 1. Copyright is the complete legal right given to an originator to authorize others to do the same. Essentially, it is the original idea trademarked and owned by writers so that no one else can say the post the same text word for word without the expressed consent of the trademarked writer. Fair Use is the practice where copyrighted material may be quoted as long as it is quoted exactly as it was originally. Of course, credit must be given to the author as well. As a teacher, I would teach my students the importance of these two concepts as well as how to properly quote and credit. I would also stress the importance this skill of quoting will be in college. 

2. Lack of Funding: Lack of Funding deals with the fact that the United States doesn't fund education compared to other sects of the government, such as military and campaign spending. To bring awareness to this issue, I must encourage students to do their own research into policies surrounding public education that compares and contrasts the education in their own communities and around the nation. I can also vote in local elections that influence school funding and raise awareness about that too. Doing so can create a healthy relationship with students and their families.

Cyberbullying: Cyberbullying deals with the actions of both young adults and "matured" adults who harass other users online. Cyberbullying can be found on websites such as Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook and is essentially abuse perpetrated amongst individuals in the online world. Examples include racism, sexual harassment/abuse, stalking, taunting/name-calling, and many more examples. Teaching students about the consequences of bullying and how damaging it can be to both the victim and perpetrator will be important. Hopefully, it can help students think twice before posting something online.

3. Canva offers new skills that are easily obtainable such as website building, newsletter editing, and diagram designs where you can create colorful and unique styles of art. In this most recent assignment, I learned new skills in editing banners and WordArt. This can be incredibly useful for teachers who are able to express their artistic ability to their students in a online atmosphere by creating headers, banners, newsletter, or simple messages at that. Such an editing skill can also be used to pursue other career possibilities in journalism, local and private business, and/or promoting.

 1. I viewed the website of Deerlake Middle School and came across the profile of Joseph Miller. Publicly he has information like his job title and location, his work email, and photos of himself. He also has information about his educational and career accomplishments, and details of his home life. He also details his personal hobbies    https://www.leonschools.net/Page/37966    2. I view myself using a platform such as Microsoft Excel, Blogger, even the wiki platform that we used for a recent assignment. Websites such as those will simplify the organizational responsibilities of teacher like keeping tabs on grades and assignments for students. I see a lot of the tools we go over in class becoming beneficial when I pursue a career in teaching. Blogger and Powerpoint especially because organization is key and these websites allow for assignments and files to be organized.  3. I very much enjoyed using the wiki platform. I never used or even knew about ...

 1. I’ve used Microsoft Word my entire education career. I’ve always found the program user friendly and essential for both students AND teachers alike. I've found that assignments and essays can be done efficiently through Microsoft Word. I would like to expand my knowledge on formatting and the use of cover pages. I prefer the use of Microsoft Word because of the experience I've gained through it and how easy it is to send documents with it, whereas Google docs may take a few extra steps to get the right file format. 2. The ISTE Standards for Educators is a blueprint for efficient learning for both educators and students using new technology that the 21st century has offered. The Leader standard helps student confidence through access and engagement with such new technology. The mix of adequate teachers and the opportunity to meet the technological needs of several groups of students allows for the most capable learning for students. As teachers are role models by continuous...

 1. Ive thoroughly enjoyed using twitter so far this semester. i am an avid Twitter user outside of this class so using it for educational purposes is a lot of fun. i havent been interacting with too many people outside of some the tech talks, but i am always open to expanding my digital profile in terms of my educative twitter profile. twitter can be very useful in my career field. i can have classes follow a main twitter account (mine) and i will have updates on education talks and maybe reminders for certain students that assignment due dates are upcoming. twitter may be a distraction considering it is a popular social media site, but if used properly it can be a major help for students and teachers. 2. The digital divide influences students throughout the country. Be aware about the inequalities between certain ethnic groups such as minorities and the impoverished who face a lack of resources and the lack of accessibility to high speed internet. Some underprivileged students an...
