  As a teacher, I would prioritize following copyright laws and understanding fair use. To establish an early knowledge of the protection of intellectual property, I would encourage my younger students, such as second graders, to make their works handwritten. While developing my teaching resources, I would make an effort to use resources that have been obtained legally and follow proper citation standards. To make it easier for students to work, I would provide lessons on the principles of fair use and assist them in properly crediting sources. 

    Lack of funding for public schools is an ongoing issue that has a major effect on the introduction of technology to schools. One potential strategy to address the problem would be to engage in collaborations with nearby businesses or communities. This could help obtain donations or sponsorships for technological resources. Also, teachers could look into free programs and educational technology tools that are accessible without the need for expensive licenses. 

    Implementing generative AI, like ChatGPT, into educational settings poses both advantages and disadvantages. On one hand, it can improve student learning by allowing quick access to knowledge. On the other hand, excessive usage could hinder critical thinking abilities. Using generative AI as an additional tool, rather than a main source, could be advantageous. 

    The Newsletter Design assignment improved my skills in Microsoft applications, especially Word. To improve other projects through Word, I can focus on improving the project to get a more visually appealing result. These skills will be essential in my future job, regardless of whether I choose education or any other field. They will enable me to present information in a visually captivating and engaging way.
