     Copyright and fair use are going to be lingering concepts once I am a teacher trying to use resources to teach my students. I will always be sure to give credit to whoever the author is of the work that I wish to use. I think that my students should also understand these two concepts so that stealing doesn't occur. I hope that once I am a teacher, I can be creative in my own way to create classroom resources for my students.

    Cyberbullying was not that large of an issue when I was younger, but it is now with the ever-growing implementation of technology in everything we do. As a teacher, I will promptly introduce the issue of cyberbullying to my students and show them examples of what it is. I think using a matching activity of what counts as cyberbullying and what doesn't to further understand students' understanding of the concept could be helpful. The consequences of cyberbullying will also be addressed, even the extreme ones, so that students fully grasp the severity of cyberbullying.

    The Newsletter Design assignment has helped me gain the skills of creating an aesthetically pleasing letter that I could take inspiration from in the future. Using MS Word features, such as creating columns and utilizing different fonts, are things that I've also gained knowledge about. In terms of improving my newsletter for the future, I think I will do more research on how to summarize things so that the articles aren't too crowded. Moreover, I plan to implement a more fun look that appeals to my students as well, hopefully getting them excited to show their parents the newsletter!

    Here is my newsletter:

     In this class, I hope to learn about the ways that teachers use technology in the classroom. There are so many applications out there, and I hope that this class can scope out the most effective ones that teachers should use. Especially with the growing influence of technology, I think that this class is important for future educators, like myself, to be able to familiarize themselves with important technologies that can be utilized in the classroom. I am excited to be able to apply what I learn in this class when I am an educator in four years!     Using technology in an educational setting is something that I believe almost every person does nowadays. Whether it is using a phone for communicating with classmates, or a laptop to type and complete assignments, technology is everywhere in classrooms today. Personally, I love to take advantage of my technologies during academic times because of the efficiency of it. Being able to reach professors immediately,...

     As my time as a student, MS Word has been something that I've consistently utilized for many things. I desperately prefer MS Word over things like Notepad or Google Docs because of the features that MS Word offers. I am very comfortable using MS Word over those other platforms, and I think it is very easy to navigate, as well. MS Word has aided me with creating countless essays, research papers, assignments, and more. I will always use MS Word over any other platform!     The ISTE Standards for Educators has one particular standard that sticks out to me: Collaborator. I think that as an educator, it is vital to have the skills to work with other educators and the students to solve problems. Something that I didn't think about before was how educators are learning with the students as they are trying to teach them. I think that this is an interesting fact because I thought that teachers had to be certified to be "all-knowing" with what they teach and what st...

      Blogging is something that I never thought I would do. However, it has been very interesting to see how easy it is to do, and how functional it is because everything is easily accessible and in one place. There's nothing that I can think of about how I don't like blogging, it's nice and easy! Something that I have learned during the blogging process so far is that it can be easy to go back and edit a published blog. This helps me to not worry about if I made any mistakes on my blog because I can always fix it.     A Web 2.0 tool that I can use as a teacher is YouTube ( https://www.youtube.com/). This tool is a platform where users can post videos and accumulate followers, comments, likes, and shares. Many helpful videos with a variety of topics can be found on this website. As a teacher, YouTube can be helpful to show students fun videos when learning a new topic to make it more engaging and interesting for the students.     My initial experience...
