Leaning Enhanced Through Technology
Students learning can be enhanced through the use of technology in the classroom. Often the use of technology in the classroom results with more time. What I mean by this is they have the ease of finishing things at home or thinking and then responding from home rather than from the classroom itself. Cell-phones can be of great impact in the classrooms even when taking poles or texting a blog which the whole class can see. It allows for better communication between the teacher and the students. Students can now be taught through using different forms of power-points which can have movies directly on them which allows faster service to the teacher for videos. Some advantages to using web tools would be that they are easy to use and saves time. There are limited options thought to using web tools and this can be a disadvantage. Templates and what not may not be able to be viewed or researched because the program is not covering that specific topic. It can also create a reliance upon the program itself. Students will be at a loss because of this because then its turns them into filling out more so busy work and more so zombies rather than thinking for themselves. Technology innovations will always be coming up as we teach our students and we must learn to move along with them! A much different approach may need to be taken when using different technology innovations and lets grab a hold of the thought, analyze it for what the positives and negatives are before we use them or find other means to combine with so that all basses are covered.
Presentation
Copyright Basics is a very important topic faced today in the technological way. When dealing with people and their works we need to be careful and smart. So... What is it?
Copyright is every expression which is original can be immediately copyrighted if used and not your own. Authors have the right to make copies of own work and publish them to other sources. A number categories of copyrighted items were discusses they are: Literary works, Musical Works, Dramatic Works, Pantomimes and Choreographic works. Each of these play important roles in specifics of how works can be copyrighted.
When not wanting to copyright another persons work we need to make sure we know when something becomes no longer copyrightable by another person. It starts from when work is created and goes 70 years after that individuals death. A common Rule of Thumb when dealing with copyrighted material is to say when in doubt, assume a work is copyrighted and ask for permission to use it. There is a fair use law that we can look into in circumstances. However we need to be very careful to look up what we are using to make sure we are not stealing another individuals work. The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes. Sound can even be copyrighted. Make sure not to copy a performable unit of music. Finances need to be going to the right source and not stolen from the individual. Teacher need to make use of the public domain and of materials provided by the government and educational institutions. Collaborate with other teachers to create and spread more material for the public domain. Ask permission from the individual to make sure and be certain. We see that this is vital as our jobs can be on the line if we are not following the law.

Digital Citizenship
Digital citizenship is a concept which allows students, teachers and even parents to access the knowledge that needs to be taught in order to better use technology. Users need to know certain concepts and this tool is that very thing for us. We need to be better informed so that our child's education can be most effective. It is more than just a teaching tool though, it is a way to prepare students and users for a society full of technology. Too often we are seeing students as well as ourselves as adults misusing and abusing technology but not sure what to do. This citizenship also allows us to teach what students are to know as appropriate technology uses as well. Why is it important? Well, for that very reason, it helps us become a better generation that does not make the mistakes that are already known in the technology world. Even learning what is fastest and which places or technology sources to tap into. I do not have links that i would consider sharing with other students, yet, but I will seek as I move on in this class to find sources that will educate students to better access the uses of technology so they can climb in the education technological world!
