"As a future teacher, how will you become a good digital citizen?"

Hi, hello, hola again everyone! Welcome to blog ni maria. In this blog, we will talk about on how to become a good digital citizen as a future teacher.

We all know that in this generation, the 21st century, we live in a digital world. A digital world wherein there is constant widespread of internet access. There were devices like smartphones, tablets, and technologies that makes living more easy. These are some factors that contributes into a world wherein digital technologies play a huge role in our personal lives. We are all aware that as time passes by, there are rapid advancements in digital technology.

As a future teacher, it is vital to know the proper etiquettes on using the internet and all digital technologies. To be a good and better digital citizen as future teacher, I should be a role model to my future students. I will demonstrate the right digital behavior and proper etiquettes in my online interactions. Respecting others online, checking my grammar before posting, and most of all is to think before I click. These are just some of the proper etiquettes in online interactions. Sharing things that are only educational and helpful to the lives of many people. I should be also a keen observer in this online world because fake news are everywhere. I should not tolerate the behavior of being unethical online. As a future teacher, my goal is to learn all the laws in the digital world so that I know all the do's and don'ts online. Being a good digital citizen start within myself. Learning all the things that will help me to become digitally aware and a good digital citizen in this 21st century. As a future teacher, I should keep in mind to practice those digital etiquettes so that in the near future I will be able to teach my students the good practices for online communication such as using emphaty in digital interactions. I will ensure that my future students will comprehend the significance of respecting intellectual properties online. I will tell them that it is important to cite sources when getting informations to different online resources. My students should be aware that plagiarism is not a good and proper behavior of being a good digital citizen. And being bully online is also not a proper behavior. The most important thing that I can do now is to think of strategies that I can use when I will teach in the future. The digital wellness strategies and assessments that will also help my future students to become a good digital citizens as well in this digital world.

Living in this technological and digital world should be balance. We should not over share our personal things. In life, it is important to be private. We should always keep our information safe and secure. We should always remember that we are not the only ones who can see what we do and post online. We should be very demure and very mindful as well. Everyone of us are worthy of kindness and respect.

"STAGE PREPARATION"

(The In-service training on “Enhancing Students’ Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills”)

Hi, hello, hola again everyone! Welcome to blog ni maria. In this blog, I will share my experiences in preparing the stage for the in-service training on “Enhancing Students’ Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills”

Last May 02, 2024, the students of the class TTL 101 were tasked to prepare the stage for the in-service training of the faculty members of our school. I am one of the students who helped in preparing and designing the stage.

During our time of the TTL 101, our instructor told us to help in preparing the audio-visual room for the said training. Me and my other classmates went to the audio-visual room to checked it. Then we also went to the DASTE faculty room to get the clothes/tela. We went back to the audio-visual room and started designing the stage. I helped in putting the yellow cloth/tela on the floor of the stage to make it more alluring.

It was indeed a great feeling of accomplishment and happiness knowing that we have done something. Even though we are not good in designing, we still managed to give our very best in making the stage presentable for the in-service training of the faculty members.

“Celebrating Growth: The Rite of Affirmation Ceremony for Teacher Interns”

Room and Stage Prep :)

Hi, hello, hola everyone! Welcome to blog ni maria. In this blog, I will share my experiences before and during the Rite of Affirmation Ceremony for Teacher Interns.

Last March 22, 2024, the Department of Arts & Sciences and Teacher Education (DASTE) held the Rite of Affirmation Ceremony for Teacher Interns. Before the ceremony, there were a lot of preparation that we’ve made.  I, as a pre-service teacher of the DASTE helped in the preparation for this activity.

As an education student, it is our task to work hard in order to have a successful activity for our department. On the very first day of the preparation for the ceremony, the education students went to the Audio-Visual Room to clean. I am one of the students who's tasked was to get the decorations from the DASTE Faculty. After getting the decorations, we proceed immediately to the Audio-Visual Room to decorate. I helped in preparing the clothes or the tela that were used to decorate the stage. I also helped in fixing the chairs to be used for the pinning ceremony.

After the cleaning and all the decorations, we practiced our parts for the ceremony. Luckily, I am one of the students who's tasked was to lead the para-liturgy. We had a short run through for the ceremony that will happen the next day.

On the 22nd of March 2024, the most awaited day of the teacher interns. With the theme, “LE CAVE: Lighting Excellence: Cultivating Aspiring Visionary Educators. The first part of the ceremony was the entrance of the teacher interns together with their parents and the faculty and staff of the DASTE. After that was the para-liturgy wherein, I am the one to lead the opening prayer. I can say that this event was a great experience for me as a pre-service teacher. I know that by these things there will be a lot of opportunities. Those opportunities will lead me to do my best so that when the time also comes wherein, we are the ones to experience candle lighting and pinning.

This event would not be a success without the Paulinian Student Teacher Association (PSTA) and all the students under the Department of Arts & Sciences and Teacher Education.
