The Dangers of Copyright

Copyright problems and cases are something that people generally do not think too much about. People will use images, songs, and tapes without permission; thinking nothing of it until they are hit with a hefty fine. It is important for everyone to understand the dangers of copyright, I myself did not realize how little I knew about it until I took the copyright quiz.

Above I attached a link about how to avoid copyright trouble on YouTube.

Teachers and school districts can get into serious legal trouble if they are not careful about their copyright uses. You do not want to be THAT teacher that makes a mistake and gets the school in trouble. Always follow a rule of thumb when using someone else's work.

Your rule of thumb should be: If I did not write it, tape it, sing it, or take a picture of it, then I need to say WHO DID. I have attached a yes and no chart as a guideline to copyright materials. Teachers should also make their students aware of the copyright regulations. When writing papers, students could get in serious trouble, such as dismissal from the school, for not siting their sources. You could even give the quiz on eClass to your students to see if they know just how tricky it can be to avoid landing under a copyright lawsuit.

eFolio

The course eFolio contains the majority of all of the work we did in the teaching with technology course. It is an accumulation of assignments and connections made throughout learning the course material. My eFolio contains some of my application connections along with my technology learning checklists that were done throughout the chapters. I think my eFolio shows a lot of what I have done in the course and how I have become a better technology user within the last month! I cannot wait to apply everything I have learned in this class into my classroom this upcoming fall.

Image
 When I look at this picture, the first word that comes to my mind is: Chaotic. This image seems to be a dangers of the internet image. Its a combination of all the things that you need to do to protect yourself from the online world. Without being cautious, your information could be leaked to the entire online world without your knowledge.  It is important to always keep your files locked and under passwords. With the technology we have in this day and age, hackers can easily penetrate into your files to access your information. NEVER keep your personal information in a place that is easy to access! As teachers, our job is to keep our students safe. By teaching them the dangers of PowerPoint and of the web, we are giving them the information they need to know to be smart online users.

WoW Project

The Web of Wonders project was a thought-provoking and eye-opening experience that was not only served to educate others but also educate myself as I was creating it. I chose to do my Social Studies tutorial-style project because I wanted to find outlets of technology to use for myself, and I wanted to show others how they can use it in the classroom as well. I chose to use Powtoon because it is a fun and visually pleasing presentation site. There are so many different things to do on Powtoon and unique ways to present the information you are trying to convey. I again used Screencast-o-Matic to narrate through my presentation to go into more details on the technologies I was discussing in my slides. I also enjoyed seeing all of the creative things my classmates were able to create. It was interesting for me to see what everyone came up with and what they took away from the course. There were interesting and well-thought out presentations that in each individuals own way, summed up the...
