 It is very important to know what copyright and fair use are. Copyright is a law that protects original works by giving the creator credit for their work and not letting other people claim it or share it without saying where they got it from. Fair use is ways you can share parts of work you find while also giving credit to whoever created it and using it to explain something else or appreciate it. As a teacher in the future, I would deal with this by always stressing to address where works they are using for assignment have come from and to do so correctly so they do not get in trouble and receive a fair grade. There are many technology implementation issues arising in schools and in the classroom, meaning as teachers we will have to figure out ways to find solutions and handle them.

There are many digital platforms used in education specifically including Microsoft Word. Although I personally have always used google docs, I am definitely familiar with the platform and have used it a couple times before. I've used it for essays and assignments when my teacher preferred it. I like google docs more because it's under my google account and I can pull it up anywhere and there is also the amazing feature where you can share your document and allow others to edit on it.

 Hello everyone! My name is Amanda Kroecker and I am from West Palm Beach. I am currently a junior at FSU and studying english. I transferred from TCC this semester, but am bummed I will not get to be on campus. I am taking this course for my education minor and am very excited! I think I am pretty familiar with educational technology. When I was in elementary school my teachers would use projectors, which are pretty outdated now, but were very new at the time. In high school and even now, we had to go on our phones or computers to use kahoot. And now I am using all of my technology in an educational way because all classes are remote. I do not feel as if I have a ton of personal learning networks. My mom is a teacher though, so if I ever need school supplies or anything like that I can always ask her. I have website all over the internet that help me further understand lessons, like youtube or quizlet. And lastly, I have my very professors that I can always go to.
