 Hello! Today I will be talking about copyright, fair use, technology implementation issues, and new skills I have acquired. To begin copyright is the legal protection of any property someone creates. It means that if you create something you have the right to use it and distribute it if you want to.

As for using other things in the classroom students and educators cannot use copyrighted works without permission. It is ok to use things created by yourself or students but you cannot use pirated or copied programs, photocopies of an entire textbook, and more.  Secondly, I will discuss technology implementation issues.

It is important for teachers to engage with students to figure out what the student is struggling with, especially technology wise.  The term digital native means a person born or brought up during the age of technology. Someone who is a digital native is familiar with technology and knows how to use it from an early ...

     Hello! My name is Serena Verduzco and I am a sophomore studying Elementary Education at Florida State University. I knew I wanted to teach from a very young age because I would play school with my siblings and loved it. Since then any opportunity where I could teach someone anything, I would. Along with that, I am a dog mom who can be seen laying around the house with my lazy dog Bean. I also like to play guitar, work, sing, and dance.           I am making this blog post to document my journey through Introduction to Educational Technology. Prior to this class I have been a student all of my life and had lots of experience with technology. I have used it in every one of my classes starting in elementary all the way to college. I have used technology to study, play learning games, take quizzes, tests, etc. I have also taken a class my freshman year called Introduction to Education where we learned about everything having to do with ...
