Blog Journal #3

    To me, copyright means taking someone else's work without permission or without giving credit. In educational use, it means pretty much that, just more complex. It affects the classroom mainly by using textbooks, software, and videos in classes. Fair use, to me, means being able to use someone else's work - but to an extent. Fair use, when used for educational purposes, allows instructors to copy specific material for nonprofit educational purposes. However, it depends on how much work you are copying and how you will be using that copyrighted work.  
    If I find a rising problem with academic dishonesty in my class, I will plan to implement the issue with a lengthy presentation of plagiarism. I will want to stress to the children how big of an academic crime it is to be academically dishonest with your work once you reach high school and college. I will also implement TurnItIn on my classroom assignments, a program that detects plagiarism throughout the internet. Secondly, if I found a decrease in student productivity during class and on tasks, I would fix the problem by asking the children what they want to learn. I believe education should be enjoyable, and if all of my students are not doing their assignments well, I would be the one failing them. It could be fixed by involving new technology that is fun to them, more hands-on activities, possible change in classroom direction... I would like to fit their needs.  
    After working on my Newsletter, I became very familiar with Canva. Canva is very fun and was extremely helpful in my process of creation. I felt like a teacher creating something for my students to bring home and read with their parents. In the future, I could make my newsletters more eye-catching but less busy. I feel like I had a lot of clip art thrown around, which might have been a little busy for such a young child to be looking at. On the other hand, children enjoy reading more when animation and pictures are involved, so I will use those learning skills in my future career when creating assignments and tasks.

EME2040 First Blog Post

 Welcome to my first blog post for EME2040!     My name is Chloe Secunda, and I am so excited to be in this class. I am a freshman here at FSU majoring in Elementary Education, and I live in Bryan Hall on campus with my one roommate and two suitemates. I was born in Hawaii but moved to Florida when I was three. I love the beach so much since I basically grew up on it, so being in Tallahassee is a bit difficult for me, but even so, I still love it and all the people I've met so far. My goal after graduation is to be a teacher for third grade at the school I graduated from in Vero Beach. It is a small private Jk-12 school on the river and has the most family feel out of any school I have ever seen. I hope this class will help me be a better teacher in the future.      The high school that I graduated from was very technologically advanced, with Apple TVs and projectors in every room, also requiring MacBooks for every student since almost all of our work was d...

Blog Journal #6

     Personally, I do not like Diigo. When I first created an account, it made me re-do the sign-up three separate times and was much more complicated than it should have been. I'm not very fond of the setup of Diigo because there is a lot of clutter on my screen, which confounds my focus and concentration. The fonts on the website also bother me because they are so small and close together, making it hard for me to read because I have dyslexia. Because of that, I have to concentrate extra hard on the words and zoom in. If it were up to me, I would choose not to use Diigo again in a personal or academic setting.       I like blogging because I enjoy both writing and designing. The design comes with Blogger, and I can choose my own font, colors, size, etc. Sometimes I wouldn't say I like blogging when there is a question I have to answer that does not interest me very much. However, this goes for most people. I have learned how better to use Grammarly i...
