I really enjoyed the web design assignment. I learned that I am a little more creative than I thought I was. One thing I liked was that it gave you a really good base set up but you could make it your own. One thing I didn’t like was that I couldn’t put my own header picture because I was using the free version. I think everything I learned from this assignment will be very useful for my future career. Teacher or not a lot of occupations require you to have a website. However, as a teacher I know a great program and skills to use for my teacher website.

I learned that Diigo is a great resource to use when annotating articles. I also learned that this a great resource to use to keep all your materials organized and saved in one place. Before I took this class I had no idea what Diigo was. I like that you can share your articles and annotations with those in your class. This application can allow for collaboration between my students in my future classroom. Students can learn from each other by reading others materials and annotations.

Staying up to date with changes in technology is super important. As a teacher you use technology every day in the classroom. It is also your responsibility to keep your students informed when it comes to technology. Therefore, you have to know yourself in order to teach it. Attending occasional trainings can help you stay up to date on the technology trends in education. Reading education blogs is also a great way to stay up to date. Websites such as the one linked are also super informative.

I feel that I have the knowledge needed to implement this standard in a classroom. Since I choose second grade they are learning the basic skills, these are skills that I have had a lot of practice with. I believe I could find some fun ways to make sure my students meet these standards, I chose second grade math for my class. The resource that I found was an interactive video and lesson about value. There was a video giving the objective at the beginning then went into the lesson. You have to complete each video and step before moving on. I would use this tool in my classroom because it a fun way to learn math. On top of that it also gets students using the computer and learning

Copyright is a way for people to protect their work. It requires anyone that uses their work to give them credit. Fair use allows educators to use copywritten materials to an extent for education purposes. As a teacher I may use other materials as reference or inspiration but make sure to make it my own. If I use articles or videos in my PowerPoints, I will make sure that I site them correctly and give credit to the creator. Cyberbullying is something that both students and teachers have to deal with that 10 years ago didn’t really exist. With the increase of social media use at all ages bust mostly school aged cyberbullying can hurt a lot of students.
