As a teacher, I would deal with concepts by making sure (age-appropriate) students are aware of the definitions and importance of copyright and fair use. When having students create assignments, I would make sure they use the term “public domain” in their searches for images. I definitely learned a lot about this topic. For instance, I thought legal parameters of copyright infringement would be more exact, but it seems that it is based on the opinion of each judge. 

    The technology implementation issue I chose was cyberbullying. To combat this issue in my classroom, I would use multiple solutions. I would make sure students are aware of the effects and consequences cyberbullying can have on other students. I would get parents involved if need be and have check-ins with students to make sure they are using the technology correctly and feel safe with me to let me know if they are being affected.

    I think generative AI is doing a bit of both of helping and hurting student learning. I think it helps get ideas going if a student isn’t sure where to start on an assignment. However, it does make it easier for students to go too far and use it to commit academic dishonesty. This is why it is crucial for educators to be aware of generative AI in classrooms.

    I learned a lot from the Newsletter Design assignment. This was the first assignment I’ve done like this so it was fun to test my skills with it. If I could improve it, I would have been more creative and fun with the designs. I can definitely use these technical skills in my career on future digital medias.
