 * This is very important for students to understand because there could be a legal issue involved too. If they download and distribute copyrighted material, they can get in trouble legally. Also, if children do research online they need to know if the sources they are looking at are credible or are just made up. They also need to know how to correctly cite their sources. ||

I have met my short term goals by correctly citing my sources and remaining responsible on the internet by being professional. I am never posting negative or inappropriate things on Facebook or other social networking cites and I am being sure to do the right thing when I use the internet. I plan on keeping my long term plan the same and focus on staying ethical and trying to educate other on the safety of online and digital citizenship. I plan to extend my learning into my first year of teaching by remaining up to date on new technologies and attending additional training when possible.
