Copyright is a form of property or rights that an author has to create copies or their original work for publishing or resale. Fair use limits the rights of copyright material so one may use the material without contacting the original creator. As a teacher, it is extremely important to make sure you copyright original material you create or if you are using someone else's material that you make sure it is fair use. Students must be aware of the definitions of these terms so they don't copy or steal material that is not theirs.
Cyberbullying is a huge technology implementation issues. A possible solution to cyberbullying is to monitor what kids post on class forums or restricting hurtful and harmful words. Academic dishonesty is another big technology implementation issue. A way to avoid academic dishonesty is to send all submitted work through a plagiarism site such as Turnitin. Restricting group work is also a helpful way to avoid academic dishonesty.
I thoroughly enjoyed working on the Newsletter Assignment and pretending I had my own classroom. Some new skills I acquired were learning how to add a banner to my documents, creating word art, and decorating text boxes to make them shaded and outlined. I think to improve my newsletter, I could add more visual elements or interactive elements. The skills I learned were extremely useful for my future career aspirations as a teacher.
