 Copyright and Fair Use:

    Copyright is essentially making something yours and declaring no one else may use it without paying for it in some form or capacity. Thankfully teachers are allowed to use things such as books or music, so as long as they aren't declaring them as their own creations. Fair Use is essentially the ability to use a portion of a copyrighted piece for limited use, so as long as the original work isn't altered. Things can be used under Fair Use can be used by teachers because they are using it to teach and promote knowledge.

Cyberbullying and Academic Dishonesty:

    Cyberbullying has become a common occurrence within the classroom, and schools as a whole, where students can be harassed and bullied by their fellow peers outside of the classroom where it may seem the school has no jurisdiction. While a teacher may not have jurisdiction outside of the classroom they can make it to where students who are being cyberbullied feel safe within their classroom and able to talk with the teacher about their problems and the teacher can attempt to propose a solution. Academic Dishonesty is another issue a teacher may have issues in dealing with, as it involves things such as cheating and plagiarism. When it comes to dealing with cheating, which is primarily done over online tests, a teacher can use a system called Honor Lock which monitors a students space and computer during the time the test is being taken, as for plagiarism there is Turnitin which goes through an entire writing piece and makes sure nothing has been wrongfully taken or plagiarized. 

New Acquired Skills from Newsletter Assignment:

    I have not really earned any new skills, to my knowledge. However I most definitely had a fun time trying to work out and do the newsletter assignment. It was certainly the most intricate, but also straight forward, assignment that promoted creativity that I have had to do in a while. This assignment was a nice break from all the other ones I have been having to do, and it was nice to be able to use a creative mind set.

 My Experience with MS Word:     I have personally spent a great deal of time working with MS Word and have found that it is my go to resource for any kind of writing based need or assignment. I have used MS Word at least once a day ever since I started my college career at TCC and continued to have used it consistently in my time at FSU. For me, while MS Word has a lot of customization options, it is simple to understand and use and has consistently worked well for me. I have used MS Word since Middle school and am still using it in my Junior year of College. The ISTE Standards for Educators:     It was interesting to learn about the ISTE Standards for Educators and what they all meant. Personally I feel the most meaningful standard is that of the Leader. For me I have always done best in a class when an instructor is willing to work with their students to find what best works for them in regards to how they learn. It is, if I ever teach, how I want to wor...

 Experience Using Twitter:     Personally, I have never liked Twitter, and I have never had the desire to use it. My first and only personal experience on Twitter has been this class as it is a required part of it. I fully intend on deleting my account after the fact. I do not find Twitter beneficial whatsoever and I don't see how it will help me in my future career, I was ok with trying it for this class, but I just don't see the point in it. The Digital Divide:     The digital divide definitely effects those who don't have access to the proper technology more than those who have it, if they are affected at all, as they cannot access certain key resources or even assignments. If students right now at FSU don't have access to a computer or phone to reach CANVAS then they can't even access their assignments. In regards to classroom experience as an educator, I will most likely encounter students of a lower income household who wont have access to technology....

 Information about me:     Hi I guess, my name is Daniel. I am, or strive to be, a very empathetic and kind person in any sort of way I feasibly can. I have a great love of fictional writing, poetry, and all around anything that can help me have an escape from this worlds constant conflicts and problems. Last year I went through all sorts of difficult events to deal with, my Grandfather dying, my dog dying, and me being diagnosed with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), to name a few, 2021 was most certainly a difficult year for a lot of folks so I hope this year will be better. Something I personally believe in is that, the only times we make a true mistake is when we don't learn something from it. I am a very introverted person so I don't exactly interact with people much, besides those I am close to, to the point where I feel like I might even be afraid of social interaction, I honestly don't know. Anyway here I am I'm a nerd and a Creative Writing Major who's scar...
