Digital Rights and Responsibilities

Everyone has equal rights and responsibility to access to technology and understand the drawbacks and limitations when this access is inoperative. Most of the people in society are using the internet to access online libraries or eBook. It also provides extended time for those students with special needs to work on their assignment or projects. But we as a user should know rights and responsibilities of ourselves.

Digital citizens should consider that there is essentially a virtual bill of rights protecting everyone online. Thus, issues such as privacy, free speech, and so on apply to the digital user. The privileges and freedoms extended to all digital technology users, and the behavioral expectations that come with them.

Digital citizens must know how to use technology in an appropriate manner. We have got right to create, share and express freely our own work and also right to refer others work but should get permission from the author. If we refer others ideas in our work, it’s our responsibility to thank the author.

Every good digital citizen should employ electronic precautions to guarantee safety such as creating secure passwords, not sharing passwords, backing up data, antivirus protection and surge control. Passwords can be created for word documents, PowerPoint presentations, face book, etc. So, as a teacher it’s our responsibility to share these things to our students.

Reflection on Microsoft Word

Microsoft lets us create, edit, view, and share our files quickly and easily. It is helpful tools for every one of us to make documents, often we called words. Microsoft word has been used widely across the world by all the educators. It offers the kind of adding the latest date and time to document. It only takes seconds to update the date and time, so word helps in updating it automatically. 

Microsoft word makes work very easy. We can translate languages by using the translate feature. We can not only translate a word we can translate whole sentences. If the documents that we are writing needs graph, the new word feature has made it easier to create a graph using the Insert tab, and click table. We can use as much as we need. And if we don’t need the graph, select Microsoft chart and can delete as shown in the option.

I have gained lots of knowledge by using this software. It improves our language as well. While writing any document, if we make mistake or spelling mistake, it's automatically shown with the green underline on the word. So, we just need to click on the word and it gives a correct spilling and grammatically correct. While doing an assignment, Microsoft helps us so much. We don’t have to use a pen and paper like we used to do; we just need to type on laptops or computers using this software.

Microsoft word is an important education application. As a teacher using different teaching strategies while teaching can enhance the learning. Using Microsoft is one way to teach learners. When I was on teaching practice, I saw an English teacher teaching how to write letters, the teacher uses a computer lap and with the use of computer she gave lots of examples of leave letters. And I taught class four science, I was asked to prepare questions for the exam. So, I used Microsoft word and it makes my work very easier. I have to show to my mentor before the exam. My mentor found out lots of mistakes and need to edit lots. So, it’s very easy to edit on this software as we don’t have to take a pen and paper and write on it. I just took a few minutes to edit on Microsoft. So, am going to use Microsoft word to document any things throughout my life as it has lots of benefits.
