I have mainly used Word to write essays. My teachers have taught us how to use word but again they mainly used it for essays. I have taken notes as well online if I did not have access or if I forgot to bring my notebook. I still really like writing notes by hand but it is definitely useful because there can be multiple copies of your notes or essays online so if something spilled on you paper, you can just print out another one. If you hand write notes and you spill something on your notes, it can be unreadable and you might have to get notes from somebody else.

I have been taught time and time again how to cite the information I have used. Teachers usually like when you direct quote and explain what you think the person meant and your view instead of just paraphrase the whole article or paper or etc. You have to be very careful and pull from sources where it is okay to use their work like academic articles or textbooks. As a teacher I would stress the importance of citation and make sure that all my students understand what they put out on the internet is permanent even if its an app like snapchat where the picture might go away. I would also want my students papers to be submitted to turnitin and use websites like Purdue citation so they can use it as a reference or resource.

For copyright, a good way to make sure that papers are not copyrighted is if you turn it in to Turnitin.com. It will check and see if you took from sources online and if you copied it word for word. This is also a good thing to use for academic honesty if people said that they did not take from online sources. It will let you know how much of your paper was copied if any and your teachers can add any notes or help you cite properly if you are struggling with it. For privacy, maybe as a teacher, you can block certain websites and you can make sure that some assignments can be done from home if you are uncomfortable writing in school. I also feel like if you have certain apps on your computer that can let you know if a cite can is unsafe and can release your information. Also you have to be aware of what you post online.

I don't normally see public schools that have teacher resources out publicly. When teachers post inside of websites such as canvas where it is more catered to you, then they post resources. If there is something public, it would just give the basic information about how to contact the person. An example of this is the website for my mom's school. When you open up the faculty page it just provides teachers emails. However, there is a section for different grade levels, and it explains what they will learn by the time they graduate from that grade and what tools they incorporate. This is the website I used: http://www.cks-school.org/academics/ec4.cfm I can definitely use technology to help my students out. I feel that computer labs would be very beneficial for students to have so they can learn how to type. In my computer class, we had covers for the keys so we could try to memorize where the keys were. On top of that, we had a mini quiz/ fun activity to see how fast...

I really like that you can make comments on other people's comments. It was very difficult trying to find out who commented back on your post, but by highlighting and emphasizing something important that they say makes it easier for people to see. Overall Diigo is a great website. You can share multiple resources with your classmates and your teachers. You can share with either classmates, teammates or professionals some sources that you found if you are working on group projects and people can comment on some information that they can use for the project or whatever you wanted to use Diigo for. It is a great way to share information and similar websites that people can check out. There are 6 major points of Bloom's taxonomy. They are: remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, and create. For powerpoint, it is good to remember some notes or important points that you would want to incorporate in your powerpoint lesson. It can also help with understanding because the more...

So far my experience with Twitter is really good. Some of my classmates put really good criticisms and websites for me to look at. I often find myself, @-ing classmates, saying how amazing the technology is that they shared and some of their articles they post. It is a great way to communicate with classmates even if you are not in class. I really liked designing the website because it let me discuss a topic that I was interested in and also had creative license to design it the way I liked. I thought that everything was really easy for me to input like the calendar. There really was not any issues, but everything took a lot of time like any good website. I also inputted personal pictures that I took in France which was fun. https://eme2040fre.weebly.com/ I loved learning about technology that is able to help people with disabilities. I remember when I was in elementary school, I would take my free period and work with the special needs kids. They had a really cool hammock but ...
