      I have been using Microsoft word basically ALL my life! As a student, I used Microsoft in majority of my classes. I used Microsoft word to type my essays, research reports, and other homework. I feel very comfortable using Microsoft word, however there are features on it that I am still learning how to use. I've seen my teachers use Microsoft word for multiple things, such as the class syllabus, calender's, work, and assignments. Having access to Microsoft word is way makes writing so much easier because i'd hate to have to go back to pen and paper.

       Personally, I have never had this problem with my work being plagiarized or stealing copy right because I was taught how to site my sources pretty well. At my school, it was very common for kids to get caught stealing someones copy right because they were to lazy to do their own work. The only issues I ever had with copy right would be when I would try to paraphrase but I would always have someone look over my work first to make sure it wasn't copy right. As a teacher, I would teach my students what copy right is and how they could basically be stealing someones work. I would not tolerate it as a teacher, but I would make sure to help my students understand how to avoid being penalized for plagiarism or using copy righted work. I plan to explain to my student the consequences or using other people's work and I would also like to teach my students how to protect their own work so they wont have to deal with other people stealing their work.
 
     Three issues I would implement in my class as a teachers are cyber-bullying, academic honesty, and rights to privacy. I believe it is necessary to address cyber-bullying in schools, because so many children have been committing suicide from being cyber-bullied. Recently a young girl from my home town committed suicide because she had been bullied on social media. I feel like cyber bullying should be talked about and student she learn who to go to for help and how to stop the bullying. I would give my students a lesson on cyber-bullying and do a say no to bullying week like my middle school did. Having shirts and badges that said no to bullying I believe had a positive effects on the students, because it sure did for me. I would implement academic honesty because you don't want to be lied to and your students wouldn't want you to lie to them.  To make sure my students are following my policy's and being honest I would remind them of the consequences of violating the honor code and explain to them the consequences they may face. The third issue I would implement in my class is the right to privacy. I choose this because I know It killed me when my teacher would shout my grade out to me in front of the whole class, or other students saw my work. As a teacher I would always make sure I keep my students personal business private and not discuss any of there work unless they have gave me permission to do so.

        Teachers and students are influenced to use technology because technology is widely used in many classrooms. Technology is used in classrooms to communicate with the students and parents, and effectively teach lessons. Technology is used for grading and it offers tools that can help teaching be more effective. Using technology allows students to be more engaged in learning. I noticed this when I was doing my internship at the Florida State University Schools.Grades K-12 had Chromebooks. The students learned how to work online, use google docs, and so much more. It is important for teachers and students to learn  how to use technology because technology's influence is growing. Technology allows students to be more creative and it also influences the students learning styles. Personally having technology in the classroom helped me learn better.

       International Society  for Technology in Education (ISTE) shows the standards and skills that students and teachers should know to help them be engaged in technology. The ISTE standards for students are empowered learner, digital citizen, knowledge constructor , innovative designer, computational thinker, creative communicator, and global collaborator. The standard that stood out the most to me was the global collaborator. I like the global collaborator because i learn better using technology when working with other people and learning to use technology. one standard that is outside of my skill set is the creative communicator . I dont really understand the global communicator standard.

Digital natives are people who grew up using technology and understand how to use it more than people who didn't. I have seen a big difference in digital natives and digital immigrants. My niece is only two years old and she knows how to work a tablet and a cell phone better than me. she has taught herself the alphabet, her animals,colors, shapes, and a variety on nursery rhymes. i think it is easier for people who grew up using technology to tech others how to use technology. I believe my future students may be better at using technology than me since technology is growing everyday and I am still learning

Before enrolling into EME 2040, my prior experience with technology was pretty much the basic things on a computer like the internet and Microsoft word and using a cell phone, tablet, or mp3 player. I didn't really know how to use all the different things on word, snip it, etc. I used my computer for online shopping essays, and to watch videos. Using word I didn't know how to use all the different tools on there but i have learned a little more having to use word for my English classes. I work with my cell phone pretty well, but since I switched from android to I phone i'm still learning how to use my I phone. I pretty much use my phone for things like social media, video chat, music, and networking.

In this class I hope to learn about the variety of tools I can use with technology, and different programs that will benefit me in my future profession . I think this class will be helpful to my education because knowing how to use technology will help me be successful in and out of school. I would like to feel more comfortable with technology.

Today I learned that I am more of a reflective learner than an active learner. I prefer to think things out first before jumping into solving the problem. I learned that I was more sensing than intuitive. I prefer to learn facts and not spend time thinking about possibilities. I knew that I was a more visual learner than a verbal learner because I have always learned better when seeing pictures or charts. I also learned that I was more sequential than global. It is easier for me to learn and follow steps when solving a solution.
