SC.912.TI.2.8- Evaluate the consequences of misrepresenting digital work as your own. This standard teaches students about the concept of plagiarism and how serious of an offense academic dishonesty can be. It also goes into the legal aspects of copyright infringement and I feel that will show students that not only is plagiarism cheating, it is also illegal. I feel prepared to teach my students to create their own works and how to properly credit any outside sources they may use in their works. I'll definitely use this site in the future for more learning-related matters.
 

Playing around with the CPALMS resources, I can see just how useful it'll be in the future. I'm able to find hundreds of lesson plans relating to all sorts of subjects. I searched for English-specific lesson plans and came across multiple relating to Fahrenheit 451, The Odyssey and other epic poems and how they can relate to modern day America. I'll definitely use these in the future, just in case I need guidelines on how to properly teach a specific book.

Google searching as an educator is extremely important because the Internet can provide resources from fellow teachers on how to effectively teach a course. Teaching a course with no outside sources seems next to impossible, so Google can be a very useful tool to better your skills as a teacher. The most useful skill related to Google searching that I will continue to use is how to filter by sites ending in .edu or results that are pdf documents or just using Google Advanced Search. This would make searching for credible sources much easier rather than having to manually go through dozens of sites and having to figure out which ones are credible.

 Welcome to my Blog! My goal for this class is to learn how to use various technologies to further my teaching ability in the future. I'm not the best at technology so I'm super excited to learn. When I eventually become a teacher, I want to make a fun online presence that my students can enjoy. Using tools like blogger could be very helpful for classroom updates and the like. My prior classroom technology experience is using things such as school laptops throughout the years. When I was in 4th grade, my elementary school got Smartboards for every classroom. In 5th grade, iPads were introduced. In middle school, we got school laptops. It was really cool being part of the test groups for all of these technological advancements so the schools could fine tune any issues we encountered in the future. My current Personal Learning Network mostly involves the Internet and books. In my spare time I like to learn about the making of movies and the practical effects involved before CGI. ...

 I've been using MS word for years now because of school. When I was in middle school, all Leon County School students were assigned a Microsoft 365 account that we would continue to use until we graduated high school. I've always preferred Google Docs, though. I'm a writer and all of my stories, from my short stories to the novel I've been working on for years now, are all on my Google Drive. I identify most with ISTE's "Learner" archetype. Even when I (hopefully) become a teacher, I still plan to learn new things every day. I didn't really learn anything I didn't already know from the site, but it was helpful to get a refresher. My PLN will be in use every day, and I will keep up to date on current events. I personally really believe in the "digital native" theory. Having grown up around technology, I certainly feel I have a better grasp of it than the older generations. I've been frustrated in the past with teachers not knowing how...
