an educational setting has varied over the years. In middle school, we would focus on typing skills to improve our typing speed and capabilities overall. However, in high school, we would use technology to create presentations, write papers, create resumes, and so forth.  Additionally, technology played a huge part in my freshman year of high ...
