Week Three Reflection

Hello digital world! Today's class was very productive and informative! Personally being non-techno savvy, I had a lot of fun playing around with the Powtoon program and creating our Genius hour slide show. After this, we explored and critically reviewed different videos including a Ted Talk presentation and a clip from the show titled "Mr.D" Overall, I can't believe how much I've learned from this class and it is fascinating to see how much technology can be incorporated into the classroom! Thanks for reading :) Julia

DG1: COPYRIGHT

Did you know every original piece of media form on the internet is copyrighted in North America? The creation of graphics, video clips, audio recordings, and other digital multimedia, can only be used by the creator itself unless otherwise given permission to use it. Can you imagine the inconvenience of having to contact and gain permission of every media form before using it? I have learned through Genius Hour that users can obtain others work through the creators release of copyright licenses.

As an educator, I feel it is necessary to stress the importance of not plagiarizing off others, and instead, thinking for ourselves. It is our responsibility to set an example of authenticity, while promoting the use of the Copyright Act when students are using other peoples work.

My Welcome Post

Hello!

I'm super excited for this course to take launch! Today I learned about some valuable tools, one of which includes Genius Hour. Genius Hour is a tool that helps students work toward their passion by creating projects relevant to their dreams!

Educational technology is constantly growing and it is amazing to see the advancements in today's classrooms. When looking back at my early years, these resources were not available. I'm very thankful to be learning about and making use of these new and useful tools.

Here is some food-for-thought :)
