 Teachers sharing about themselves on a website is not something I have ever encountered. The most I have ever had is a directory with a teacher's school email. It depends on the teacher but most teachers I've encountered don't share too many details about themselves much less post them on the internet. I would most likely think creating a website about yourself would for sure open you to cyberbullying from students.  But overall here is a website I found https://www.leonschools.net/domain/1574 

As I don't plan on being a teacher, i don't really have any plans in the sense i am being asked. I do plan on being a pilot and using LinkedIn to keep up with those also in the industry. I also wont be using "teacher productivity tools". If I were too I would use our website tools and twitter. Realisticly I will use foreflight to be a productive pilot. 

At first starting the new website was very annoying and I found it hard to use. But after a about a hour I got the hang of it and it started to become easy. I feel like I could make a website for just about anything and it look good after getting the hang of it. I can make a website for myself as a real estate agency and easily update homes and posts.

 Copyright is when you create something and want to protect it. Normally copyright is very important to large companies. If Nickelodeon didn't copyright Dora the Explorer, anybody could use her face on backpacks, lunch boxes, and anything else. This would cause Nick to lose millions in merchandise revenue. In the classroom, I would have my kids just not use copyrighted works and use fair works material instead. Now I will cover academic dishonesty and student privacy. For academic dishonesty, I would suggest an honor lock for all tests to make it harder for students to cheat. Also, on canvas, you can see when students leave a quiz and select something else. We could also introduce harsher penalties for students who decide to engage in academic dishonesty. For student privacy students can use a fake name when online to conceal their identity. Students can also use a Virtual Private Network to conceal their information from anyone that could be trying to get information from them....

 My early experiences with Twitter started in middle school. We used it to post about our day and funny stuff. Now I don't ever use Twitter as I don't really use social media and now a lot of people post on Twitter. Going forward, I wouldn't use Twitter in my future career as i don't see a way it would be beneficial.  In some schools where technology is used a lot it can affect students who don't have access to a lot of digital material online. In a project where research is required, students with access to the internet can easily do research from home. On the downside, students with little access to technology will have to use books or go to a library in their extra time to get the assignment done. You can change teaching strategies to either include class time to be able to use computers to complete assignments or not include as many assignments that require the internet.  Using canvas for assignment 2 was relatively easy and simple to understand. In the future, ...

Assistive technology is very important to maintain a good classroom. Students with disabilities can feel alienated if a classroom does not include Assistive technology to enhance class time. Every school should have a collection of low technologies like pencil holders for students. I also think using image descriptions is very important to help students with low vision.   Diigo was relatively easy to use and understand. I can see how these can be useful for students with disabilities. I think it is cool that you can highlight text and it goes straight to the webpage. Although i find the icons that pop up when you highlight something annoying if your not using it for Diigo. Overall its still pretty good to share for resources and specific parts of text.  https://powergistics.com/education-technology-trends/    This website talks about future technologies in the classroom.  This website is by far the most helpful of everything I've looked at. My favorite from...
