Wow, I never knew how many different rules existed for using technology. There are so many different resources, but we as teachers have to make sure we use them properly. I already knew they were a bad idea, but as teachers we definitely cannot use pirated videos, music, etc. When it comes to some things though there are exceptions (like when all of my scantron sheets get wet). Everything I use as a teacher needs to be both acquired legally and used legally. And I need to sight my sources! The sighting doesn’t end, even when college is over...Also, something that I didn’t know about videos in the classroom was that they cannot be used as rewards or incentives without acquiring the proper permission and probably paying a fee. Dear Disney...

When we discussed Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge, I learned about so many available resources to supplement my teaching that I never even dreamed of. I loved using the digital thermometers in class with the pro logger program, and exploring what the moon and various constellations looked like the day I was born with the Stellarium program. There’s so many things out there that did not exist when I was a child, I realize from this class just how important it is to stay up to date with today’s technology for the classroom.
