Many students need a visual aid to help them come up with ideas. For the third grade Inspiration is a great software application that can help do that. One lesson plan that utilizes this software could be one that has the students write an essay. With an idea web from Inspiration, the students could develop their writing skills at a much faster pace.

This website is visually incorrect. There is an unimportant portion in the top middle of the page. What is important, the definition of the word, requires one to have to scroll down to view. Instead the definition of the word should be at the top middle of the page. Most of the top middle part of this website is unimportant information. One should have the most important things in the top middle.
Senior year of high school our class president was caught plagiarizing an essay. He had his office title removed. I believe that it is circumstantial with regard to what a teacher should do. What should be most important is that they learn their lesson and do not plagiarize again. In high school a student can afford to learn this lesson the hard way, but not in college. I definitely would not let the student completely off the hook.

I have used Microsoft Word as a student many times. From third or fourth grade students from my school had to become familiar with this software. I remember early in my life liking how it would correct the misspelled words. Teachers would use it from time to time but not as often early in my life. This is because technology has become much more involved with teaching.
One tool I learned from chapter would be the readability statistics page. I did not know this existed before. With this page you can pin point what a student is doing wrong in their writing. For example they have too many words per sentence or have too many passive sentences. The student can also use this tool as well.
What we learned in paint was very useful. There are many things you can do in paint that can help teachers. One thing I learned was how to copy any page from the internet and put it into paint. This can be incorporated into the classroom through many activities. In paint you can edit pictures and drawings to your liking.
