 I had to learn much more about Weebly for my web design assignment. Learning how to apply the technology to my advantage was a learning lesson. But I did know! I understand more about how I would want to orient my class; what assignments I would give and what I would be looking for in my class. One of the more challenging steps was learning how to embed a digital app like Google Calendars into the website and tie it into the class. I utilized that for my "announcements" page and used the calendar as a map of due dates.  Using QR Codes as a way for parents to access my website would be a great way to connect with the parents while using creative technology. I would likely have the code on my syllabus. I would also use the QR Code as a way for students to access any surveys, bell work, or pop quizzes I could give out in class. I would create a way for students to still use technology in class while maintaining the demands of the material they need to learn, comprehend, and dis...

       As a future teacher, the thought of copyright and fair use is a thought I probably should've given greater consideration. When I went to school I noticed the differences in material given based on the teacher. Some used curriculum-based made by the same people who made the course textbooks, some used teachers pay teachers, some made their own and some didn't have any technological materials for their class. I would love to create material for my class and to be able to infuse it with the lessons I teach. I do recognize if I'd ever try to sell any of my lessons I would need to make sure I can have ownership of the material, and in doing so correctly make the best lessons I can offer.      Academic dishonesty is my most feared issue as a teacher.   I plan to teach middle and high school English and History and through my years as a student I have experienced plenty of my friends showing apathy toward learning and because of that, findi ng sho...
