HEYOOOO!!! Paola's in the house!!! Can I get an OWA OWA!!!
Ok stop... note to self: try to be less cringey. Got it. Moving swiftly along...
Today I will legitimately try to not right as much. I just get so carried away with myself and I start babbling like there'd be no tomorrow and I have to just vomit out every single thought that's living rent-free in my brain. But that's not the case because we will have tomorrow, and we will certainly have many more blog posts... so from now on I'll try my best to space out my babbling in a progressive manner that might be a bit less annoying. Thoughts? Yes. I completely agree. Glad we're on the same page... but one thing you should know about me is that I'm really good at breaking the promises that should be broken. I failed. I'm babbling. UGH JUST LET ME BABBLE!
On a more serious note... COPYRIGHT! Now what is it exactly? Well to put it simple it's kind of like this permission slip that safeguards people's work and allows you to use it if you'd like. For example... music! I were to post an adorable montage of myself on YouTube with a One Direction Song playing in the background... it'd be taken down because I don't have the rights to that song, I don't have a permission slip! Unless Harry Styles were to single-handedly tell me I could use it (which is never bound to happen not even in a different universe), ya can't take what's not yours to take! Fair use on the other hand is like a makeshift permission slip! It's like if I were to accidentally lose a bathroom pass at school (which has happened to me plenty of times might I add) and you had to scurry and make another one, and the teacher would know you did, but she'd still accept it because it won't do no harm! If I were a teacher honestly I'd just stick to original work... it's awesome to feel heavily inspired by artists to the point where you'd want to almost follow into their footsteps and be just like them... but you also need to grow on your own and find yourself as an individual that will allow you to create work that seems similar to those of others... there's only one Harry Styles in this world... nobody else can be him!
Cyberbullying jeez... such a touchy subject, but then again, not touched upon enough. To say the least it is incredibly dangerous and harmful. The internet is such a privilege, but if put into the wrong hands, it could be so misused. I think I'm quite old school, and I'd like to think I'd be a more kind of hands-on, present, no technology teacher, but there are times where it is required... and in my classroom at least, I'd implement specific rules for the HOMEWORK ONLY apps we'd use... such as Edmodo etc. As for Decreased productivity, from a straight- A student's perspective who feels like she's been out of it for an entire year, thanks to be good friend Corona... I think it's important to make a class feel fun, interact with your students, joke a little in class, but teach them well, allude things in class to things in life that will worth be remembering, give anecdotes, be fun! I wouldn't sit there and read out of a book the whole class and give my students I five-page essay assignment on what I discussed on in class. I'd encourage them to listen because my class would be fun! I'd give fun pop quizzes! Etc!
I have to be as quick as possible because I have a lot to do and little time left aghhh! Honestly the newsletter project helped me adapt to Word a lot more even though I already thought I was which is funny... I learned how to use tools that I never even knew how to use or never even touched in my many years of using it. I had never used columns before... THAT IS CRAZY!!! It definitely was a great project to further fortify my skills in Word as it is a tool I use everyday and will be using even more often! And the project was fun! Yay!
OK BYE!!
