Copyright focuses on the owner of the material being the only person that can distribute, sell, or copy the material while fair use focuses on being able to use or copy the said material for specific purposes without having to pay for it such as reviewing or criticizing the material. As a teacher, I would try my best to create all of my own material and if I can't, then I will follow the necessary steps to make sure that the material that I am using is being used for the correct purpose.

 Hello! My name is Veep. I'm a senior at Florida State University that will be majoring in Sociology with a minor in education. Some hobbies that I partake in during my free time are longboarding, painting, drawing, writing poems, and playing video games. I am always open to learning new things that will give me a different perspective on life since knowledge is neverending.  When it comes to technology in an educational setting, I had experience with being given tablets and laptops at school. These served multiple purposes such as researching information and providing me a source of information that I didn't have at home for a while and thus made learning throughout my high school career a simpler task than before I had access to these tools. Within the classroom, we had access to a smartboard that we would use for videos, interactive learning, and easier showing of the material. It was through these tools that I was able to understand large amounts of knowledge in an easier ...
