This is an article written by Mary Anne Hess about the Pros of differentiated instruction. This Article reviews the benefits of differentiated instruction and how to effectively implement it.
In this article, Lawrence Lessing, a professor of law at the Harvard law school looks at how the idea of copyright has evolved over the past century and implicates much copyright issues attributed to advancement in technology, particularly the internet. He suggests changing the law on how copyrighting is viewed and points out copyrighting laws must evolve as the digital age we live in keeps evolving.
As a history teacher, I love how Professor Lessing connects something like copyright law to the Constitution, and weaves us through the decades and centuries of change and development. I am always looking for ways to connect history, such as the passages and amendments of the Constitution, to areas that affect my students' daily lives. Copyright law is just such a thing for these kids, with all the electronics, technologies, and downloading they do. They will see the relevance immediately, and therefore focus better and and up learning more!
A Teaching blogger's dream is about to begin. Someone once said that until something is shared it is just and idea that no one cares about. Blogging in Education is really getting popular now. Many teachers now have their own blog.

It is important with the blog to follow fair use and the following article shows how to do that:

It would seem that fair use is including information with apa citations, not too much information
and credit. But the jury is still out on this.
Examples of fair use of copyrighted materials include quotation of excerpts in a
review or critique, or copying of a small part of a work by a teacher or student
to illustrate a lesson.
