Week 2 Reflection (January 18th)
In the second week of our class I have been working on completing my blog posts while trying to learn more about how to create a website. I have gotten a lot more comfortable and confident, but I still have a lot to learn.
In class this week we discussed digital footprints, intellectual property, and copyright. My biggest takeaway was the many rules of copyright. In high school some of my teachers briefly touched on the rules of copyright, but I never learned about them in depth. I was mainly just aware that I could not take something from the internet and claim it as my own. Now however, I feel like I have a much better grasp on the rules of copyright and know how I can use and post content online. The other important point from this lecture was the reminder about our digital footprints. As aspiring teachers we have to remember to stay mindful of our digital footprint and what we post online.
After only two weeks of class I feel like I have already learned so much, I am excited to see what’s next!

I feel like the rules of copyright are something that we should all learn in high school, considering how important they are in this digital age. I wonder if there is some way to teach copyright symbols and there meanings to middle school students, to help them avoid plagiarism and copyright laws, especially for the aspiring bloggers and influencers among them 🙂

I was surprised to learn all the details of copyright rules in class, and I am grateful that we were taught them as they will be important in our teaching careers. I am glad to hear that you are learning lots already and are growing more comfortable with website building!
