Blog #6


I have enjoyed using Diigo so far. It was hard to get used to at first, but the more I use it the more I understand how it works and how to navigate it. It is unlike any other website I have used for a class, so it is good that I am branching out and learning more. I do not like how it was hard to use at first, I feel like the layout of the website could be clearer and easier to navigate. But besides that I like it. 

Blogging has been fun honestly. I like to write, so I would rather write 10 blog posts instead of a test any day. I also really like how we are able to read our classmates blogs and interact with them. I really enjoy reading what other people have to say and how they tackled the questions asked in the prompts. 

I think I will definitely want to use YouTube when I become a teacher. Youtube is a great resource that has a lot of educational videos. It is a easy way to convey information to a classroom, especially since some students learn better when they hear it from someone else, not their teacher. It is a great way to shake up a lesson and make it exciting. Youtube is one of my favorite Web 2.0 resources because it is easy to use and very entertaining.

So here I am!      Since I entered school around the time where technology was quickly advancing, I am not unfamiliar with the use of it in an educational setting. Each student at my high school had their own Google Chromebook provided by the school district, so most of our assignments were online. We used Google Classroom, Google Docs, Quizlet, EdPuzzle, virtual labs, online textbooks, and other online resources. Teachers started drifting away from the use of only blackboards and whiteboards and started using projectors and Smart Boards for class p...

In this age of technology and the progression of the internet, it is so easy to simply copy and paste other’s ideas. Copyright laws are what protect that from happening. If something is copyrighted, then whoever uses that picture, video, writing, or concept needs to credit the owner, or else they could be fined. Fair use is when you can use a certain part of someone’s work in certain situations without having to credit the owner. As a teacher, I am going to teach the kids what it means to steal someone’s content and how to properly go about using other people’s work. I will make sure it is a priority of mine to set an example by creating a lot of my own materials so that I myself am not breaking any copyright laws.  Technology is something that does a lot of good, but also a lot of harm. Two things that come to mind are  academic dishonesty and cyberbullying. I have first hand experience with both. In high school, teachers made it very easy to cheat on assignments because they...
