 Copyright is defined as the right of a creator to control the use of his or her own work. While fair use is the certain exception of legally using copyright material without permission. The information in copyright usage is very important for both teachers and students so that they are aware of what can or cannot be acceptable in a classroom. As a teacher, I would explain to my students what plagiarism is and educate them to avoid it at all cost. Moreover, I would use images and make it as clear as possible the academic violation of copyright. I think it is very important to educate students on the violation of copyright so that they don't use other people's work as their own. 

With the advances in technology, it is very easy for students to access other people's work and use them as their own. This is known as Academic Dishonesty and it is imperative that students learn to avoid this as much as possible. As a teacher, I would encourage my students to use the proper resources for their material and cite other people's work. I think it is very important for students to be taught how to properly cite other people's work. Moreover, I would implement Academic Dishonesty in my classroom policy so that they are aware of the consequences that may impact their grade. When it comes to technology usage there are major issues like cyberbullying. The issues of cyberbullying are widespread among schools and children can be mean online. I would educate my students on the issue of cyberbullying and promote an environment where children can learn to work together and spread positivity even virtually. 

Working on the Newsletter design was very interesting and fun as well. This was my first time designing a newsletter and at first, I found it a bit challenging to make it visually appealing and creative. I learned how to add texts and graphics. In the future, I could improve my newsletter to make the color scheme match more and improve my articles. In my future career, I would consider making a newsletter as I think it would be a creative way to implement my ideas for my class.
