In class this week we talked about designing media that is used for instructional means. The PowerPoint presentation about designing media discussed how to make the media that you create attractive, yet effective. As well, we learned about hypermedia and multimedia, including definitions, the difference between the two, and examples of them. There was also a PowerPoint that provided more depth about them and Web Based Resources. An activity that we had to complete this week was about information literacy, which basically means knowing how to find information on a website and determine if it is a legitimate site or not. The last, but probably most significant, thing we talked about was copyright issues and issues surrounding educational technology. This section explains the complications that accompany teaching technology in the classroom.
There is definitely a use for this with my major because when I teach it will be helpful to know how to make a presentation more effective. As our world is growing in technology, we have to teach our children these new technologies. This means it is mostly put on teachers to make sure that students become literate with computers, the internet, and other devices. Plus, teaching students that copyright laws are in place is very important so that students know how to produce a paper without infringing on those laws or plagiarizing. It is also good for teachers to know about technologies in the classroom and how do know what is too much and not enough. This shows that this pertains to my major for sure being an Elementary Education major.
Top Ten Myths About Copyright
I decided to use this website because it was awesome that there were direct quotes that people say about copyright that is not true. Plus, Brad Templeton, who wrote the page, used factual support to back up his answers for the myths. This is a quick way to answer your questions about copyright if you are not sure about what is copyrighted, when to post certain works, and more. I thought it was really useful for me personally.
