Throughout my life as a student I have become very familiar
with Microsoft Word. I have had to type
and print out countless essays for assignments.
My science fair project boards were decorated with information that was
typed out in Microsoft Word. In my junior
year of high school I took a class that was focused on technology and I got certified
in Microsoft Word.
In some of the essays that I wrote in high school we were required
to have a works cited page in order to give the creator full credit of the
information used in the essay. This was
the same case with the science fair projects that I made, I would have to type
up a research report on my project and list all of the sources that I used. As a teacher, I would probably implement
stricter rules about copyrighted images and plagiarized essays. I would also put a greater emphasis on the
importance of giving credit to the creator.
With the topic of academic honesty as an issue I would create
more intense repercussions for the students who copy information from online
and cheat. I also think it is important
for students to be more aware of the risks that are associated with the
internet and with their privacy. I would
make sure that students understand how important internet safety is for their privacy. Cyber bullying is becoming a greater problem
in our society because of the online presence of teenagers is growing. The topic of cyber bullying needs to be taken
more seriously and there needs to be punishments set in place for students who
participate in it.
