Two insights that expired me while taking this course is not being afraid to try something new like blogging. Another thing that inspired me is to do my research on the different technologies that could be used in the classroom, even if I view it as boring because it just grasp a certain students attention being that everyone is unique.
Two insights related to andragogy that inspired me is to know the student population that I teach. It is important to know what tools to use to teach students. Another insight that I have gained is to take time and plan my lesson around the learning objectives to make sure the students learn the course content.
I will incorporate these insights into my future teaching practices by exploring different teaching and learning practices to make sure the students are grasping the learning material. I will also use different technologies to accomplish the learning objectives of the course.

EthicalCosiderations and Positive Social Change
The technology that I selected is Blackboard Learning Management Systems. I have always enjoyed working with Blackboard while teaching my students. Introduction to Government is a fun but boring course. I make the course fun by posting videos on each chapter that will help the students understand. I engage the students by creating discussions that are mandatory. Two research papers are due in the semester that I have the students to submit through Safe Assignment via Blackboard. Safe Assign is a “anti- plagiary software like TurnitIn that detects forms of plagiary” (Mozgovoy, Kakkonen, &Cosma, 2010, p.513).
Ethical issues to consider in the POLS 101 is that everyone has right to voice their opinion, but respectfully. Cain, Fink, and Sparm (2010) identified such rights as freedom of speech which I value and encourage to use respectfully.
Social change can be seen by the diverse population of students collaborating together and learning from each other. As a minority, I find it wonderful that different cultures can engage, learn from each other while being professional.
