What does Copyright even mean??
















After taking the two quizzes, I was surprised at how little I knew about copyright and fair use! I had a lot of confidence in most of my answers and yet for the first quiz I received a 70% and the second quiz I received a 50%! Some of the topics that I got wrong and should focus on when I complete the assignments are copyright and fair use when used in an educational setting and copyright on the internet in general. I have a lot to learn so I'm going to get to it!

If not all of these are met, this could lead to teachers wasting valuable time if the technology they are integrating doesn't fit into what they are trying to teach.

Learning to Change, Changing to Learn

The video "Learning to Change Changing to Learn" talked about a lot of very good points, but the one that was most interesting to me was when the woman said that school is only one of the places that students learn and that there are so many more such as at home, in their communities, at libraries, at museums, and online! It's very true that students learn everywhere they go and it is important to allow them to have these other outlets for learning. Another person from the video talked about how phones and laptops are banned from schools, however with these tools allow students to be content-developers and communicators and is big part of education that teachers can no longer try to turn a blind eye to.
