I leaned a lot about Copyright in the classroom that will be helpful in developing my own instructional methods. One example will be explaining Copyright to my future students as intellectual property. Understanding intellectual property will be helpful when they complete their own projects because they will understand their own rights to their work and how important it is to give credit to other works. A good way to explain to kids the concept of Copyright in the classroom is similar to that of a bibliograhy. Teaching kids about Copyright also disuades them from plagiarizing, as we emphasize the importance of knowing how to reference others without stealing intellectual property.

Academic dishonesty is a greatly faced issue in today's educational setting. Each day, we hear more and more about the usage of AI as a method of students getting their assignments done. In order to combat this dishonest issue in the classroom in my future teaching, I would definitely use anti-cheating detection websites for online assignment submissions. Other strategies could be using more paper essays in the classroom every once in a while to check for students' honest
understanding. This will not completely eradicate academic dishonesty in the classroom, but it will stop some students from cheating.

I thoroughly enjoyed the newsletter assignment. Some things that I learned about through this assignment were how to break the pages into columns, add borders, change margins, and more! I also became a bit more comfortable using Canva to digitally design my banner. In the future, I would like to try doing more columns and more detail with graphics. I hope this helps me be more comfortable using technology in a creative sense in my future endeavors.

Though I have not used Instagram or X for career driven reasons, I can see how these platforms could be helpful in the future. Social media tools are an opportunity to network and interact with people that could open new doors for my future career path. Growing up, I attended schools that were digitally rich. There were always computer labs that we would use as a class to complete assignments. I feel that this allowed me to feel more comfortable navigating computers, especially in an educational setting. Because I participated in computer classes throughout my K-12 experience, I was more prepared for my consistent technology usage in college. Those who did n...

Some of the pages that school websites use to relay information are administration/staff pages, calendars, school updates, registration, and more. All of this information is public so that students and parents can stay up to date and access resouces. The administration/staff pages are useful to find staff contact information. Specific tabs are available for parent and student resouces too. Links and downloads to forms, policies, and the handbook can be found, for example.  https://www.okaloosaschools.com/o/choctaw/page/about-us Technology will help me in my professional responsibilities because it will help me stay organized and do my job easier.
