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.

 I have both good and poor experiences with EME2040. I liked how this class introduced me to different tools and sites that I previously had no clue that they existed. I didn't like how this class used things from Microsoft at times, as they always seemed to give me trouble for no good reason, and I don't like how this class is structured in a way as if it is expecting me to be a teacher in my future career. When I do become a teacher (I won't), I would improve the experience of my students by having the course be considerate to those that don't have a specific career in mind for their future.  Open educational resources are learning resources that are normally online, which anyone can access and use through numerous ways. One example of this is OER Commons. This site allows people to view, create, and even share OERs amongst others in groups. This site contains a whole library of OERs that people can view and use for their own needs. Link:  https://oercommons.org/ Ther...

The biggest skill I gained from Assignment 5 was how to use links in one slide in order to switch to different slides.  I had some experience with hyperlinks before, but not in this kind of manner. The one thing I disliked, like all other times I use Microsoft, was having a difficult time dealing with PowerPoint. It was extra frustrating as it was giving me a difficult time to even send the slides over in order for them to get graded.  I'm not entirely sure when exactly I would use data collection tools in my future career. If anything, I would probably use them when in relation to how certain written works of mine are received by others, since I'm going to be in the creative writing field after all. I could probably keep a list of how well certain books of mine do well with my audience. One other thing can be or have a survey of how well I implement certain elements into my stories. I think one technology-related skill I would like to learn next would be cybersecurity. I woul...

When I began using social media for Personal Learning Networks, I had started with Instagram. On Instagram, I interacted with #teachertalk, leaving a comment on one of their posts. I found it beneficial as it gives great advice of keeping calm and choosing which battles to fight with students, showing the importance of having responsibility and maturity when teaching students. If was were to use either Instagram or Twitter in the future, it would most likely to be advertise and completed written works of mine.  Digital divide affects student success in school as they tend to have lower academic performances and they tend to have less access to information to further their studies. What is probably one of the main causes of digital divide is the inaccessibility technology can be for low income families. Some ways that this could affect certain teaching strategies that I use when teaching kids, as some students may fall behind during certain lessons if they aren't familiar with techn...
