To me, copyright means taking someone else's work without permission or without giving credit. In educational use, it means pretty much that, just more complex. It affects the classroom mainly by using textbooks, software, and videos in classes. Fair use, to me, means being able to use someone else's work - but to an extent. Fair use, when used for educational purposes, allows instructors to copy specific material for nonprofit educational purposes. However, it depends on how much work you are copying and how you will be using that copyrighted work.
If I find a rising problem with academic dishonesty in my class, I will plan to implement the issue with a lengthy presentation of plagiarism. I will want to stress to the children how big of an academic crime it is to be academically dishonest with your work once you reach high school and college. I will also implement TurnItIn on my classroom assignments, a program that detects plagiarism throughout the internet. Secondly, if I found a decrease in student productivity during class and on tasks, I would fix the problem by asking the children what they want to learn. I believe education should be enjoyable, and if all of my students are not doing their assignments well, I would be the one failing them. It could be fixed by involving new technology that is fun to them, more hands-on activities, possible change in classroom direction... I would like to fit their needs.
After working on my Newsletter, I became very familiar with Canva. Canva is very fun and was extremely helpful in my process of creation. I felt like a teacher creating something for my students to bring home and read with their parents. In the future, I could make my newsletters more eye-catching but less busy. I feel like I had a lot of clip art thrown around, which might have been a little busy for such a young child to be looking at. On the other hand, children enjoy reading more when animation and pictures are involved, so I will use those learning skills in my future career when creating assignments and tasks.
