Major: Elementary Education
Favorite Quote: "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." -Wayne Gretzky.
This is my favorite quote because it's a good reminder to keep trying and don't be afraid to go out of your comfort zone.(Another reason is also because it reminds me of my favorite show The Office)

I've lived here on Oahu my whole life. I spent several years living in Mililani and then moved to Palolo valley when I was about 6 years old. I work at a sandwich shop called Sprout and it's probably the best job I've ever had. In my free time I love to hike, go to the beach, and go to the park. I try to make time at least once a week to do one of these things. Life can get hectic, but it's nice to have things you enjoy doing.

My educational goals are to graduate KCC with my associates degree and then transfer to UH Manoa to obtain my bachelors degree. I had a difficult time deciding what major I wanted. But after spending some time working with kids, I knew I wanted this.

My career goals are to have my own classroom of elementary students. Growing up, I lost the motivation to learn because all teachers and parents cared about were good grades. Some seemed as if they didn't care if we actually learned anything; just as long as we got a passing grade. I want my students to love learning and continue to have that love of learning throughout their lives. One obstacle I have is money. My parents spent a lot of money on my brothers and I. They both finished college and I am the last one to go. I didn't want to burden my parents with more tuition bills, so I've decided to pay for my own school. They still help me when I need it, but I try to pay for most of it. I've been working a lot and also trying to stay in school and get on track. I have about three more years to go.

This project opened my eyes to the many apps available for teachers. It took me a while to get used to creating this, but it was fun getting to put this together. I'll be using Google Slides along with many other apps to create these kind of activities for my students. In Bloom's Digital Taxonomy, we use the standard creating because we had to create an app for this assignment. The 4 C's of 21st century learning's standard is creativity.

This assignment was a fun way to be able to create our own PSA's. I didn't know where to start with this project, but I got some inspiration from my classmates and also got great feedback on how to make it better. I can now create PSA's if I ever needed to for my own classrooms. The ISTE designer standard was used in this assignment as we had to design and create from scratch a PSA.

The SAMR model was represented in this project. Using iMovie, students will be able to create videos and get creative. This project was so simple, yet so complicated at the same time. Looking at it, it doesn't seem like a lot of time went into making it. But I tried my best to perfect it and get the right amount of information on it. In the future, I can create more of these myself and/or have my students create their own.

I got a thorough understanding of what Learning Science is. Going into the project, I had briefly read about the definition of learning science and I was worried because I had no clue what they were talking about. However, after talking with my group and researching more, we were able to fully understand what it is and were able to give lots of examples for it. Some standards used in this project are Bloom's digital taxonomy understanding and applying, and all 4 c's of 21st century learning. Throughout the semester, we had to communicate often. Then when we met up to discuss our project, we needed to be creative and use critical thinking to finish this project. Because learning science is about learning how people learn, we were able to find many different methods of teaching. We'll all be able to target every learning style.

The ISTE Standard designer was one standard used in this project. Also, Bloom's Digital Taxonomy standard of creating. This project made me think a lot about the standards that need to be met and what I need to do to meet them. It also led me to find many different websites that offer online activities and lessons I could use for my class.

ED 276 introduces students to the effective integration of technology to enhance 21st century teaching and learning. This course provides hands-on experience with technologies and collaborative applications to enhance student learning and professional development. Technologies and applications may include productivity, blogs, social networking, presentation, digital storytelling, graphics, multimedia, and other educational tools and emerging technologies. Topics such as technology standards for teachers, learning frameworks, digital citizenship, copyright and fair use, universal design for learning principles, and assistive technologies will also be addressed.

Upon successful completion of ED 276, the student should be able to:

1. Integrate technology to enhance 21st century learning, community, communication, and collaboration, citing relevant technology standards and learning frameworks.

2. Create innovative samples of work demonstrating effective and ethical technology integration.

3. Use technology to enhance professional development and continuous learning related to technology integration in education.

4. Apply awareness of universal design for learning principles in designing learning experiences for diverse learners.

5. Create a comprehensive electronic portfolio of work produced for the course.

I enjoyed the many different projects we had to do throughout the past several weeks. They were all different but still targeted the many standards we've learned about. I will be able to use all these assignments and lessons in my own classroom one day. I will know how to efficiently use technology to better my teachings. Personally, I wasn't used to the idea that students would be using so much technology at such a young age in classrooms. But after going through this course, I can see all the benefits that come out of it. One main obstacle I had throughout this course was my procrastination. I started off strong. I would complete my assignments a few days before the due date and start other assignments early. But I started to get back into old habits and wait till the last day (like I'm doing right now). I won't have this class anymore after today, but I will try my best to kick this old habit with my other classes. Thank you, Professor Malterre, for an amazing course.
