Journal 1 A classroom situation in which technology helped me learn was in my ISTC 201 class, which I took last semester. I entered the class only knowing it was a requirement I had to take for my major. I ended up learning a lot about the advancements in technology that can be used in a teaching environment. An assignment we were told to complete as our final grade was to make a website linking all of our assignments throughout the semester. We were told to use applications I have never used, nor seen before. This was a useful assignment because I learned how to make an e-portfolio, which I will be able to use in the future.

Journal 2 - Your experience with technology vs. the ideal I enjoyed learning about and working with the levels of technology integration. I found it enjoyable because I got to learn how to integrate new technology and got a better understanding in ways to use technology. I have also learned that most of my professors are only at level 1 on the LoTi scale. This is my professors do not integrate technology into the assignments, and their class rooms only have one computer in them, which they use to show power points and videos relating to the lesson. My teaching philosophy is that every student will understand what they are learning at all times. My students will learn to integrate technology into their assignments. I think using technology in the class room is very important because it is the future of classrooms. Students learn best when they are learning hands on, other then just being talked to. If a student is learning in a fun way, they will remember the material.

Journal 3  Some web 2.0 tools that i use on a daily basis include social networking, e-mail, and blackboard. These websites are pretty much the only websites I go on when I'm online. They keep me updated with my friends, family. school, and work. The social networking web sites I use include facebook.com and twitter.com. These websites keep me updated with my friends from home that I don't get to see often because of college. Also, I love twitter, I enjoy knowing what people are doing, and I am updated on when my favorite stores are having sales, and promotions. E-mail is so important to me. This is how I communicate with my professors and classmates. Blackboard keeps me organized with my school work and makes it very easy for me to find out my grades. A web 2.0 tool that I am interested in using would be in my class room would be wiki pages. This is a great way for students to do group projects. It is also a great way to stay organized. I see technology being the center of education in 5 to 10 years. If i child is sick and is unable to attend school, I believe in the future children will be able to attend class via online. Technology is becoming more and more of a necessity and the advancements are endless.

Journal 4 After reviewing the articles, I learned a lot about copy writing and fair use. I always believed if you were to give the author credit for their work, plagiarism would not be an issue. Here are two articles that I am unfamiliar with. Not a fair use. A television news program copied one minute and 15 seconds from a 72-minute Charlie Chaplin film and used it in a news report about Chaplin's death - I would have thought that because they were using a program that people have already seen, it would be okay for the news to show this clip.  Fair use. The artist, Jeff Koons, used portions of a fashion photo - a woman's legs in Gucci sandals - in a painting, "Niagara." The painting included a montage of popular culture images spread over a Dali-like landscape. -I would have assumed that this would not be fair use, because I would think that the artist Jeff Koons would have to give credit to Gucci, the model in the picture, and the photographer that took it in order to put it into his artwork.

Here are two articles that I am familiar with. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> Not a fair use. Downloading songs is not a fair use. A woman was sued for copyright infringement for downloading 30 songs using peer-to-peer file sharing software. She argued that her activity was a fair use because she was downloading the songs to determine if she wanted to later buy them. -I am aware that downloading music is a illegal, but it is very easy to do. If it is a very big deal, I believe it should be harder to do. There are many websites, and downloads available. Not a fair use. A karaoke manufacturer paid a compulsory license fee for the right to reproduce musical compositions on its machines. The music publisher requested an additional fee for the right to reproduce the lyrics on the karaoke video monitor. The manufacturer refused to pay additional fees and claimed that it had a fair use right to reproduce the lyrics

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">- This is obviously unfair use, the manufacturer refused to pay, therefore it is not legally being used.
