Copyright and fair use of materials in an educational environment

I never had experience with copyright or fair use as a teacher for education purposes; however, I've experienced fair use as a student, such as listening to music, watching movies for education purposes, reading books, etc. In general, I believe important guidelines of copyright and fair use for teachers are allowed to make one copy of larger copyrighted works as long as it is only for educational purposes. Short tales, poetry, charts, or diagrams from a magazine, for instance, may be duplicated for fair use educational reasons. An example of copyright and fair use is that my English teachers provide books, poems, and articles to base our study on (for educational purposes). As a teacher in the future, I will make my students aware of the laws of copyright and fair use.

 Academic Honesty and the Consequences of Plagiarism at BYU-Hawaii

Based on the reading I did about plagiarism at BYU-Hawaii, I learned about academic honesty and the consequences of plagiarism. It is the first honor code at BYU-Hawaii that everyone must 'be honest'. It's the pathway to achieving one's goal and individual improvement physically, mentally, and spiritually. Plagiarism is a form of intellectual theft that violates honest integrity, and there are serious consequences after violating this rule, such as being suspended from school, having your academic status affected, or, sadly, losing the opportunity to be in school.

    I'm glad that your comments you keep real and within the realms of your own experiences, as a student, instead of as a teacher. The things you learned about fair use in the setting as a student, will be very applicable as a teacher. Honesty is key in approaching plagiarism as well. These things you've learned I know will be of great benefit for you in the future. Mahalo :)

    Thank you Mele for connecting the post back to your own experiences with fair use. I think it is important that we stay educated about copy rights and fair use. I did not know much about it until I took this class and learned about the policies and guidelines when using others work. I found it very interesting to learn about plagiarism here at byu h and the consequences there in of participating in dishonest behavior. Thanks for sharing.

Blog 1: Using Technology

 Blog 1 Prior experiences using technology My very first-time using technology was so difficult for me. I couldn't figure out how to use it until I played around with it and became acquainted with it, as well as with the assistance of others. It was extremely relaxing knowing how useful technology is and being able to understand how it works. My first encounter with the iPhone, for example, was difficult because I had to use my Apple ID and remember it in order to gain access to the device, and there were many more things for Apple devices, such as keeping it updated to the latest software. However, as I experimented with technology and learned how various devices work, I became acquainted with and gained background knowledge for the future use of new devices. Hope to learn from this class My hope to learn from this class is to be able to gain knowledge on how certain technology works that can be used effectively in future teaching. I also wanted to get familiar with this use of te...

Benefits of active learning. Active learning is what really matters for students. A teacher with effective teaching strategies allows students to actively participate and engage in learning; in other words, students who actively learn are the ones who understand and make sense of what they learn.

To be a connected instructor, you actively participate in the global learning environment, which helps develop a personalized network for professional learning. A well-connected teacher allows others to see his progression, suggestions, and ideas in a specific field, especially in the area of education. It kept tracking down records on your improvement and that other colleges or students may learn or add their ideas to what you've contributed on your side.
