1. I have used Microsoft Word many times as a student and within the classroom as assigned by my teachers. From newsletters to making a schedule using the tables, or making a document to sign at the bottom, there are many different uses for Microsoft Word. I believe that Word is a very useful application, since many students have stopped taking notes and began using Word for notes. My teachers have printed out activities for us to do in the classroom using the Microsoft Word app. I have found Word very efficient when I'm creating a study guide for an exam.

2. Using information that is not originally stated by you is a very tricky topic and many students forget about plagiarism and copyright issues. In my previous classes, many of my teachers would ask me to always cite my resources using APA style. They have also asked me to create a references page with any outside sources. To avoid any copyright issues in the educational environment, I will use apps such as TurnItIn to detect any plagiarized material. I will also urge my students to cite their sources, as it will be part of the final grade of the assignment. 

3. Academic Dishonesty is one of the major downfalls of having technological implementation within our classrooms, but I have some ideas to avoid students from cheating. First, all quizzes my students will take will be in the classroom and supervised by me. Second, I will use a site such as Canvas that requires a test password, in order to even begin the exam. I believe this can reduce cheating and push students to be honest on their tests. Cyberbullying is another huge issue about technology, and that is why I am pushing to have all social media sites blocked off when using school wifi. I believe that being present in the classroom is KEY to being a successful student, and using social media to bully others is a complete distraction.

    Intellectual property is an important issue and it is often missing in our education system. Most people seems to only know about the reference list and care about plagiarism, but it is much more than that. Everybody seems to have heard of it but not a lot of classes address the fair use unfortunately.

    BTW, you don't have to write in bullets 123. Try to come up with a theme for your blog and develop some continuity in it (:

I really enjoyed my experiences with Diigo, it was very useful when annotated and creating notes. I liked that we were able to share with our classmates what we were annotated. It allowed them to go back into the article and see which exact section we were annotating. I didn't like how the website what set up though, it was a bit confusing and seemed very old school. I would use this in my classroom if it was a bit more modernized. So far throughout the semester, I have enjoyed blogging about my assignments and my aspirations in the educational field. I have never blogged in the past so this is my first time doing it for a class. I have enjoyed being able to express myself and my thoughts on educational technology, it is great for those that enjoy reflection. I have learned that a blog doesn't necessarily need to be an assignment, but it can be about other subjects such as math. A useful Web 2.0 website that I would like to one day use in my classroom is the app ...

A paragraph about “The Flipped Classroom.” Explain this instructional design in your own words. A paragraph about open educational resources (OER).  Describe these resources in your own words.  Find a online resource (blog post about OER, examples of OER materials, an article about OER, etc.), provide a brief synopsis, and link it to your blog. A paragraph on new skills you acquired from working on the two PowerPoint assignments. Reflect what you like/don’t like about each and how you can improve it next time.  Post   a   screen   shot   of   both   assignments . The Flipped Classroom is an instructional design that ultimately "flips" the traditional learning method. In this design, students learn the course material and do the readings while they are at home, and complete the homework/activities in the classroom. This gives students the opportunity to ask teachers any questions they made have when trying to complete the work. This ...

A paragraph about how you think you will use data collection (surveys) and/or reporting (Excel) tools as a teacher. Be specific about your subject matter area and the grade level. A paragraph on topics you found most interesting from reviewing your classmates’ blogs. A paragraph on what technology-related skill you would like to learn next, why, and how you will achieve this goal. I feel like I would be using data collection and reporting tools as a teacher when doing grades for my students, or when trying to conduct a "first day of school survey". I would use Excel to keep tabs of whose assignments i've already graded, in order to not get anything lost. I would use surveys most likely on the first day of school to get to know each of my students and receive information that I should know such as dietary restrictions and health concerns. I can also use surveys at the end of the year to see what my students learned in my class. Some topics that I found most...
