  1. 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. Then I would add on by using someone else's video, writing, or book as examples in order to help my students understand the material more in depth. Sometimes, another person may give my students extra information I did not or it could provide another perspective.

The Fair Use guidelines are featured in the Copyright Act of 1976. The purpose of Fair Use guidelines is to allow people to use someone else's works as long as it is for nonprofitable education purposes. As a teacher, I believe fair use would be beneficial. The materials I would need would be used in my classroom, therefore solely for educational purposes and without profit.


  1.       One of the technology implementation issues I have chosen is academic dishonesty. With COVID and work being online, I feel many students take advantage of that and this is becoming a more common problem. In my future classroom, I will make sure to tell my students if the assignment is independent or not. In addition, I will encourage my students to help their peers when needed, but I will also remind them not to share and copy one another’s work. Lastly, to avoid academic dishonesty, I will make sure to teach them how to cite sources properly to avoid them accidentally using someone's work without credit. 

The second technology implementation issue I have chosen is cyberbullying. I will make sure to address this topic in the beginning of the school year. I will stress the importance of being kind and supportive to one another. I will do my best to help my students feel comfortable enough to come to me if there is a problem. By doing this, I hope the student will not hesitate to come to me and I will be aware of the issue. Then, I will be able to address it and solve it as soon as possible. 


3. From working on the Newsletter Design assignment, I have acquired new skills. For example, I got more comfortable using Canva. For the assignment, I had to use Canva to make the banner. I was able to explore the program and learn more of what it had to offer. In the future, I could improve on my spacing and where the text aligns. In my future career as a teacher, I will definitely be able to use these skills. I will most likely have to create newsletters to send home to parents or create learning boards.
