If I was teaching a 3rd grade social studies class, I would definitely use technology when creating a lesson plan. If the subject matter being taught was the history of America, I could use Inspiration to create a colorful and animated time-line. This would be very useful when teaching this material to young children who may find it boring. I could also use a PowerPoint presentation to display notes and photographs from the time period.
I looked at www.cnn.com at compared it to the rules for a website in chapter 6. Overall, this website is visually pleasing. I first noticed how the type styles were limited, the font was mostly the same except for a few color changes. The site is also very interactive, there are many links that lead to breaking news stories. There are also several pictures to catch the readers eye. This website also used bold lettering to provide emphasis on the links to news stories.
My experience with copyright and fair use in the education system comes mostly from plagiarism . My English teachers in high school constantly reminded students of and enforced the "honor code", where we promised that our work being turned in was our own. As a teacher, I would make sure that my presentations and other materials used for teaching apply as fair use. For example, copying and using paragraphs of a story rather than a whole chapter, and only using this information temporarily. I would also try to explain these concepts to my students so they can maintain honesty when creating their own works.
