Word
I have used Microsoft Word constantly as a student. I use it almost daily to take notes in class and to write papers at home. I expect to use Word as a teacher to make the assignments, tests and handouts for my students.Fair Use
I have to admit, as a student I often do not think about where the material that my teachers use comes from. I find myself assuming that everything they use comes from a credible source and is used in a way that respects copyright and fair use policies. As a teacher I need to be more mindful of this issue and make sure that I follow fair use policies when making my own instructional materials for my students. I can do this by making sure that I do not use anything that is not my own without giving proper credit by citing my sources.
I had never used Twitter before last week, and I still have a lot to learn before I can be comfortable using it. I think that social media is a good way for prospective teachers to connect with each other and also learn from current educators. I am a little concerned about using Twitter in my own career because I want to teach high school and I worry about the potential risks of interacting with my students online.
I didn't use twitter that much either before last week! I agree that I still have a lot to learn about it.
