Blog Journal #3:

I have had previous experience with using Microsoft office using word document, powerpoints, and spreadsheets. I was introduced to Microsoft office in middle school when I took a typing class in 6th grade. I adapted to typing fast and used it on Microsoft Office Word. I know the basics in how to use Microsoft Word and I learned the fundamentals of it in middle school but I have forgotten not using some of the specific skills within the next past few months.
I am familiar with the Copyright and Academic Honesty from Florida State University standpoint and how they look onto the subject. But, I feel even though it is on the syllabus although students overlook it and even ignore it. Along with the professional not emphasizing it for the class.
The three components that stand out that I believe I can propose a solution to is copyright, academic honesty, and cyberbullying.  All of these are expanding in not only the technological field community but also in the academics standpoint. I believe it is important to our community and for us to teach our youth as young as possible so they know the knowledge behind these things.
To start off with, Copyright is a word that is widely used but not entirely understood. Copyright is defined as the exclusive legal right to publish. You can get in huge academic trouble if you copy something on your paper without citing it properly. Learning all the different citations in college was hard just because we were taught different in high school and didn't even have enough information on it at certain schools. Personally, I only remember learning the MLA format for citations in high school. There are several different formats that need to be a requirement for students to know before they receive their ere high school diploma. The biggest solution is proposing that as a requirement in high school to take a technology-based course that informs students on copyright, citations, etc.  Also, giving it as a class for middle school students to expand their resources.
Next, Academic honesty is a concern that Florida State does not take any excuse on. In my own words, Academic honesty is the use of misleading information and/or cheating in a certain class. With that being said the only proposed solution to that is diffcult but just to make sure student gain knowledge on what guidelines it holds and how hard the consequences can be if they were to break it. I believe a great specific solution could be a teacher giving an example of the consequence once someone does not follow the academic honesty so students will have a better understanding. Unfortunately, that can only be classroom-based instead of state-wide expansion.
Finally, Cyberbullying was a huge issue a few years ago, but I believe its declining. Cyberbullying is a form of bullying where someone targets another person in bullying over online websites. I believe we have already proposed solutions in having children take knowledge of the consequences of cyberbullying and why they should NOT take part in it. Even made films such as "Cyberbully" that visually shows how it feels to be bullied over the computer screen. As an american society we have took a good route in informing people on the unfortunate mishappens of cyberbullying, the only other solution I give is informing children at a young age so they know how important that any form is bullying is unacceptable.
To conclude, Copyright , Academic, and Cyberbullying are all three components that have possible solutions. It just take over time to fluctuate the statistics in a sense.
