How Did you Like Web Design? 

    Not going to lie, I did not complete this assignment for the Web Page Design. I do not have any excuses, just did not do it. Frankly, currently debating if I even want to finish college. Nothing on this course or our professor, but this class I am lost majority of the time and that reflects on my current grade. However, all that fault falls on me. One thing for sure I have learned is that I do NOT want to be a teacher. I am hoping that some of these technological platforms we have used I can apply in my future even if it is not in education or in the classroom. Well, that is my rant in replace of talking about the Web Page Design Assignment. Will probably get points taken off for this part. 

How Did you Like Diigo?

    Honestly, I would use Diigo only in situations regarding group projects or even group activities in correlation to a certain class. For example, a lot of class here at FSU, a student will create a GroupMe for the entire class and we can use it as a tool to help others, or give reminders, etc. Or if you are in a group for a research project and you can provide links/pdfs/or other information regarding your research topic amongst your classmates. 
I can see it being worthwhile in the sense for teachers with similar subjects/topics sharing their links/pdfs/etc. on certain material in their presentations or teachings. 

Teacher Professional Development: 

    I would assume that the School Board is requiring teachers implement more technology teachings in their classroom. With that in mind, where can they find ways to add it to their coursework, or into class teachings? In blogs such as TeacherCast where teachers can be provided with tutorials and information regarding new technological advances that can be utilized in the classroom.

Blog #3: Copyright

Blog #3: What is Copyright and Fair Use? Copyright ties into protection of a person's property of a song, logo, etc. You can also correlate it to as a person's right to own their original works without it being claimed by another. Fair use is placed as guidelines to the proper way to market and own your original work as well as being properly cited if someone does use your work.  Sadly in my time at school, I was never taught the proper way to cite and give credit to the proper owner of that content. I was even clueless on what the term plagiarism even meant. Therefore, I had to learn the hard way as a mere 7th grader. As a teacher I would teach the purpose of copyright and what that may look like on a yearly basis. As children progress further up in grade levels, the teachings of copyright and fair use should be retaught in every grade until college. Depending on that grade level can determine the complexity of how to properly cite the owner of the content is essay format, ...

It had to be at least a page and you had to have at least one photo. Now, I am aware that I grew up in the time computers were accessible in all schools, however the internet and Office Word was still fairly new. Looking back on it because my generation was going to be more experienced and have further access to this technology our teachers did their best to implement it into our learning. As a current college student, the Internet and MS Office is a daily use for me.      I have used Google Docs, I do find it useful for group projects when we can simultaneously work on the same paper or PowerPoint. However, I always seem to fall back to MS Word probably because I understand the works of it the most, and have used...

 Blog #5 Experiences with Twitter?                     I have used Twitter since I was fifteen. However, I used it more for connecting with classmates and teammates on a social platform. I never thought it as a way to connect with those that are in the same field of work or those who desire similar career paths as I do. In this class where I created a different account geared towards a certain career made it easier to gain ideas and connect those who are similar in aspects of what this class is. Following this class assignments, possibility later into my career I will use social media platforms such as Twitter to connect to others or organizations that are similar in my workforce.  Digital Divide:           I do believe digital divide is still a very prominent situation to this day and can be for many years down the road. It can affect how students learn and complete assignments that are ...
