When it comes to copyright and fair use in the classroom, I don't believe there should be that big of a band. I always believe that Teacher should help each other out which will lead to even better teachers. So when I become a teacher, I will not be putting any copyright restrictions on any of my materials because I really believe that teachers should be able to have access to any materials to help their students. Also, I really thought copyright it had a lot more strict rules to it and that you would have to go through a very special process to get a copyright on your materials, but it turns out that's not true. I learned that copyright is very simple and straightforward. You can get your copyright license very easily.

My solution to academic dishonesty in the classroom comes in with the help of AI detectors. Every single assignment that is submitted be online where that comes to essays in classwork. I would use AI detectors to determine if that student used AI and if so, they would receive punishment for that choice. But I would also provide as many materials for my students and even provide my own personal time to help them throughout getting their assignments done so they will not automatically go to AI or other sources for academic dishonesty. I would also try to find websites that would check if any other sources were used in the creation of the students work. I also would reinforce the idea of choosing to use other people's work or AI to complete an assignment rather than doing it yourself would really affect how they would succeed in my class. I always believe if you don't put in the Work then you won't be able to pass when a test comes.

Doing the newsletter taught me many skills. I never learned before when it comes to word. I have never used word before until I use it in that class so I really got to see all the feature that word has to offer. Some skills that I was able to learn was how to make shapes how to do the footnotes had to add page numbers and how to change the type of fonts. I really got to go into depth on how this whole system is laid out and I learned how to insert photos from outside of word. Also, a very difficult still that took me a while to learn was how to save the PDF properly and save a regular word document form. These skills that I had from doing this newsletter well first of all affect me academically because now I feel like I can actually use for my regular classes but when it comes to my future career, I can use word as a reliable resource now. Before I would only rely on Google and now I can have another way to create documents.
