Module+3+Reflection

==// __Reflection for Module 3:__ //**// Reflect on what you plan to do to address the equity and ethics issues when applying technologies. You may share with us about what you have been doing by addressing these aspects and what you will change after learning in this module. //**==

Description: For this module, we were to look at the equity and ethical issues using technology within our classrooms.

Impact: After reading about the equity and ethical issues pertaining to technology in the classroom, I realized that I am not following all of the laws, especially when it comes to copyright. It's easy, as a teacher, to find something you like and just copy it and use it in your classroom, without even thinking about the ethical legalities of it. I know many teachers who copy anything they find, and even whiteout parts on a document that say it's not for multiple copies. I think, as teachers, we need to be respectful of these laws and be teaching this to our students as well.

Intent: I plan on using the knowledge that I've gained in this module, and relaying it back to the faculty in my building. I've recently started a monthly technology newsletter in my building, and I think this is an area that needs to be addressed. I also want to continue teaching my students about trustworthy websites and copyright laws, as well as safe ways to use technology. The students today will be working in a technological world and need to know how to use technology correctly and appropriately.
