Copy Right and Fair Use..What and why does this matter? Copy Right is the using of material not belonging or created by you. Copy Right basically protects the "creators'" work. For example you can create a website, write a book, create a movie, paint a painting and if its your own original work it belongs to you, and you have the right to get a Copy Right to make sure no one can use your creation/ work without your permission or without pay. However there is Fair use. Not everything out there on the world wide web is an original. Do you ever go through instagram, youtube, tik tok, etc and see clips of someones video within a video? Or have you ever seen Vincent Van Gough'[s starry night painting within another piece of art work but ever so slightly different and serving as a different purpose? This is fair use. Fair Use means you are able to take a part but NOT ALL of a piece of work, rework it to be unique and different then before. Copy Right you HAVE to get permission and give credit to the creator. In the future as a Teacher these will be crucial within the classroom. For starters almost every class, uses a textbook or book within the subject. Biology you have a bio book, chemistry and chem book, reading a book of some sort given by the teacher. You will often be asked to draw information from the textbooks and write papers ion the read material. When doing the assignments you will have to site your work and give credit to the author of the book when using THEIR information. Fair Use will also play a role because of the help of videos, movies, or pictures that help teach what you are teaching but in a better visual form. I remember in school when a teacher would give out articles or excerpt of books for us to examine and use but not the full textbook was given. Movies as well were played and showed to help give more information but rarely was a whole movie shown unless it was paid for.
Now technology is a great form of learning and teaching in my opinion but to say it is flawless would be false. Technology is ever changing and is not as reliable as one ought to think. Wifi crashes, updates, internet access are just a few problems that arise in technology. Within the classroom I will be faced with some issues, two in specific:Academic Dishonesty and Decreased Productivity. Academic dishonesty has and continues to be a problem whenever faced with papers and assignments because students tend to think a teacher won't know when they have copied and pasted, or taken information from a website or other person to make their work. However applications such as Turnitin.com are websites that are available to turn in papers to check for plagiarism. I will be using this website as well as keeping my material and assignments solely my own narrowing the occurrence of my students to find answers else where than my given material. Secondly Decreased Productivity is almost inevitable. Whenever technology is around it is not hard for one to wonder off or get more into the technology being used rather than the material being learned. Although I will not be cutting out technology use I will not be solely relying on it for teaching purposes. Just as the saying goes "Everything in moderation" I will be using technology in moderation to lessen to decreased productivity that can arise when on technology.
In our first Assignment :Newsletter. I went in head strong thinking this would be an easy first grade because Hey I have been using Microsoft since the first grade. Boy was I wrong. I had trouble with columns and spacing that I didn't even realize I was going to have issues with. I also had a hard time trying to keep material relevant and inviting, not as a boring advertisement or flier that no one wants to read or pay attention to. I believe that after this assignment I can confidently say that I have gain wisdom on how to be precise, straight to the point, but also inviting. This skill will play a high part in my future career because as a Sports Medicine Physician no one likes sugar coated things, however no one likes frank bold statements and information because you will come off as rude or arrogant. Learning this when I become a sports medicine physician weather applying this skill in person with patient or if asked to create a flier or newsletter for my company I will be able to create easy to read, follow, and precise newsletters that will engage the patients or audience whom chosen to give to.
