   Hello everyone,

    Copyright is a very common thing in the world now with the advancements of technology over the years and many people have started to adapt to it. Copyright is using someone else's work for your own gain without giving the creator credit or getting permission in advance. It is a very extensive thing and as a teacher i would deal with these things by teaching the importance of it to the students beforehand. Fair use is a thing almost like copyright except you are able to use small bits of the creators work without permission. You are only able to use it in certain situations. For example, you can use maybe a 2-3 second excerpt from a song or article and not need permission. 

    Technology can lead to a lot of things and one is decreased productivity and that because, once someone picks up their phone or any bit of technology they can get zoned out and stay on it for hours on end. This makes it to where they don't get much done through the day and may fall behind. Also. academic dishonesty, where the student uses resources on the internet or personal notes and cheats on an assignment. This shows the student does not care or isn't trying to learn like they should be in order to complete the assignment on their own. With the adaption of online classes this is more frequent now in school.

    While working on my newsletter I gained a few new skills on Microsoft Word. Mostly the creative aspect because I only usually use word for essays and not really art. Doing the newsletter has taught me the many thing you can do on word to create things and get an informational document that looks nice and presentable. These skills can be sued in the future if I ever need to create something artistic on word i have gathered the skills in order to do that on this assignment.
