       As a teacher, I would either use the public domain or cite my sources correctly to avoid copyright. I think it is important to show students how to properly cite sources so they can avoid copyright as well. At my school, we were only taught how to cite sources when writing papers. Everything taught on Tuesday and Thursday about public domain and copyright is pretty much new knowledge for me. I think it should be taught to middle schoolers how to read a Creative Commons License to prevent them from copyrighting something when they are older.      I think academic dishonesty will become a big issue the more technology is implemented into schools. Technology makes it super easy for students to cheat. Most students will look up answers to their homework or their tests.

      Growing up, my school mainly used Google Docs; however, I did have to use Microsoft Word my junior and senior year for dual enrollment. I have not had the best experience with Microsoft Word mainly because I don't know exactly how to use it. I've gotten better each time I've used it though.

I think being a leader is super important because it shows the students how to be a leader both in the classroom and the outside world. By being a leader, it is easy to empower students and encourage their successes. I have been lucky enough to have ...

       During this class, I hope to learn about all the different online tools that will be useful in my future career. I hope to learn helpful tips and shortcuts to use when using my computer. I also want to learn about different websites that can help me in the future. I will use these skills to help me during my next three years of college and when I become a teacher.     In high school, we used a lot of different technological apps to complete assignments. We mainly used Google apps, so it has been weird switching to Microsoft. Mainly, we would write emails, use Goggle Docs and Power Point, and look things up on Chrome. I became very familiar with these apps, so it has been a long process for me to become acclimated to the Microsoft apps.       Recently, I have gotten more into going to the gym. Usually, I would go with a coach of mine so they can create the workout, but I have been going by myself now. I have used different online t...
