Participate 4 - Digital Rights and Responsibilities


The only way to ensure that DLCs guarantee that the community is responsible, safe, and ethical, is to make sure all people involved are knowledgeable to how to create such an environment. Students must be taught how to make sure they follow all the laws about copyrights and fair use as well as be held accountable by the teachers and fellow students for making sure that they are following said rules. Teachers should begin every course making sure students know what Fair Use is and how Creative Commons Copyrights can be used in their work. Teachers should also allow the class to create norms and acceptable use policies. Doing so, the class can really take the time to analyze what should be done and shouldn't be done online. Also, teachers should establish the consequences of not following said rules and ensure that they are being enforced strictly.

The best way to ensure that students follow and understand the benefits of Digital Rights and Responsibilities is to create an orientation class that is required for students to participate in, then after they must get a 95 or higher on the assessment. Once that is completed, they must sign an AUP that will link their responsibility to their grade and ability to continue the course.

In the teacher assignments, it is seen that the classes with over 50 students will need to more extensive attention when it comes to differentiation and individualized learning. 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.
