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...

There were a few things I didn't like when I first started using Diigo. I am not a fan of how you have to wait for people to accept the invitation to get into the group, or at the very least, how the website doesn't even bother to let you know when you've been accepted into the group. Another thing I don't like is how, in order to perform certain actions, you are forced to use the Chrome extension. Lastly, I found the place where I can upload whatever link I wanted to be slightly confusing and a bit empty too. I actually found myself enjoying blogging quite a bit. One thing I love about it is how easy it is for me to formulate what to say here, in a way that it is similar to Google Docs, instead of being confusing like Word. I also enjoy how easy it is to send new blogs to my blog page, and how simple it is for me to check out my page without having any real problems. One thing that blogging has taught me that there was a place where I could constantly post updates in c...

During the few times when I used Microsoft Word, I had a bit of a rough time at first, but then, it was better for me later on. When I used Microsoft Word when I was in elementary school, I didn't like having to manually save my document every time I edited it. I hadn't use it or even tried to use it ever since until back in high school, where I tried to access documents that were stuck in Microsoft Word, but I was unable to do anything because I didn't have a Microsoft account nor paid for the subscription. It wasn't until I was in college when the school gave it to me as part of having a Microsoft account and had to use it for certain classes and assignments when I finally got the hang of using Word. That being said, I still prefer to use Google Docs. I prefer this over Word because it's much more accessible. I don't have to worry about manually saving things to my computer, I don't have to pay for it, and it comes automatically when making a Google accoun...
