 Hi everyone! 

    Open Educational Resources (OER) are open to everyone, typically online, and help promote/practice learning with. They are educational materials that anyone can use, adapt, and share without having to pay or ask permission. One example of an OER, is Khan Academy. Khan Academy is an online learning platform where you can find a wide range of educational resources. It offers video lessons, practice exercises, and quizzes on various subjects like math, science, history, etc. It is a great resource for those who would like to expand their knowledge and skills. The URL is: https://www.khanacademy.org/.

    Assignment #4 was probably one of my favorite assignments yet, just because I have used PowerPoint a lot in the past and enjoy completing it and then overlooking my slideshow. One thing I did not like was having to add a bunch of details for the slides to look good, which was something easy to do just time consuming, but definitely needed for teachers. I also find it challenging to think of what to put on each slide. To improve it for next time, I would probably use a topic that is easier to spread out the slides with.

 Hi everyone!      Throughout my K-12 years, I did not use Microsoft Word too much. We relied on Google Classroom to submit our work which we completed on Google Docs. My K-12 experience consisted on using Google everything. This includes the two I just mentioned, Google Slides, Google Sheets, and Google Forms. At Florida State University, I was able to use Microsoft Word a lot especially for my freshman English class. Later on for my education courses and human development, my teachers also required us to use MS. Another great program on MS is PowerPoint. I am currently in the process of a group presentation where we are using PowerPoint to present our topic in my Teaching Diversity course. This allows for an easy and organized presentation, as my group and I are able to work on the slides separately as long as the creator shared everything. Overall, my experience with MS has allowed me to complete schoolwork while staying organized!     The ISTE Standards for Educators are a framewor

 Hi everyone!      In my opinion, when it comes to dealing with copyright and fair use, especially as a teacher, you must provide your students with strict rules and consequences if they do not abide to using their own original work. Consequences can include talking to their parents, grade reductions, meetings with the principal, etc. I think students working in groups is a great idea for them to share what they know and brainstorm new concepts, but sometimes when it comes to assignments, students will write word for word what their partner submits. As a teacher, I would have students share their ideas out loud with one another, but have them submit their work independently so it is in their own words.      One technology issue includes cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is defined as individuals using digital platforms to bully others. This form of bullying can include harassment, intimidation, or possibly even threats. In my future classroom, a way to abolish cyberbullying would be to have
