Ever since elementary school, I
have done assignments that requires Microsoft Word. Over the years, I have
typed the majority of my essays on Microsoft Word. As a college student, I have
taken notes on Microsoft words. By doing so, I have been able to record more
information that my professor has provided. In addition, I have noticed that my
teachers have used Microsoft Word to create their lesson plans, syllabus, and
worksheets. A teacher that I had in high
school would always type up the expectations for each assignment via Microsoft
Word and would hand it out to her students for clarity.
Living in a digital environment, I
have always been aware of copyrighted material. There were many occasions for
which my teachers explicitly told the class what materials were appropriate due
to copyrighted issues. For a project that I did, I had to be very selective for
which song I would incorporate in my PowerPoint to avoid legal issues, but my
reasons are under the fair use guidelines.
As a teacher, I would thoroughly read all the fair use guidelines so my
materials would not interfere with it and explain my students work that is
copyrighted and how to not to credit for another individual’s work.
As a teenager, I only used twitter
for the purpose of finding funny contexts. However, I learned that Twitter is
an incredible tool for connecting with your students. I discovered that Twitter
and other personal learning networks can be used to remind students of due
dates, contact with students and parents faster, and take classroom time. There
are numerous personal learning networks that has given teachers, students, and
parents a tremendous advantage regarding contacting one another.
