There are a few ways I can deal with copyright if I was a teacher. Fair use states that I am allowed to use a limited amount of copyrighted works for the sake of educational purposes, such as teaching and research. When students create their own works, they would be able to use things in the public domain, not anything outside of it. I feel as though these ideas are sufficient enough for me and my understanding of copyright. 

One issue involving technology implementation that I believe can be a problem is academic dishonesty. I feel the reason this is a prevalent issue is because of how homework is done in college. Most homework, especially those that involves answering a series of questions in sentence format, involves doing a lot of research and checking to make sure they get the right answer, leading to people wanting to save time. A way to solve this is by not having so much homework, or at least questions in homework that demand saying so much when those problems can be answered with less words, so that students won't feel like they're unnecessarily losing time. 

I genuinely do not think that using AI, such as ChatGPT, is beneficial in the teaching for students. For starters, by constantly using AI to answer questions, it prohibits students from actually thinking and knowing how to instinctively come up with answers. On top of this, there is a chance that AI can make mistakes, mistakes that can be easily avoided if a student simply attempted to answer it without depending on things such as ChatGPT. Even if these generative AI gets improved, it should still not be used in classes. 

There were a few things I learned when creating my Newsletter design. I learned how to use a custom banner, create different headings, and sections, use special numbered and bulleted lists, and even create links. I do believe that these skills could be of use in my future when pursue my career in creative writing. One way it could help would be whenever I would post a new book or advertise an event involving my works, and I would use the newsletter to raise awareness to it.
