Copyright is the legal right for any originator or assignee to distribute literary, musical, or artistic material and to allow others to do the same. Fair use allows people to use small portions of a work for certain purposes such as commentary, critiquing, news reporting, or in a scholastic setting. In teaching, I would make it clear to students what the copyright laws are and that plagiarism will not be tolerated in the classroom. If it were to happen, further investigation would need to be done to determine if it was purposeful or accidental. In the case of purposeful plagiarism, consequences to the grade would happen.  Academic dishonesty can and will happen in the classroom.

My strongest skills are based in reading and writing, and I am hoping that my major in editing, writing, and media and my minor in education will provide me with a stable foundation in obtaining a teaching job post graduation. My favorite kinds of books to read are mystery novels, but I do enjoy an occasional nonfiction biography/autobiography.  Throughout my primary education (K-12), I was constantly exposed to different types of technology in regard to education.

As I neared the end of my primary school education, mainly my four years in high school, the use of a personal laptop grew significantly. At the end of my senior year, everything was moved online due to the COVID 19 pandemic....
