BLOG 6

    This was my first time using Diigo and I think it is really useful. It is a great way to share resources and connect with what other people are finding and using. I think it is a great tool for finding important information and tips from other teachers. It is also a great way to connect with others and find people who are researching the same things as you. One negative thing about Diigo is that it is not super user friendly. It was a little hard to navigate at first and understand how to post, but it is worth it once you figure it out. 
    I have really enjoyed blogging so far. I think it is the best way to keep all of my assignments in one place. It makes it easy to look at all of my work from the semester at one time and be able to find anything from past assignments. I also like how I am able to see what my classmates are posting. From doing the blog, I have learned how to create a blog, how to change the layout and designs, and link other things to a blog. This could be a really helpful tool in the future to make a blog for my class or even personal reasons. 
    One Web 2.0 tool that I think would be really helpful is Edmodo. It is a great tool for parents, teachers, and students. Teachers can give quizzes, post news and assignments, and chat with parents. One of my teachers used Edmodo and it was extremely helpful to keep all of my assignments organized and stay in contact with updates she needed to give us. https://new.edmodo.com/

          Copyright is protection for peoples intellectual property. It makes sure that no one can get credit for someone else's work. Copyright laws play a big part in what students and teachers can or cannot use in the classroom. It can be helpful to people who put in time and research so their work is protected. Fair use is what allows certain things to be used without permission as long as it is for educational purposes and no one is benefiting from it monetarily. It is important that students at all ages are aware of the seriousness of taking credit for work that is not theirs.      Technology can have a lot of benefits in the classroom, but there are also a lot of issues that come with it. One is academic dishonesty. Because there is so much information available online, it is easy for students to try to use research as their own. It is so important that students are taught the proper way to cite things in all grade levels, especially as they get to high school and college an

     Personally, I like Microsoft Word the best because that is what I am used to and have been certified in. I think it is a preference but I had to use Microsoft in middle and high school so I was able to get really familiar with it. One positive about Google Docs is that multiple people can work on one document at the same time. This can be useful for group projects or revising essays. I think that everyone should learn and be comfortable using both Microsoft Word and Google Docs.       The ISTE standard that is most meaningful to me is 2.3 Citizen. This standard states "Educators inspire students to positively contribute to and responsibly participate in the digital world." I think that this standard is so important because technology is so valuable in this society and it is so important for students to know how to use it appropriately. Students need to know how to be respectful online when using different types of technology. Inspiring students to be positive has always

BLOG 1- Introduction

 My name is Macy McMahon! I am a junior at Florida State University majoring in Family and Child Sciences with a double minor in Education and Child Development. I am originally from a small city about 4.5 hours from Tallahassee, Dunedin, FL. One thing about me and who I am is that I am a Christian. Some things that I love to do include, spending time with my friends, reading, traveling, and going to the beach. I am excited for this class and all of the exciting projects that come with it.  I do not have a lot of technology experience in an educational sense. I got a few Microsoft Certifications in middle and high school but have only ever used them for class assignments over the years. I have used different presentation platforms such as PowerPoint and Prezi for class projects, especially in high school. I hope to get more experience in this class and expand my technological experience.  One of the main sources I use to help me create and succeed in my goals of having a successful col
