     In my classroom I would take copyright and fair use very seriously. I believe plagiarism is a troubling issue and very important to address as soon as it becomes something I am made aware of. To combat this, I will use software such as Turnitin to vet my students work for possible plagiarism and will address it directly. When it comes to my lessons, I will be very cautious to make sure every resource I use is within the guidelines of both copyright and fair use. I do not believe it is fair to use another person's work and write it as my own which is why I will choose to follow this very carefully. In my reading I have learned the importance of informing my students on the laws of copyright and fair use and I believe I will take this into my career to emphasize the significance of giving credit for the work of others.
     I believe a technology implication issue which would be relevant in my classroom is decreased productivity. Many students do not find history very interesting so they tend to tune the professor or teacher out in favor of their favorite social media application. This leads to a decrease in productivity since students are not learning in lecture, the work required both in and out of the classroom can be hard to comprehend. In order to combat this, I will attempt to keep my students as engaged as they can be, asking questions and using other media such as videos in addition to lecture. I think if students are engaged in the classroom, they will be productive outside of it. 
     While working on the Newsletter design assignment I learned many new skills. I learned how to work with Canva as well as how to make my project visually appealing. Something I struggled with was saving the assignment as both a word document and a PDF however, I eventually figured it out. I can use the skills I learned from this assignment to make visually appealing infographics and newsletters for my classroom so students are more likely to actually read it. Overall, I like the final product of my newsletter and I am excited to put these skills to use in the future.

      In this class I am hoping to learn lots of things. I believe an online presence has become increasingly important in education as times have continued to change. The need to be educated in online presence began with Covid-19, the entire world shut down and schools had to manage a way to not lose out on half a semester of content. They did the incredible and managed to finish out the school year online, sure it was not perfect but it was the best that could have been expected with such uncharted circumstances. We need to be skilled in an online presence and able to work online in case something such as a global pandemic were to shut down the world, the education system still needs to continue. I also am looking to learn about different resources available to teachers online, this is vital to my future career as a teacher and will allow me to be as successful as possible.       For as long as I can remember in school we have used online resources t...

       The standard I chose was SC.912.EET.1.7, this standard is for grades 9-12. It describes the way technology has impacted the way people create and run organizations and the way technology has come to impact day-to-day life. I believe I can implement this standard since technology has become such a major factor in schools and in the outside world. To do so I would inform students of technology we will use in the classroom and carefully make sure all students feel comfortable with the technology.       I think the resources found on the CPALM page can be very helpful for students. For example, there are lessons on there such as 'How can I pay for college', many students choose not to go to college because they do not think they can afford it. However, resources such as this provide valuable lessons for important daily matters which are not ordinarily taught in schools. Another example of this is the source titled, 'The Cuban Missile Crisis and...

     Being a product of public school, I have only ever used Microsoft word for my processing software needs. At this point in my life, I would say I am 75% fluent in Word; to me it is the most user-friendly software available. I have tried other software such as google docs and I have found it confusing and difficult to navigate, I tend to stick with Word. I do not think I will use a different software, especially in education; as students learn their way around it and all of its capabilities, they will need the help bar and tutorials which word can provide.       I found the ISTE standard for educators very interesting. This resource is a road map for educators to be the best they possibly can. The standard I found most meaningful is standard 2.4 Collaborator, I think it is important to admit that someone may be able to help you with something you may not understand and there is a possibility to learn from everyone. Specifically, I thought 2.4 b Lear...
