    When dealing with copyright and fair use, I will be sure to be extra careful when using designs for my presentations. I will use designs mostly from the public domain to avoid any complications but if need be, I may look into some that are fair use. When it comes to helping students avoid complications, I will give them a link to the website that gives photos and their copyright domain so they don't experience trouble finding them. In the event a student can't find something, I will allow them to find one somewhere else, but they must ensure that they are not violating any laws. I will check in on any students who decide to do this.


    To help with student privacy, each student will sign up for a OneDrive account to save any and all documents to. This OneDrive will be solely theirs and even I won't have access. When submitting assignments that may require them to post something, I will have students create a new account that will remain private and be used for only school work. Each students account will be followed by only myself so I can check for work, but prevent cheating amongst students.

    When working on my newsletter, I learned how to turn a sentence/phrase into a hyperlink. Before this assignment, I knew it was possible but never knew how to do it. Now I know how to make a hyperlink for websites, emails, and documents. In the future, I hope to do better with designing it to match my class theme. I feel like my current design is okay but can be much more themed towards the lesson and my class in general.

      I hope to learn a lot in this class revolving around that of various websites I can use to make teaching my student's easier and learning as a whole, a lot more fun. I hope to find websites such as Padlet, that will help me to better organize my assignments and student portfolios. I hope to use websites like Miro board, to allow group work within my class in a way that is easy for mass amounts of edits. I would also like to learn about more websites like Mentimeter, to make learning fun and easy for my students.     Due to my experience within the teaching academy at my high school, I am already very aware of many education-based websites. I have used Canva many times in the past and have done projects on websites centralized around education. The most memorable project I had to was in my first year as an academy member, I was tasked with learning about a website and using it to provide a detailed presentation about education in another nation. I took a lo...

      In middle and high school, I became very accustomed to using Microsoft word in both app and website version. I've made many projects on it and can say I am very familiar with its functions. As of recent, I've been using google docs to take notes within my classes but still feel more comfortable with MS word. I will say that even though I feel confident with MS word, I know there is plenty that I don't know and can do better with.     When looking at the ISTE standards, I am most drawn to that of being a citizen. I feel like this standard draws me in the most due to where we are in the world. Being that many of the people alive today are prevalent on the internet, it is very important that people know about their digital footprint and how it can easily have a negative effect on people. Because of all the possible negative effects that come with digital footprints, I believe we as teachers should be able to provide students with an in-depth education about h...
