  When a person has a copyright for their work, it allows others to use it while the owners also receive proper attribution and sometimes payments. Copyright gives others permission to utilize someone else's work. Copyright is essentially protection when using another person's intellectual or creative work. In education, it is often that teachers need to use someone else's work to teach the material. As a teacher, I feel I would deal with these concepts by primarily teaching with my own material.

Blog #1: About Me

     Hello! My name is Riley Roth. I am a freshman at Florida State University. I am a Special Education Major in hopes of being a Special Needs Teacher at a school. Some of my favorite things to do are go to the beach, go to the gym, and try new foods!     All throughout my previous years in school, I have used computers. I feel there is not a time I do not remember using a computer or laptop for school work and class. Although I frequently used computers for school growing up, I do not have much experience with learning how to actually use the features on the computer. I am comfortable with programs such as Canvas and Google Drive, but my knowledge does not go much farther than that. I am hoping to expand my knowledge about computers and technology throughout this class!      I feel I have reliable online and offline resources that help support my personal learning network. One example of an online network would include social media. I use socia...
