Educational Technoogy Spring 2019

I have decided to view Mr. John Stinchfield's website , a wonderful English teacher at Florida State University Schools. Mr. Stinchfield teaches AP Language and Composition and  English III (honors), which is typically eleventh grade. On his website he has an about me page that informs us on his: educational background, professional experiences, certifications, professional affiliations, research activities, dissemination and service. On all the pages there is a link to the Syllabi as they corresponds with the class he teaches (AP. Lang and English 3), the journals for each period and he post the weekly lesson plans and units.

LAFS.910.WHST.3.8 Gather relevant information from multiple authoritative print and digital sources, using advanced searches effectively; assess the usefulness of each source in answering the research question; integrate information into the text selectively to maintain the flow of ideas, avoiding plagiarism and following a standard format for citation.  -I feel most prepared with the standard above because I basically been doing this since my very first semester of college. Majority of the courses that I have taken over the years required me to find effective sources for assignments.
