   I will deal with the concepts of copyright as a teacher specifically when using certain course material. For example, when utilizing certain textbooks, articles, and/or images I will make sure I follow the specific creative commons copyright rules. I have learned that there are six different creative common licenses available when copyrighting my work. I have also learned about the Steam Boat Willie public domain information discussed in class. I have lingering questions about the distribution of music in the realm of copyright, specifically concerning the competitive dance world.  

   The technology implementation issue I have chosen to propose a solution for is academic dishonesty. With the increasing influence of artificial intelligence it is easier for students today to generate their homework instead of using their own intellect. To try and prevent this form of academic dishonesty in my future classroom I would try and make a majority of my grades for my course be work done in class overtime and completed on paper. I would require my students to take notes on paper to prevent them from being distracted in class as well. If I request a paper to be written I would make sure that I have access to the document's edit history and put the paper through an A.I. detector. With cheating in my classroom, I would remove all electronic devices from the student's reach as well as have dividers so students cannot look at their peers. 

   The new skills that I have acquired from working on the Newsletter Design assignment is working with specific Microsoft Word functions. For example, creating a two column display was something I had never done before. I also learned about having to create interactive assignments for my "students" to do, as I had never thought about a lesson plan before. I can improve my newsletter in the future by incorporating a more themed presentation based on the month of the newsletter. For example, I chose love for February, I would do a green/lucky theme for March, and a celebration theme for April since it is my birthday month. I can use the skills I learned from the assignment for future briefs and case research in the legal field.

      In this class, I want to learn how to utilize a variety of different online tools. I am looking forward to creating and designing numerous assignments on Microsoft applications as well as other websites like Canva, Padlet, and Blogger. While I am not currently planning on becoming a teacher, using these resources will be extremely helpful in Law School. As an aspiring attorney, knowing how to work on Microsoft processing systems can definitely expose me to a more efficient way to write memos, briefs, pleadings, and contracts.      My prior experience using technology in an educational setting is diverse across numerous operating platforms. My first experience with technology in the classroom was using Microsoft Word and PowerPoint in middle school. I mostly used Microsoft Word for homework assignments, which required me to write about the topics discussed in class. I also used Microsoft PowerPoint for the purposes of presenting group projects for a va...

  When working on the Web Design assignment, I acquired the new skill of building a website using Weebly. I had created websites using other platforms before, so creating a website on Weebly allowed for me to broaden my horizons in being familiar with website platforms. I used the principles of CRAP all throughout my wesbite. When relating contrast to my web design, it can be seen that the numerous background colors and types complement the text size, color, and shapes. For repetition, I repeated the same title font, size, and color for every subsection of my pages, as well as for my body text. I aligned all of my pictures, text, and graphics to the best of my ability to where everything was evenly spread out. The same sentiment goes for proximity, in regard to allowing the web design outline to help guide me on how to properly space out my sections for each page. In total, having the web design outline helped me in providing a professional and neat look for all the elements of CRA...

     My experience with blogging for this class has been extremely positive! I like that I get to reflect on the prior week's happenings. I also like that I get to just ramble on by responding to the prompts, which allows me to just word vomit without speaking. I also enjoy that we have a class blog where I can read other student's blog posts and get to read their thoughts and feelings. One thing I do not fully enjoy is the time it takes me to complete the blogs, since I have so much to write, it takes me longer than it probably should. I have learned the importance of reflection during this blogging process. I have only blogged once during middle school, which I found enjoyable. However, I never understood why until this class, as it allows for me to reflect on what we are covering in class in a manner other than taking a written assignment to present my knowledge of the topic.       When talking about artificial intelligence in education, I think tha...
