At first, MS Word was super confusing and overwhelming. There were so many tools and things that I did not know how to use yet so it seemed really difficult. Over the years using Word for school it became like second nature. We use Word more than a pencil and paper now. There are so many helpful tools in word and it can be used in almost any academic area. Teachers need to have original lesson plans and students need to have original ideas rather than simply collect answers from the internet. If information is used from another source that is not an original idea the person who had the original idea needs to be credited for their work. Credit can either be given in a citation or copyright mark or simply stating where you got the information. It becomes more difficult to create your own work when there is so much information available on the internet so it is really important to pay attention to nowadays. Cyberbullying Students can go through a training process or fill out an agreement of some sort to ensure cyberbullying does not take place. All internet activity will also be monitored by teachers to eliminate this issue but if an issue does arise the teacher will be aware and able to address the situation. If cyberbullying occurs that said student will have the privilege of using technology taken away. Lack of funding If there is a lack of funding so proper technology is not provided then students can share a limited number of devices and work in groups which will also improve their ability to work with one another. We could also do more activities that do not require technology which is very possible because I could print stuff out and plan beforehand to eliminate the need for funding for advanced technology.
