Third Post

As a student, I'm always using Microsoft Word to type papers for my classes. It's just the perfect software to use for papers especially in college considering that everything in college are done by computer. My teachers use Microsoft Word for class syllabus. They use them to create test, quizzes, study guides and anything else in that nature.

My experience with copyright is that whenever I use something from an author or book or anything I make sure to not forget to mention or show who wrote or created something that I used. My experience with fair use is maybe when I say something from an author in a discussion or reword what an author says. The CIPA (Children's Internet Protection Act) monitor student use of the Internet and to implement technology protection measures, mandates the development of an Internet safety plan that addresses the unauthorized disclosure. Another one is The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act which was passed because of complaints from children having to give out too much information to websites. As a teacher I will always make sure that they're not posting anything that they will regret later in the future online from school computers. As a teacher I will make sure my students are online safe. Come up with a plan, set rules to try to make being online go smooth.

I really didn't gain any new experience from last week assignment because I'm familiar with Microsoft Words. I don't like the fact that I forgot to put a page break in the assignment. I can improve it by making sure to use appropriate page breaks and maybe using questions with graphics instead of matching questions to make the test look more interesting instead of bland.
