This week I learned about copyright and creative commons laws. These sets of guidelines show how creators and innovators are able to protect his or her original works and ideas. According to the Fair Use and Copyrighting for Teaching article, copyright protects literacy, musical, dramatic, pantomime, graphic, motion pictures, and sound recording works. https://shu.instructure.com/courses/7745/files/453786?module_item_id=129374
For anyone trying to use a copyright work online they must contact the original user to be granted permission to use the material in any shape or form. From the original owner granting permission they acquire a license fee from the interested user. Overall, this system helps keep original artists be able to keep his or her work under there name. In this blog post, I will be referencing to the artist/creator by "original work" and the person wanting to use that work as "the user".
Another contributing factor that we use to save artists original work is Creative Commons. Creative Commons is a way that original creators can share their work by how they create the license. There are multiple different criteras that one can incorporate. For examples, users that have Creative Commons they can just have the option of "Attribution by _". This allows everyone to know that you can share this piece of information but always have the original creator's name attached to it. Another option is having it as no commercial, which means a person can not sell the original work to anyone. However, a person could print out the picture onto a t-shirt but can not sell it. No derivatives is another option meaning that one can not change the original piece of work. This allows the original creator to not worry about people changing his or her ideas. The last option that one can have on his or her license is share alike. This criteria forces whoever is sharing the piece of original work that he or she cites the original creators. For example, lets pretend that sally wants to share a painting of a small village in Italy on her blog, she would still have to claim who was the original painter based on the share alike criteria.
This video described how the different options that you can use with Creative Commons that have different amounts of freedom for the interested user. https://shu.instructure.com/courses/7745/pages/understanding-copyright-and-creative-commons?module_item_id=129365 The least amount of freedom that a user can have with creative commons is the no commercial and no derivatives options. This limits the user by not allowing them to sell any of the original producer's work and one can not change the original work. Artists that use Creative Commons and just has the options of attraction and share alike have the most freedom. This allows the user to be able to do whatever to the piece as long as they keep the original creator's name on the post.

Canva
The cool tool that I learned about this week was how to make a Infographic. I designed my own infographic on a website called Canva. Canva is free to make an account, but some design options you have to pay for. This week, I used this cool tool by demonstrating how you can make a Cannoli. There are multiple different templates and layouts to choose from for your infographic. To make your infographic unique you could add photos, grids, frames, shapes, lines, text boxes and illustrations. Canva offers you to share, download, and order prints of your infographic.
For future educators, I would recommend using this for students in middle or high school. The setup of Canva is too complex for students in elementary school. Under each layout there are multiple different options that you can choose to design, however; students have to decipher what options are free or cost money. To use a text box, one might have to decipher what option to choose from which can be a challenge for younger students. Text Box offers a heading, subheading, and little body of text options which could challenge younger students to know what to do.
Overall, Canva is a great source for teachers, middle or high school students. It offers a creative way to give out information. Technology is therefore another aspect in our classroom by using a tool such as Canva. A lesson that a teacher could do is the steps of the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly or a cooking recipe to complete with his or her students. I would use Canva in my classroom as another tool to keep my students engaged in the lesson. Canva displays information in a colorful and creative way that can catch the eye of your students. I will definitely be using this tool in my future classroom!

Digital Citizenship
Digital Citizenship is the way to navigate and explore the internet to become media literate. The five ethical issues are identity, participation, ownership, trustworthiness, and participation. My Digital Citizenship in my personal life helps me to be able to connect and share with family that lives in California and Colorado through social media. As a professional standpoint, my digital citizenship must be clean and no convey any bad reputations or rumors about me. I have to watch out that my online identity, following the five ethical issues, is not a unprofessional representation of me. Becoming a future educator, I have to always be careful about posting or sharing photos or videos online. If a school district does not like something that I posted online, I might not get that interview. Sarah from"Everyone-Think Before You Post" video demonstrated how whatever you post everyone can have access to that information. This video represented that what you post can hurt you when you are looking in the job market. Unlike, Sarah's behavior and reputation from the "Everyone-Think Before You Post" video, I can not post things that will ruin my reputation as trying to get hired as an educator.
The Digital Dossier shows are participation in digital citizenship without our total knowledge of knowing that it is going on. Apparently, we start building our Digital Dossier even before we are born. For example, we could post pictures of our new baby boy: Bob. People come to meet the new baby and post pictures on various online medias. The new child leaves a digital path as he grows up. Eventually, Bob gets married and then has his wife's digital citizenship attached to his name now and the cycle just continues. Overall, we never know where are digital footprint lies on the unlimited internet world. On that note, one must be very careful on what he or she is posting.
According to 11 Facts About Cyber Bullying, "70% of students report seeing frequent bullying online". This statistic is a very unfortunate fact about how we treat people with our Digital Citizenship. Luckily, I have never experienced cyber bullying even though I have social media accounts. Some advice for avoiding the issue is to just be respectful to others around you. Trust your friends to not post embarrassing videos or photos of you. Some parents and adults might look back on all of the negativity of Digital Citizenship and not want future generation to experience the bullying that he or she went through. A participatory culture is when people are the consumers and the producers. From the usage of technology, makes our culture follow the participatory trends.To conclude, treat others the way you want to be treated.

TPACK Post
This week in Principles of Instructional Technologies, I learned all about TPACK. The word TPACK means Technology, Pedagogy, and Content Knowledge and HOW, WHEN, and WHY to follow this method. TPACK is a way for teachers to make learning accessible to children around the globe. Teachers can also use the three different ideas interchangeably. For example, PCK is Pedagogy Content Knowledge which informs the best methods for teachers to use in his or her own content areas. TCK meaning Technology Content Knowledge means the mastering of subject matters through the use of technology in the classroom.
According to Nada Abisamra, "Technology integration is the " 'pervasive and productive use of educational technologies for purposes of curriculum-based learning and teaching' ". Nada explained in her article that teachers have trouble adjusting to using technology and pedagogy together because they did not grow up using technology in the degree that kids today are experiencing. Also some teachers do not have the expertise to incorporate technology into classroom settings.
Referencing back to the TPACK 101 video, there are three different ways that TPACK can benefit in your teaching style. The first ways is TPACK teaches you the different domains of teaching so you can develop in those areas. Secondly, TPACK enables you to communicate and collaborate with teachers. Lastly, this method provides a set of lens to view technology integration and determine the effectiveness. I think TPACK is a great way to incorporate all aspects of our teaching into three simple categories. I will for sure remember to use this thinking ideology in my future classroom.
Here is a helpful article by Nada Abisamra explaining how teachers use TPACK http://www.nadasisland.com/tpack/#benefit .

Speak Pipe
Hello! Today I learned a great new audio tool, called Speak Pipe. Speak Pipe offers free audio recording for all devices, such as iPads, iPhones, iPods, and androids devices. Basically, to make an audio file you make a free account then start recording. Speak Pipe can save your records and give links of them. My first recording that I decided to do was read a childhood story "Hiss Howl Hoot". One recommendation that I suggest is to use this website through Google Chrome instead of Safari because then you will not have to download adobe flash player.
A future educator can incorporate Speak Pipe into his or her classroom by using this tool for students to listen to the teacher reading a story. You could break up the classroom into different groups and have a listening table station of you reading a story to the students. Speak Pipe can also be a way to show a child's progression throughout the year. You could record a student reading a book in the beginning of the year and then at the end and see how they have progressed throughout the school year.
Speak Pipe would be a great addition in the classroom because this tool is easy to use. Elementary teachers could incorporate this into their classroom by teaching all of the students to press the record button and then save it. I think students would like this tool because it is so simple and children love using technology. A way that it could be challenging is wether or not the students would create their free accounts or just have a "classroom account" with a universal username and password. Another challenge would be to make students accessed Speak Pipe only through Google Chrome as opposed to Safari. Speak Pipe is definitely going to be a tool that I will incorporate into my future classroom.

Open Classroom
Education: The openness to share
As future educators, we connect our classroom in various ways through sharing and blogging about new discoveries in education! We can connect our community through open, networking, and participatory ideas by giving everyone an opportunity and access to learn. Some children are not fortunate enough to have access to knowledge in a classroom setting, but with educators sharing their lesson plans and projects we give everyone the opportunity to succeed. An open classroom means a classroom that can be shared, remixed, and learned by the resources that are in a given classroom! As we continue to grow into the future, I feel like this will benefit students across the globe by being able to access and connect to other classroom and or textbooks. So reuse, redistribute, remix, and revise your resources to give others a chance to access knowledge!

Haiku Deck
Good Evening!
Today I learned about a new cool tool called Haiku Deck!! This website is similar to the setup of powerpoint or google docs. Overall, I would recommend Haiku Deck for educators or students from 7-12th grade because the website was confusing on how to work the application. I feel like the website gears towards a fantastic resource for teachers. So go check it out!

I never would have thought that posting and sharing information in a blog would be so beneficial to me and other educators! I feel like the best time to learn about when to share an idea is if if your lesson was a success then blog about your ideas and pass the excellence to other educators. Also I feel like if their is a lesson that you really liked, but did not want to share to the whole world then it is fine to keep to yourself! Educators always want to feel like they can be the best teachers out there!
I think if someone does not want to share through a blog then it is still very beneficial to do that face to face. Passing knowledge can be expressed in many different ways!! The best way to accept other community members comments is to accept that we all teach with different styles and ideas so be open to other perspectives in the field. When writing in a blog, I feel like it should be professional formal writing because we are all educators trying to share positive ideas and thoughts regarding kids in our field.

Had a blast learning about how an educator can apply math with taking pictures yesterday! The tool that I have decided to use to create a picture college of all of the interesting photographs that I took was through LiveCollage. This app features tools that can edit and view pictures and videos, while also having different themes to create postcards! I think using LiveCollage would be very beneficial to use in a classroom setting because it allows a child to be creative and open with photography. One way that I would incorporate this tool into my future classroom is creating a lesson where the students would go out and explore nature and take different pictures then make a collage with his or her cool findings.
Students could use the LiveCollage app to show his or her work to parents. LiveCollage makes the app easy to use because all of your collages are saved under your photo library on your device. The only thing challenging about this app is that it is easier to use depending on the class age range. I think using LiveCollage is a good way to show kids how to use a device through photography!!
For more information on this cool app just head to the App Store and download it for free today!!
