Participate 1-Character Traits

     Research Process: While looking for three words to help describe digital citizenship, I went and read several pieces from Common Sense Media as well as Sophie.com as well as analyze the standards provided by ISTE. Using a word cloud, I created the image of a mouse pointer with my characteristics being surrounded by their respective synonyms.
     While researching different sites, I saw a consistent trend when it came to digital citizenship. I saw that the three characteristic traits that are best for being an exemplary example for digital citizenship would be Respectful, Thoughtful, and Protective. CommonsenseMedia.org states that it is important for users to be respectful of others by minding what they say online and what they share online. In addition of being respectful of themselves by representing themselves in a positive way they must remember the audience they are addressing and ensure that the tone of their message is being interpreted in the intended manner. A user must be thoughtful of others and be thoughtful of what they post about others. Lastly an exemplary citizen of the digital world must be protective of others and themselves and stand up against bullies and inappropriate activities online. I think these characteristics are worth recognizing because as teachers, our goal is to help build independent, educated citizens who are prepared for success in the world and the world today is surrounded by technology. So just as important it is to under what a standup citizen is in America, so it is on the world wide web

Also the AB courses will have more content to cover over time so it is vital that the pacing is set in advanced and that there is constant communication to ensure that the students are keeping up. Lastly being that all the classes are starting on the same day, it is vital that the teacher is prepared. In the roster, it is clear that the teacher had several students that need special attention when planning for instruction. two students will need 504 accommodations and one student will require time for accelerations since she is gifted. The students also have different session lengths, so it is important to ensure that students who have less weeks, still get all the required content that is needed to be learned.  In this communication  log, the teacher sends out general informatio...

Create 3 - Open Educational Resources

Open Educational Resource - A resource that can be used while teaching, learning, researching and in assessment. It is can be accessed freely and have open licensing for different media and documents format. The biggest challenge when using OER is that many sources are "labeled" as open licensing with free usage but will originate from non free licensed sources, which is still against copyright laws.

Communicate 3 - Feedback

Great job of completing the geometry unit! You have mastered many of the standards well including knowing the angle relationships and the angle definitions. Also, you showed mastery in volume and surface area—which can be tricky, but you were able to learn it with ease. Please take the time to review how to find missing angles in triangles with this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnDeYhBoCzs . Also, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caspFRZfWeI is a video that can help with finding missing angles in polygons. Lastly, remember to review the difference between area and the circumference formulas. You did a fine job in finding the circumference, but the question asked for area. You are very close in showing mastery for this unit, and I believe you will get there! If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.
