                                                                 Copyright and Fair Use In terms of copyright and fair use, these concepts are vital to understanding how we as educators can appropriately use technology and resources within our classroom. Copyright would be best described as the rights one possesses to material. In terms of education, we can see this most frequently in one's rights to art, music, and writing. A copyright can limit the amount of people who can use and print these resources. Fair use can best be described as the exceptions to Copyright, or the circumstances which one is able to use copywritten material. This can be in the classroom, in research, and for criticism, along with other instances. As a teacher I would develop my own instructional materials in order to best fit my students, if other teachers wanted to use my material, I would most likely let them without feeling the need to go through a copyright process.

  In terms of my experience with Microsoft Word, I have been certified in the application before, but this was back in middle school. I still have basic knowledge of Microsoft Word; however, I feel like I have lost my proficiency in it overtime.

I have used Google Docs to collaborate on certain topics, as other people can access it easily and always see an updated version of the document, whereas Word documents are not easily accessible to others. I find that word works better for individual topics. The ISTE Standards for Educators would include the concepts of being a learner, a leader, a citizen, a collaborator, a designer, a facilitator, and an analyst.

 Madisson Hunley- 2040 EME Blog, Spring 2022                 Hi there! My name is Madisson Hunley, and I am a second semester Sophomore at Florida State University, currently pursuing Elementary Education. I am originally from Orlando, Florida, however I have spent most of my life in the Tampa area. Through living in Tallahassee the past year and a half, I have been able to take up new hobbies like rock climbing and camping, which has given me the opportunity to meet new people and have amazing experiences I would not have otherwise not been able to have. Something interesting about me would be that I love tattoos, and I plan on adding to my collection this year.                In terms of my prior experiences using technology in the classroom, I would say that I have had the opportunity to experience a great bit of technology both by choice and through the instruction of my teachers. Being a class of 2020 student, my senior year was basically cut in half due to the pandemic, which for
