1. Being aware of the “fair use” policy is important, which means citing the authors and only utilizing a limited amount/excerpt of the work, for classroom purposes. There shouldn't be much of a problem with copyrights if students create their own original works, since it won’t have any lasting effect on the creative market, being of recreational use. I do wonder if usage of educational videos on youtube can be considered copyright.



2. Academic dishonesty is always going to be a prevalent problem in many schools, no matter it. This type of problem can happen in many ways, including plagiarism, cheating on exams and taking advantage of technological resources(an issue growing at an alarming rate). Plagiarism is now quite easy to catch with apps like turnitin.com or grammarly. Cheating via technology, however, is still difficult to tackle, especially with the growing presence of AI. In his article, Keith Thomas states that reducing this form of cheating could be done through building a “relevant and inclusive” classroom which presents students with helpful, applicable material as opposed to “busy work”. Students also need to have a thorough understanding of class expectations and the consequences of cheating(honor code), which may be irreversible.

  Looking through the syllabus, there seems to be a lot of practical usage of technology in conjunction with classroom teaching. It includes elements of design, presentation and interactivity which are all important assets in 21st century instruction. I mainly hope to explore new ways I could interact with my class via technology, in a concise and accessible manner. With the class schedule and syllabus online, students will have much less confusion navigating through the course material. Starting in middle school, I was encouraged to use technology in the classroom in order to gain more access to different forms of information. In 7th grade, I used blogger.com to keep a portfolio of all my written work including essays and reviews. I was fortunate enough to have my blog showcased at a school event to many school visitors.  Since I am a music major, my professional network is tied closely to the music community. I visit many sites which are related to music composition since th...

  I’ve discovered a few new things about web design features including inserting a calendar and pdf document into the slide. I’ve also found ways to make the site more interactive using social icons, as well as relevant images.  I like Weebly for its easy navigation and the many custom features it provides, differing from WIX quite a bit. The most important thing I dislike about this program is the fact that I can’t verify myself to get in.   There are many ways a teacher could use a QR code including for access to class content, contact information or activities. A lot of teachers tend to use QR codes for activities like kahoot or quizizz, so students can have an easier time joining.   https://fsu.padlet.org/ik23/eme2040-generative-ai-cases-idam-kim-s0efwkvgnifw90rg/wish/lkROZPk598v3QjMg Chatgpt ironically gives a good guide to ethical use of AI and technology, both for students and teachers. In regards to teaching music, It touches upon points such as copyrigh...
