Therefore all information and media gathered from the internet is copyrighted and permission must be obtained to use it for personal use. Current students have access to the internet in their homes and at school which makes it easily accessible for them to download and use content from the internet for their school work and personal use on a daily basis. Teachers have to teach students what copyright is and how to properly cite their sources when using media from the internet. It is very important that students know how to cite their sources and refrain from plagiarism in their work.

Final

I am now DONE my Genius Hour Project! I cannot believe that I am now finished and that this class will be over! I spent a lot of time working on this project and to be honest... I enjoyed it! I was a little nervous and skeptical at the start. I find my self "tech savvy" but before this class I did not realize how many more resources and tools there are available to students and teachers on the web! The internet and digital community is always growing and I am pleased to have taken this class as it has taught me several new methods and resources to use when I enter the work force!

Now where do I go from here? Well I am going to continue to research and learn about new resources that are available to teachers! There are so many digital tools available and I think that if I can learn how to use just a few of them that I will be a successful teacher in the future!

Throughout this entire project, the thing that I learned most about my self is that i'm not as "digitally inclined" as I once believed. There are several websites and tools that I did not know how to use prior to this class. This class was an eye opening experience for me and I am so thankful to have been a part of it!

Until next time,

Ms. Morgan Hughes.

Setting the Stage

In preparing for my Ted Talk, I have spent a lot of time practicing my ASL and researching more about the elements that make up the language. I learned ASL several years ago and forgot the technical terms and formalities. I spent some time online researching and watching videos of people signing and it brought back a lot of the information that I was looking for. I am nervous to record my Ted Talk but I think I have all of the information I need to complete it successfully!

Finishing Up

This week I learned about what it takes to be a teacher in the digital age. There was a good amount of reading that I did that explored flipped/blended and online learning environments. I have heard of the time terms before but have never actually researched them. I found this video very useful in my understanding of flipped learning! Take a look!
