As technology continues to expands, it's going to be incorporated into classrooms day to day activity. I plan to use all of Microsoft Office products, as well as, some fundamental games that will be available, usually already downloaded onto the computer. The students I plan to work with would be between the ages of 11 and 14 placing them in middle school. Therefore, the digital citizen concepts that I would need to teach them will include recognizing intellectual property and respect the rules for its use. This would be because I wouldn't want them creating any PowerPoints or anything that is inappropriate for school.
While completing the Newsletter Design assignment, I learned about customizing the boarders, something that I never really knew I could do. I thought the boarder could only be lines, and not necessarily an image. I like that I was able to use my own creativity in making a newsletter. I had a lot of fun with it, although it was a little challenging trying to think of something you could write about. Next time, I'll try to separate my sections more, possibly with an actual heading before each instead of a picture. In the future I will be able to create my own newsletter for my students inside of my classroom that I'll have in the future. It also helped me prepare on how I can make the newsletter readable for both students and the parents.
