 As a teacher I think it is very important to be knowledgeable about copyright and fair use. I think it is especially important to be educated on the topic when it comes to classroom materials like for instruction, tests, class work and homework. I do think when it comes to the students it might be easier to avoid copyright when the students are still younger but when it comes to the older students that are using more technology, it will be more difficult to ensure they are using themselves only. Using programs that will scan for copyright like turn it in, or teaching how to use proper citations and/or summarization will help avoid copyright from your students. 

I think a solution to decreased productivity for students would be making sure that students do not have access to other platforms on their devices during the time that they’re in class. For example, I have taken tests before on my laptop, but I had to download Honorlock onto my computer, which did not allow me to open any other tabs on my computer and recorded both me, and my screen. My implementing systems like this on assignments, you are sure that both the student isn’t cheating, and they cannot get distracted by being able to open other tabs on their device. Another way you can improve decreased productivity due to access to technology is just ensuring that your students do not have access to their phones during class. 


I think 100% that AI programs are hurting student’s learning. I think that students have gotten very lazy and started to use the programs negatively. I personally do not see any positive effects of AI in a classroom and the easy access that we have to programs like ChatGPT is causing students to put less quality into their work. Students just get along passing by using AI but when it comes to tests and exams you have only hurt yourself by eventually not knowing the information. 


By working on the Newsletter Design assignment, I learned how to divide the paper into two columns which I’ve never done on word before. I could definitely improve on my newsletter design by figuring out how to better implement using the columns. I also had a hard time making getting the header to go to the top of the page and the columns didn’t line up quite the way I wanted to, and I’ll definitely want to figure it out. The skills I learn from this assignment will always effect my career because I will be creating newsletters for my future classes.

 When I was looking for teacher pages on a school website, the types of information that I found on the teacher pages was a picture of them, what grade and class they teach, their work email, class website, and phone number. I think that it was very easy to find this teacher page, all the you have to do is log onto the school’s website, click our school and click faculty and staff. If you go to the search bar and type in teachers, different sites from Leon county school come up. These include different school sites, faculty and staff pages for other schools and teacher portals. I found it even easier to scope the page out for faculty and staff rather than type it in the search bar.  https://www.leonschools.net/Page/52909   I think I will easily be able to use technology to accomplish my professional responsibilities once I teach. Our generation has been taught how to use different resources and platforms since 3rd grade or even younger, therefore we are able to easily pic...

 When I was doing distance l earning during COVID-19, I actually felt like I was much more organized and on top of my work. I think this was the case because I had a lot more free time and was spending my time doing assignments rather than spending a lot of time in my electives, or lunch, or even driving to and from school. The one thing I had a really hard time with while doing distance learning was my more rigorous classes like my AP Psychology class and my Orchestra class. Trying to prep for a AP exam through zoom made it difficult for me to focus and I got distracted easily while at home. I couldn’t imagine how much more difficult it would be teaching through distance learning, because it is so hard to connect with your students this way, however, I would probably try to come up with engaging assignments that were interactive and helped get my point across in the lesson.  Open educational resources are resources that are open for use to anyone. When it comes to identifying...
