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!

Technology Integration Assessment Rubric Reflection

Some important things for teachers to keep in mind when planning to integrate technology into their lessons is: Make sure that the instruction plan of integrating technology lines up with the curriculum goals. If it doesn't, it makes introducing this technology useless. Make sure that the technology being used will support instructional strategies. Make sure that the technology is can appropriately help teach the topic at hand. Make sure that all the aspects fit well together when including technology. 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.

Multimedia Project Reflection

Image
I had the pleasure of using Prodigy as the multimedia tool for my project. I chose Prodigy because it was something that I had heard of from the kids that I babysit for who have their homework assignments on it, however I had never really watched them do it (These kids are super smart and never ask for my help!) so I figured I would try it out since it's a math tool and that is my content area. I learned a lot about Prodigy from their  website  and also by creating a teacher account as well as a student account. I created the student account so that I know exactly what my students would be doing and a teacher account so that I could see how it evaluates each student. Some things that I learned about Prodigy are that is is designed for grades 1-8 and it is all game-based learning, meaning students can have FUN while doing math! Prodigy is great because not only does it send all the data on each student to the teacher, but it also allows for parents to track and view t...
