Chapter 8

Computer ethics is different from our everyday moral ethics we often think of. They are based on unauthorized use of computers, hardware, software, and information theft, information privacy, copyright, and the existence of objectionable materials on the Internet. All of these are very common in today's society unfortunately and there are ways we can keep this from happening to us. Privacy laws hae been passed as well as copyright laws to help prevent this.
Learning about powerpoint has been a good experience for me. I have used the software before but not to this extent. I now can do things with powerpoint besides just putting information up on slides. I know how to make it more presentable.
Using the powerpoint has made me look forward to using this material more in my career. Students would greatly enjoy the jeopardy game instead of just going over questions in class. Whoever invented that software had a great idea!!

Chapter 6

Chapter 6 discusses integrating technology in the classroom. However, there are many barriers to accomplishing this goal. There is a great lack of teacher training, limited administration support and time for teacher planning, computers are not easily accesible, budget constraints and resistance to change by educators.
I have learned that in order for students to be successful in the technological world. We as teachers need to accept the coming changes so we can share those changes with our students. I have also realized how many options Microsoft Word offers that I was unaware of. I've always used it to write papers but now am aware of the ways I can use it to help me in the classroom.
Learnig the versatility of the internet and software available to us will help us as future teachers prepare to relay this information to our students. Technology will only continue to grow and hopefully we can learn to compromise our teaching methods for the sake of our students so they can be successful when they are adults.
