Why do we have to respect copy rights.... the important word here is 'respect'. Writing,web development, or any creative endeavor is not only hard work but, often, part of a persons soul. When one has an original thought it is very important to make sure that they are given credit. It seems that the best thing we can actually teach is for our students to develop the ability to think. To think creatively, to think critically, to think compassionately. How to do this is a multilevel concept. We must make them understand how they would feel if someone took something from them. Also they need to be taught that actions have consequences. Unfortunately this lesson is often only learned after the fact.
Understanding the difference between safety and bullying is a harder question. And how do we keep students safe and insulated from both? Truly I have some ideas regarding this but no real answers. I know from experience that there are a lot of variables regarding this subject. Most districts have software and rules with regard to this issue. They are not perfect and again I would offer that teaching our students to think and ask questions along with the district standards will help but can not completely answer the problem.
My thoughts on this week - very cool. I learned much on copy right law. I really did not know what a teacher could use and what they couldn't. I bookmarks almost all the links for use later.

posting for ETEC class
Yep I know it has been a while - sorry about that. I really love blogging but life seems to get in the way. I am posting this for my technology in education class so it will not contain a lot of my personal thoughts, maybe.
I just read this incredible article about using technology in the classroom and recommend it to anyone who has the desire to teach. It is a real eye opener. I found it in the library and the title is 'How do you leverage the latest technologies including web 2.0 tools, in your classroom' this is truly a must read.
Guess I better get to the 2 papers I have to write and the algebra I cant figure out. I will post soon.
