My expeirence using MS Word as a studnet started off in middle school but not as frequently used when compared to today. for example when I was in 6th grade most of my assigments that involved writing took place on paper and not so much with ms word. then when I got older and into highschool that is when MS word became more popular and used and I felt kind of behind the learning curve when it came to using it because I didnt have much expeirnece or knew how to use it effectevly. Now however as a senior about to graduate I feel much better about my compentency using word.

The way I would try to work around and with copyright and fairuse is by first trying to come up with something original. or use something that doesnt break that rule for example I can not scan a few page copies of a textbook and especially if it is expansive I can not buy it for the whole classroom however I can teach from the textbook and put it on a projecter that does not break any law so thats how I could use it. And I could have a student create their own work.

 the two that i choose from the list would be academic dishonesty and lack of funding for the academic hishonesty side I would use computer programs that prohibit outside help such as having a webcam feature to watch and a feature that blocks out other internet sources that I believe that would help defer academic dishonesty. and for lack of funding I think if we could show the impact that schools have when they have more money verses school with little money in their funding then we can show the effects that mney has in developing better students. 

ISTE JOURNAL 1

I believe that K-12 teachers are influenced more to use technology in the classroom because of the shift in the use of technology throughout the years within this generation especially  as the years go by for example when comparing my school experience  the earliest I can think back was probably first grade and within that year I didnt really use much technology at all and then now when I shadowed a first grade class  all I saw was the kids using tablets or watching videos describing things. However my question is teaching easier now with the help of technology or is it the same difficulty wise as earlier days without much technology.

I think the ISTE standards for eduacators that really resonante with me would be leadership because when I think about the process used it is broken down to being a way for educators to link with tech shareholders and those that have power to shape the future of education and this is important in establishing how students can be affected by the trickle down effect of others. another major aspect is the use of lobbying to educational leaders for the use of more diversity in education. overall leadership is a major role that should be utilized because it affects a lot of how our edcuation and well technology is distrubuted along schools.

I agree with the term digital native becuase it truly is a different time and era more then before it is revolutionary in fact by the way that technology has become relevant in everything that youths do today and well adults as well. This brings me to the video that was used in class showing the changes in teaching from back to the 1800's where education was simply taught by a mother or the transition of that to being in a class with little to no use of outside soursces and now it is purely technology. the role of school has always been to prepare kids or anyone for the job and future ahead so being a digital native is no different because we need those skills. in my opinion I feel like I am in a weird bubble because I was intergrated into technology from kindergarten to possibly 3rd or 4th grade we didnt use technology all too much and then when i started to get in higher grades the technology shift happened and i started to use more gadgets and widgets in a classroom setting. and the new generation kind of already have this change so I think it will be a snowball effect of just more and more technology used. 

first blog

   My name is Jamal and I am a senior ready to graduate school and then move on to more school. I plan on being a mental health counselor and the track to that is with Grad school. Some fun facts about me are I enjoy playing sports like basketball and video games like smash brothers.I also like relaxing at home and of course sleeping. I have never made a blog before so this is certainly a new experience for me but I do like trying new things at least once so this should be a fun and interesting time for sure.

    My prior experience using technology in the classroom was just limited to basic things such as a laptop to use word or to make power points. Overall my use of technology in the classroom is also rather low usage  besides just using those two things and an even more limited use of Excel which is strange seeing as we are in the age of technology but I am interested in seeing what this eme2040 class can teach me.

    

    What I hope to learn however is how to become more skillful in using technology for educational purposes. I plan on going to Grad school so having this class right before I graduate and learn how to effectively use these Tools is really beneficial to me. I hope to make the most of the lessons taught in this class. Such as being more proficient in Excel and learn any tips or tricks when working in Word. I am glad you stayed to read my first blog and I hope we can all learn something new in this class.
