When someone makes a work of art or publishes something, they do so with the intention that others will enjoy that work. Though there are times when that kindness is abused. The abuse that happens includes illegal downloads and streaming. Copyrighting gives a creator exclusive rights to what is published by the creator. It promotes fair use and openness amongst users. As a teacher dealing with these concepts can be quite challenging and fun. By giving students simple easy technology-based assignments will help facilitate creativity. 

Technology implementation issues that I believe I can provide solutions for include academic dishonesty and student privacy. Dishonesty can easily be addressed through the difficulty of assignments and the strength of the lessons provided. If assignments are clear and lessons are effective children can learn to retain information at a higher rate. Student privacy can be addressed by making assignments more transparent like using class discussions where the entire class can participate.

Creating a newsletter was quite difficult to navigate. Understanding the different layouts and elements they require and how to include them to be creative was very new to me. Structure and organization have always been difficult for me and completing this newspaper assignment helped improve my creativity. To improve my newsletter in the future I think it would be beneficial to add more information to it. I can use the skills learned to create different artistic designs for my future students and to teach them how to create their own.
