Copyright and fair use have been created so people can't steal other people's work. Furthermore, copyright protects authors from people using their work and claiming it as their own. Fair use allows select copyrighted material to be used in certain situations such as, reporting, teaching, and research without any permission or payment to the creator. As a teacher, I would always make sure the material I use falls under the fair use doctrine and is not being used illegally. I would also make sure my students are following these guidelines and completing their work legally.

There are several issues when it comes to implementing technology in the classroom. Teachers must be aware of these issues and know how to deal with them. Some of these issues include, academic dishonesty, cyberbullying, decreased productivity, and student privacy. As a teacher, I would implement rules that forbid academic dishonesty. If I witnessed any student breaking these rules, I would fail them for that assignment and write them up. If I witnessed a student cyberbullying someone online, I would inform their parents, report it to the principal and make sure the student was held accountable. I understand that cyberbullying is very serious and should be treated as such.

Working on the newsletter design I acquired many new skills. To begin, I learned how to make columns/ charts. I also learned how to paste a cluster header into Word. Another thing I learned while completing the assignment was how to create a hyperlink. Finally, I learned how to create a zip file on my computer. Overall, this assignment taught me many different skills that I will use in the future. When I’m a teacher, I will definitely create newsletters and use these techniques. In the future, I could learn how to put a border around my cluster header.

  When creating my website, I learned a lot of new useful skills. To begin, I learned how to navigate the website design service, Weebly. Furthermore, I learned how to create pages, insert hyperlinks, and imbed a calendar. I really liked this assignment because I’ve always wanted to know how to create a website. I’m going to use what I learned from this assignment when I create a webpage for my future students.  http://msjuliealva.weebly.com   Over the past few weeks I’ve learned several new skills on Diigo. Furthermore, I learned how to upload articles to a class, highlight, and take notes on information. In my future classroom, I plan on uploading articles for my students to annotate. This will help me ensure my students are focused on what they are reading. I can use Diigo with team members to share helpful articles and share our thoughts through notes. Individually, I can use Diigo to archive articles that I think could benefit me. As technology advances, teachers have to make

Prior to this class, I have never used Twitter. Downloading it I didnt know what to expect. As I've used the app I've noticed that it is pretty simplistic and easy to navigate. For a previous portfolio assignment we had to join an education related chat which I've never done before. I thought this was a cool way to talk about relevant educational topics and get other people input and ideas. I will definitely be participating in chats like this when I become a teacher. It's a great way to develop and advance as a teacher. The Digital Divide addresses the divide between people who do and don't have access to technology. The Digital Divide creates a disparity among students. Furthermore, students who have technology access at home are said to be at a greater advantage for educational success than students who do not. As a classroom teacher I will have to understand that not every student will have access to a computer and the internet at home. I will make sure that eve

The purpose of the ELA technology standards is to prepare students for technology use in and out of the classroom. The tools suggested are not required however can be very beneficial to students. I chose the LAFS.6.RI.3.7 standard for grade 6 wh ich integrates information presented in different media or formats as well as in words to ultimately develop a coherent understanding of a topic or issue. Students will use tools to create online video/media albums, charts, and timelines. As of now I think I need more practice to feel comfortable implementing this in a classroom. I feel this way because I have a very beginner skill set. The CPALMS Educator Toolkit website has many useful resources and tools for teachers. I chose a resource under the grade 3 mathematics category titled, “Nature Walk: Fractions Less Than 1 on a Number Line”. This is a very captivating and fun resource that I would definitely use in my classroom. This resource provides many audio recordings of a math lesson with
