Karina's EME2040 Blog

    I have had nothing but positive experiences when using Diigo. It was not hard to figure out how to bookmark a website, make highlights, or add sticky notes. I liked seeing multiple classmates using the same website and seeing all of our thoughts on the article. I like collaborating with my peers through Diigo and getting insight into something that I may have missed. Overall, Diigo was an easy tool to navigate and there is nothing negative that I have noticed about it.     My experience with blogging has been great. This website is easy to use and it is not hard to post blogs using blogger. Additionally,  I like that I can customize my blog to how I would like. I have learned how to view the comments on my post and see what my peers have posted.

Group chats would be created to talk to my friends about projects we had to work on and group chats would also be made for different classes. These group chats were even more useful during COVID when all of my classes were online.

I can get inspiration for classroom setup, lesson plans, general advice, and more.     The digital divide can affect student success in schools by allowing upper-middle class students to become more comfortable with technology and thus letting them have more opportunities in the workforce. On the other hand, lower-class students will not be able to enjoy these same opportunities because they do not have access to technology. Some causes to the digital divide includ

    Copyright is a form of protection for intellectual property while fair use includes a set of guidelines teachers have to follow when it comes to using material for educational purposes. When dealing with these concepts as a teacher, I would make sure of the copyright rules for each material I want to use in my classroom whether it is by looking up the rules online for a certain material or asking other teachers in my school. When having students create their own work, I will remind them that if they are using a picture or quoting something from a website, that they will have to say where they got the material from and to site it. I never knew that teachers had to worry about copyright until reading these articles. It is a little worrying that this will be something extra on my plate that I will have to worry about, but overtime this will most likely be something I am more comfortable with.     Cyberbullying is a serious issue and a topic that society has been more aware of since th
