Reflection
Students are much more likely to understand good digital citizenship — the norms of appropriate, responsible technology use — when teachers model it on a regular basis. It is also important for all educators to spend time directly teaching and actively promoting digital citizenship. And keep in mind that it's not just one person's job to teach digital citizenship in a school, but everyone's shared responsibility. As an instructor, it's our responsibility to aware and teach students how to use and online resources ethically and cite references correctly. The artifacts chosen reflect the areas where I believe this standard has been met.
- Movie Story Video: Movie story is a method of demonstrating course contents in edited video format so that learners can learn the lectures through the video directly. The movie story is not only a video but includes several media images, audio, text and video itself. From the project, you may notice that all of the images and scripts I used were retrieved from online resources. But I have listed original information and link of all online resourced in a separately credited page at the end of video.
- Internship Reflection: This reflection recorded the whole internship experience in Purvis middle school and Oak grove high school. What impressed me is an instructional technologist need to train teachers how to use the new technologies into teaching as well as solving the problems from teachers' feedback, but also interacting with students in a very innovative way in the classroom.
- Canvas Course: This online course was created on Canvas, today, Canvas is replacing Blackboard as new learning management system in all educational institutions in U.S. Canvas is easy to navigate, so instructors can build courses easily and consistently. This tool also makes grading assignments much easier, enabling instructors to give students more thorough and efficient feedback. In addition, learners Additionally, students gained cultural understanding and global awareness by write reaction papers about global economic news and interaction with other students on discussion board.

Future Learning Goals
I want to always be a ethical model for my students to follow. I will promise that everything I make is credible and every online resource I used is ethical. I will continue treated myself as a digital citizen and inspire my learners keep trying to use new technology. In the globalized world today, even there is a language barrier between each nation, but the global awareness told us the knowledge has no borders.
