Welcome back,


       From a young age, our first introduction to Microsoft Word was very early. Simply because this tool is vital to our education, it is used for at least 80% of assignments that we must turn in. I find Microsoft Word to be huge necessity in my life, I use it for small assignments and for aspects that might not even relate to my education. It is a great base to get your point across to other individuals with edits, pictures, graphs and different forms of format. So far in my education path I have seen teacher's heavily rely upon Microsoft. They even have formats they would like to see used. For example 1 inch magins, 12 pt font and times new roman lettering. This type of things have become the norm through the education world.
    I did not understand copyright issues as I progressed through my education.  I saw it sometimes on DVD's but I always ignored it. Copyright is a right that was created by this country to claim ownership of things you created. For example I am writing this blog, therefore I own the rights to my writing. It came from me and me alone. The same could be said for the creator of a movie, that person owns it. When another individual attempts to bootleg or create a copy and sell it it becomes a crime because rights are being violated. As a teacher I would like to acknowledge early on in my classroom what copyrighting is and seriousness of this situation. Creating ways to show my students how it feels to have something taken from them, and reused in the same way that my students originally created it. In order to prove this I can make the students create something meaningful to them . After have them create a set of copyright rules, once they are done I will illustrate how each one can and will be broken. Doing this will help convey the seriousness of the copyright laws.
     While reading the implementation aspect, I see a valid reason for these issues. Three solutions for some of them implementation for my class room can be used for a couple of issues. TurnItIN as a way to turn in assignments can be help with academic dishonesty . Also giving out different assignments so it would be harder to cheat or share assignments. Another solution can be for Freedom of Speech , discussing what the students feel is offensive and hurtful towards each can other can help with what is being said in the class, however I do not believe in restricitng someone's voice. Lastly another solution to the implementation issues is for Privacy. I believe in stressing the importance of privacy before we begin assignments, also conveying situations about how privacy can affect people in thier other lives.

                    " Current and future teachers must embrace this change, particularly in light of the changing skill sets that students need for success in the 21st century." The world is evolving everyday but what continues to remain consistent is the use of technology. It is a vital part of society that changes but the use of technology never lowers. This is a great reason for technology to be used within the classroom, students can learn how to access and use it for educational purposes. Teachers are influenced to use technology in order to make things easier and also more relatable to students. Teachers also can use technology as an administrative assistant through things like presentation, administrative support and lesson planning . Technology offers support in an efficient way for both the teachers and students.

     From the reading I learned that ITSE purpose to aid students and teachers stay up to date with tools needed in this digital age which I find very useful since technology is constantly evolving . I found communication and collaboration to be very useful and makes  me happy to see. With the possibilities of the digital age you can expand education's reach to those who otherwise cannot afford to be in the same vicinity as the professor. An aspect that I feel is outside of my current skill set is developing the digital age through assessments, I feel that it is outside my skill set because I am not as advanced in technology but I feel like its a learning experience for both sides. I also believe that it does not always have to be complicated to make advances in educational technology as I had previously perceived it to be. 

Digital Natives are individuals that are brought up during the digital age of activity and technology . They are familiar with the computer, ipads and things of that nature from an early age .Yes I have seen a difference between digital natives and immigrants. One of them being that they are not as dependent on technology for their everyday use. Digital natives can not go more than 24 hours without the use of technology like phones or computers. The differences in my learning experiences is that I do not have the patience of finding things out and struggling because I am so use to having access to the internet and looking up things I need quickly. I anticipate my students being even more impatient than I am today because I feel technology will continue to take out everyday necessities we think are necessary. Thank you for reading my blog !

Greetings and Welcome to my Blog,

      In today's society it has been become the norm to use some form of technology everyday. I have had several experiences with technology. I own a iPhone, a mac computer and a television. This are the items I use everyday if necessary. I create power points, web designs, I use them to read books and stay up to date on what is going on in the world through social media and news technology.

       In this class I hope to learn the names of what I participate in everyday, meaning terms like central processing unit . I use it everyday and I had no idea what the name of it was. I also hope to learn new things for the professional, aspects that are deemed necessary.

   I have learned that I deal more in facts then in picture related details, I am an introvert more so, its hard for me to work in groups I also prefer written and explanatory text. It is hard for me to interpret diagrams and graphs. I would rather it be based in certainty as well and also stray from theories. I like to learn factual concepts in class because it easier to comprehend. I hope to grow to in this class in that sense and explore the options that I am not comfortable with, I like to step out of what I know because it allows me to grow as a person.

Thanks for reading !
