We have been learning all about copyright. The laws, restrictions, everything about what you can and cant use and how much of it you can use, when you use it!
To me as a teacher, this mean that I need to be careful with what I decide to use with my class. We are doing this because it can be so easy to use someone else's stuff without their permission and you probably don't even know you did it. We just need to be aware with what we are using as teachers. To me, technology become more broad with the more stuff we learn about in class and I don't think it will do anything but help us all become great teachers in the near future!
This information we learned can change the type of teacher I will be because it has opened my eyes to the types of resources and i can and cannot use. I think copyright laws are a good thing. I don't think i would want people using my stuff without permission, especially if i had worked hard to develop it and only wanted it for myself.

8 March -- Digital Stories 1
We are learning about digital stories, what they are and how to create one. The assignment we will be performing will be making a digital story to use in our upcoming field experience, in one of our lesson plans.
For me as a teacher, this could just be another approach in teaching a subject that may be boring or uninteresting to some, and make it into something that can catch their attention. I believe we are doing this to better our ways of teaching and to widen our mindset, into somthing besides standing and teaching and talking. To me, technology is a skill that can better what you already know, opening your mind to new things. To my colleagues, this can mean a better perspective for them, because maybe they have not been exposed to methods like these.
To my future students, technology can mean more opportunities to express they way they feel and get a better sense of they way they like to be taught. This can change the way I can be a better teacher because each time I learn something new, it is just one more type of teaching, added to my "teaching type" bank! I personally love new ideas like this. Well, new to me. The more I learn they more ways I feel I can reach more kids through teaching.
