As a teacher developing my own instructional materials, I would make sure that if there is any doubt about the material I am planning on using, I would first ask permission from the owner to prevent issues with copyright. When it comes to materials that fall under fair use, I would still ask the owner to be sure, but I would also look for material that falls under the fair use agreements such as being only for educational, non commercial environments. When students are ready to create their own works, I would do my best to inform them about copyright and fair use procedures to prevent any issues. Most of this information isn't very new to me as I have had a class in the past that covered this but it was interesting to see it again in a more educational setting.
There can be a lot of issues with technology implementation but when it comes to student privacy, a lot of the issues are due to poor upkeep or awareness of technology. A general solution for a lot of technological privacy issues is being better educated about technology. Students will commonly and unknowingly share a lot of personal information. Providing a mandatory course on technological safety that extends to privacy security could be very helpful.
When working on the Newsletter Design assignment, I learned a lot of new skills, a lot of which that I've seen before but never learned how to do on my own. I learned how to create my own margins as well as numbering my pages and creating my own banner. I can use these skills in the future to design my own informational pamphlets whether that be for teaching or general workplace activities. It's always helpful to be able to better organize and hand out information.
