Blog Assignment 6


As an educator and someone who has a family member in the technology field, I will hopefully be using technology constantly in my classroom. Technology is invented to help us make things easier. Technology is a way to teach lessons in many different ways to students that all learn in many different ways. It is important to keep up to date with technology because it is constantly changing. Over the last seven weeks i learned that before i began the class my thought process of technology was minuscule. I have learned different uses of technology and just different technologies all together. It is extremely important as educators to constantly stay updated with current technology and to apply it in the classroom. My view's about technology have grown and i can see myself now after taking this class using different technical methods in future classrooms.

When i begin teaching i will not pay attention to copyright laws. Teachers have been showing video and audio clips for years and using different books for educational use. To get a video approved by the copyright holder or a book would be a waste of time to me and the copyright holder. This is not an inconvenience but it is hindering my students from learning and is an extreme waste of time to educators. The same goes to students during projects. It is bothersome to the student and is a complete waste of time to the students and copyright holder.
