Copy Right

After reviewing all the information on Copy Right, I'm amazed and how detailed it is. I am also 100% positive all my teachers broke those rules when I was in high school and either had no idea or did it anyway. I was surprised by the detail on specific types of literature and videos. How you can use a certain time, but not over that time, or even have access because it isn't broadcast. I think that it will limit but also make me use technology wisely. I won't just grab a video, or piece of text and use it in my class. I'm going to have to make sure I'm using them legally before I present them to my students.

21st century technology

I think students should have as much access to technology as possible.  Since students are so obsessed with their video games, computers, and phones using technology in a learning environment would only keep students interested.  I feel that there are many areas that don’t have the ability to use computers or other forms of technology.  I think it makes it a lot harder for teachers and students when we live in a society driven by technology.  To not have technology in a classroom, it only hinders the teacher and students.  I believe the 21^st century school will be completely different.  Teachers will be able to use technology not to run a classroom, but to aid in their teaching process.  Eventually chalk and chalkboards will be a thing of the past, and a rarity in a classroom. I think as long as teachers monitor the student’s activity on computers, it will be beneficial.

What I hope to learn....

I hope to learn several things about computers and the tools that can be used by them in a classroom.   I want to be able to make my classroom exciting and keep my students interested and involved.  Using computers and other technology will keep students attention and allow myself to teach in multiple ways.  I can also use different tools to work with another teacher to plan units that involve other information other then History.
