Technology Implementation Issue

One of the biggest technology implementation issues in schools today is cyberbullying. Students may feel more confident saying unkind things online than they would in person, which can harm their peers emotionally and academically. As a future teacher, I would plan to set clear expectations for respectful digital communication and create lessons about digital citizenship early in the year. I would also use monitoring tools when possible and build a classroom culture where students feel safe reporting concerns, knowing that I will take them seriously and respond appropriately.

Copyright and Fair Use

I have learned about copyright and fair use before in school, mostly when writing essays and creating projects that used online images or videos. As a teacher, I will need to make sure that both I and my students use resources ethically. For example, I can model this by citing images in my presentations and teaching students how to use Creative Commons or royalty-free materials for their projects. While I feel more confident now about fair use, I still wonder about the “gray areas,” such as how much of a copyrighted text or song can be used before it becomes a violation.

Newsletter Design Assignment

From the Newsletter Design assignment, I learned new skills like how to format text into columns, add section breaks, and insert creative elements like borders or graphics. These skills helped me design a newsletter that looked more professional and easier for parents to read. In the future, I could improve my newsletter by experimenting with color schemes and adding more visuals to make it engaging for families. The ability to create newsletters, flyers, and similar communication tools will be valuable in my future career as a teacher because clear communication with parents and students is such an important part of education.

Blog Setup Ed Tech

 In this class, I hope to gain a deeper understanding of how technology can be used to enhance learning and communication. I want to become more confident in using different online platforms and tools, not only for academic purposes but also for professional settings in the future. Since technology continues to play a huge role in education and the workplace, I believe the skills I learn here will help me collaborate more effectively and stay adaptable in an ever-changing digital world. I am especially interested in learning how to present information in clear, creative, and engaging ways. In my prior educational experiences, I have used technology in several ways. Most of my classes have involved online platforms such as Canvas for assignments, quizzes, and discussions. I have also used programs like Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint to complete projects. During high school, I attended some virtual classes, which helped me learn how to manage my time and stay organized in an ...

Standards Paragraph One of the Florida Standards I found on the CPALMS website that incorporates technology is from the new Computer Science standards that will take effect soon. It focuses on students using digital tools and programming to solve real-world problems through coding and design. In simpler terms, this standard encourages students to think creatively and logically while using technology to come up with solutions. I feel somewhat prepared to implement this standard because I am familiar with basic digital tools and technology used in classrooms, but I would need more training when it comes to actual programming and computer science concepts. I know how important it is to stay updated with technology since it’s always changing, so I would definitely want to keep learning to better support my students. CPALMS Educator Toolkit Paragraph When I looked through the CPALMS Educator Toolkit, I found several helpful resources for teachers. One of the ones that stood out to me was...

Throughout K-12, I used Microsoft Word frequently for essays, research papers, and projects. It was a reliable tool for formatting documents and practicing academic writing. At FSU, I continue to use MS Word for assignments, but I often prefer Google Docs because of its collaborative features and automatic cloud saving. Google Docs makes it easier to share work with classmates, receive feedback, and edit on the go without worrying about losing files. While Word has more advanced formatting options, I find Google Docs to be more user-friendly for everyday schoolwork. One ISTE Standard that stands out to me is the role of the Educator as a Designer. This standard emphasizes creating authentic, learner-driven activities and environments that recognize student needs and encourage creativity. I’ve learned that being a designer means more than just making lessons look appealing; it’s about tailoring technology and resources so that students can engage meaningfully with the content. My main q...
