Blog Post #6

     I can see how Diigo can be a very useful source, especially when collaborating with other teachers or students because you can share your different sources. I like how you can bookmark and annotate on the source. This past week has been my first time using Diigo, so I had to get used to it first. I like how I can see what others have posted in the group and how you can join different groups. I can definitely see myself using this resource in the future. 

    I had never blogged or read a blog until this class, but I can now say that I really like it. Blogging each week is fun! and I learn so much by reading my classmate's blogs. It is an easy way to post things with no limit on how many characters you can use, and I also really enjoy how casual it is. It's cool how my Twitter is now set up to it. I really want to use blogs in my future class! 

    When teaching I will definitely use the Web 2.0 source, Youtube. I have used Youtube all throughout my educational career whether it be for looking up videos to help me learn or review something or posting my own videos. I have posted videos of me teaching a subject and of me acting for my forensics speech and debate class. Youtube is a wonderful way to reach out to others and to learn from them as well. There are countless ways you can use it in class, but it is definitely a resource that should be taken advantage of.

     I selected Kindergarten from the Standards and Technology Matrices for ELA. There is only one standard and it is LAFS.K.W.2.6 which is to help the students learn about different digital tools to write and use with others. The technology used in Kindergarten is not very complicated to me, for I have used a lot harder software. In the Kindergarten classroom, there is technology such as smartboards, painting programs, and online storyboards. I feel very confident in my ability to implement this standard and technology with my current skill set.      I also selected Kindergarten for CPALMS. I looked into the Science area and found a lot of different resources and tools that can be used to help kids learn; the main ones were many videos that seemed fun and interesting. I watched one about gravity and one about the moon. If I were teaching children in Kindergarten I believe that I could use some of these videos, however, I wouldn't use them all the time. I want my class to be as int

      This is my first time really using Twitter, so I am still quite new to it. I have followed a lot of the FSU pages so I see a lot of information about the university. I also follow some students in the class so I have seen some of their posts or things they retweet or like. I have not gotten very comfortable with Twitter yet, but I can see how it is a good tool to communicate and find things that relate to teaching. Twitter chats can be helpful in my future career because you can follow up and see what is new and other view peoples' ideas.     The Digital Divide occurs because of some people having a lot more access to technology than others. This affects students in schools because technology has become an important part of teaching. If some students have access to computers and the latest software, then they can become confident in their abilities using technology, do assignments online, access endless amounts of information, etc. However, if a student doesn't have acces

      Copyright is a legal right that people have over their own creative works. Now it doesn't lock everything on the internet down, but it does give credit where credit is owed. When we use things that have copyright we need to check who owns the work, get permission to use it, give credit to its maker, maybe buy it if needed, and then we can use it. Fair use is when we use portions of people's creations without permission or paying a fee. This is used for things such as school, news, critics, etc. When using fair use you can only use a small part of the work, you have to add your own meaning to make it original, you need to use it in a different way, and you can't make money off of it. As a teacher, you definitely need to inform your students about these concepts. It is always a good idea to use your own material and to have your students create their own works, however, there will come a time when it is helpful to use other people's already created works. When this
