I see copyright as a way for a person to protect their property so someone else can't take credit for their work. In my eyes, fair use is being able to use something that is copyrighted as long as it passes the following standards: the purpose/character is educational, transformative, the nature of the work is factual, the amount of work is only a little, and the effect it can have when published will not harm the original creator of the copyrighted work. When dealing with these regulations, I will make sure to see what I can and cannot use in my classroom. I will also inform my students to make sure they understand the regulations as well.
An issue I see in the classroom and in myself is decreased productivity. A solution to this issue is to remind the student why their education is important and why it is crucial they try their best in all their submitted work. Another issue I've seen in the classroom is academic dishonesty. A solution to this can be to study properly to ensure the student knows the material well and to think about the effect it can have on the student if they are punished for it (academic probation).
When I was working on the newsletter assignment, I realized that making a newsletter takes a lot more work than one realizes. To improve my newsletter for the future, I will try to spend less time to make it but keep the quality of work because I feel like I spent a long time working on it. To be a more efficient teacher, I can learn how to use Word more effectively and spend less time on working on a newsletter. In my future career, I will be able to use Word to make a creative design for wherever I work. I think this will be useful because if I need to make a flyer or announcement on paper for my job, I will be able to do it!

Hey Brianna, I really liked how you described both copyright and fair use. The way that you explained the standards of fair use is perfect for someone who doesn't exactly understand what it is. Good Job !
