    This article discusses the role that computers play in the school and in children's social, emotional, and physical development. Technology is on the rise and as the year's progress, computers are being provided for students in the classroom. The question is does using technology in school raise students achievement. For the younger students computers were most effective on student learning when the teacher would use them for high thinking skills. Computers used in 12th grade history reported the more that students used computers outside the classroom their performances were higher on test scores. This study suggests that schools that provide technology applications should provide training for students to use these applications. In conjunction, schools should provide basic computer skills for students so that they can improve in their content areas.

    I like the idea of providing technology training to students. It amazes me how many of my students don't have basic computer skills. I usually spend a lot of time just teaching them how to use a program.

      This paragraph makes the Fair use policy seem ridiculous. What do you think?
  • "But I do think many have the impression that any use of material in education is fair use."
  • Fair use in the classroom is often dependent on the subject matter of the content. Ensign says a teacher may not be allowed to show the film The Lion King to the class simply because it was raining and the kids were squirrelly. It could be shown only if the class were doing a study of Disney films or were engaged in the study of a related subject.

    This site gives a very opinionated presentation of a few of the Copyright and Fair Use laws. This is still very interesting!

    I agree with the article's main point, that it IS a teacher's responsibility to know, apply, and teach the copyright and fair use rules. I ALSO agree with you, that the rules and policies make performing the job nearly impossible! I feel the pain, personally. In my classrooms, I am sometimes at a loss (and sometimes just bluff my way through it!) on how to explain to a confused student what to do in regards to using a copywritten resource or how to cite a unique source. Thankflly, I have come across a really helpful weapon in the battle against confusion--an e-graphic organizer of sorts compiled by the UT librarians, and available for open use on their website: http://lib.utexas.edu/citations

    I realized after reading that article, that I am guilty of copyright.....It's almost like they knew that we watched Toy Story the other day when it was raining, and it was almost time for 5:00 drive-thru.
