I will be critiquing blogger. I honestly don’t like this website. It just looks so basic to me. I feel everything should be easy to find, and it is not. It took me about 10 minutes trying to figure out how to sign out. I believe it should be more user friendly. I feel it might cater to those who are used to visiting blog sites.

“Digital Citizenship is more than just a teaching tool; it is a way to prepare students/technology users for a society full of technology. “ I plan on teaching high school so in my class room I would make sure my students know what is inappropriate to search. I would also let them know my computer is linked to them all, so at any moment I could see what each and every student is doing.


Although I should have known this already, I now know how to easily do a hyperlink. It’s super easy and highly effective when using a computer. The only thing I did not like about the Newsletter Design was the stories. I honestly was a bit confused on what to write a “story” about technology.

As a student, I have used Microsoft word quite often. I believe I started using it regularly in my senior year of high school. My teacher had us writing short stories every week that had to be typed. Now that I am in college, I use it for every single class. Something I thought was really cool is the fact that you can change the bullet points. I will definitely incorporate into power points to make them more creative.
I honestly have not had much of an experience with copyright and fair use of materials. I first learned about copyright infringement from YouTube. One of my videos was silenced because of the song I had playing in the background. As a teacher, to avoid any future problems, I will make sure to use free media outlets.
Thus far, I have learned how to actually use a twitter account. I feel that I can comfortably navigate to and use any open account that I have. At first, I was quite skeptical about twitter usage for class but it has actually made me read and learn more about educational technology. When I become a teacher, I will definitely incorporate twitter in the classroom. It is a great way to get all students essentially to "participate."
