 I learned a lot from this assignment including hyperlinks and formatting. I really enjoyed this assignment because it is more interactive. I find things like this fun and get excited to do these assignments. I’m not sure what my future career will be yet but I know for a lot of jobs, you need to be able to do things like this and just being able to organize and format in general will help me in my career.

 I like Diigo because you not only work on things alone, but with your peers also. I feel that no matter what you do in life, you must be able to communicate with people and diigo helps people communicate better. Diigo helps you find articles and share them with people you may work with or just the public. It all depends on what you are using it for. 

 

Teachers have to deal with technology a lot more than most think. They are tasked with making assignments and creating websites and quizzes and such things, so they must have the appropriate technology to do so. I have found this article that includes three things in the classroom that involve technology but is still relevant to today’s society and tells us how these things are also clean J.

 I will start out by saying I am not a fan of distance learning. I am the type of person that is very sociable and hands-on so staring at a computer all day is not fun. I am the type of person that needs a schedule every day and to leave the house and be around people. I feel that distance learning makes people less motivated. When I am a teacher, I will try to make the class more interactive and fun so students actually want to come to class and participate. Open Educational Resources are resources online that anyone can use to teach, learn, and even research. OER has no cost and does not require permission from anyone to access it. Examples of these are open textbooks, online tutorials, streaming videos, etc. The link below includes videos, descriptions, and breakdowns of a US history book.

     I have never been a fan of Twitter and I'm still not, to be honest. I don't know if it's just me, but Twitter is so confusing. I have been messing around with it a bit lately but I cannot find my way around the app yet and get lost easily. I feel that learning how to use Twitter could be beneficial for me in my future career because it will help me connect with others around the world.     The digital divide affects the student's success by making learning unfair and gives different students different opportunities and experiences. Some causes of the digital divide may include low income, low literacy, and unable to physically access technology. I would expect to have to deal with the digital divide if I were a teacher and have an idea of how I may be able to make things a little easier. I would try to keep all technology-related work in the classroom and when they go home, they would have paperwork or some other form of homework that does not include digital acces

 When someone has a copyright for their work, they have the right to use it or distribute it to whomever they please, and if someone uses it, they must give credit to the original owner. Fair use is a set of guidelines that allows users to copy materials for non-profit educational purposes. Fair use depends on how the work is used, how much of it is used, and how its use affects its value. As a teacher, I would have my students cite all the work they use and educate the students more on the laws and consequences of not abiding by the rules. One of the  technology implementation issues that stood out to me was lack of funding. This is because I believe you do not need money to get an education. I feel that part of a teacher's job is to be creative and come up with new ways of teaching the students. Decreased Productivity was another one that stood out to me because again, creativity comes in. If students are bored and not doing work or learning anything, maybe the teacher should com
