Week 4 Copyright Law, Plagarism, and Ethical Issues

This week we learned about how to use technology effectively for teaching purposes. The first presentation taught us how to properly broadcast information on tools such as a power point. The four key guidelines given were contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity. In the second presentation we learned about using multimedia and hypermedia and the advantages and disadvantages of using either. From outside links, we learned how to tell if a web site is legitimate and has factual information.

Learning how to tell if a website has factual or trusted information will be very useful as an elementary education major. When I get into the teaching field and my students are trying to research material it can be hard to find websites with accurate information. With the information given today, by being able to better understand the URL, I can more easily determine which of these websites are valid.

The following article, "Hypermedia in the Classroom: A Developmental Handbook for Teachers," is an article telling teachers how to implement hypermedia into a classroom. I found it using the Google search engine. Click here to read the article
