Copyright

Personal copyrights last a lifetime, plus 70 years. Company copyrights last 100 years. Basically copyrights last forever. Education methods allow a educator to borrow copyrighted material for educational purposes. The video was a collection of Disney characters, from Disney movies, stating facts about copyrights. At the end, it says, it is protected because the video was educational. At the end of the video a list of credits rolls down the screen, listing all the characters and the movies they appeared in. Knowing about copyright laws is important to educators, so they can protect themselves.

Questions

1. Describe two important curricular topics that you have taught in this grade/subject area. Two topics I taught about this past semester were, target heart rates, and BMI (body mass index). My content area is P.E./Health


2. Tell me about a lesson you taught and why it went well. The lesson I taught on target heart rates went really well. The lesson went well because of my knowledge on the subject and the effort from the students. The students tend to like activities that they are not completely use to.


3. Name a specific method or strategy you have used to teach in the past and why it is one you will continue to use. My favorite method that i use the most is instructional feedback. In PE, I can explain/demonstrate an activity to students, then have the students repeat the procedure. The students then try to do the activity and I observe. In my observation I am looking for them to complete the task correctly, I can give instant instructional feedback to help to students complete the activity successfully.

Technology Factor of Quality Standards

These students are making videos for their class. I was in a class in high school where we made two videos. The class was Natural Resources and we made one video about Whitetail Deer, and the other on Fish. The best thing about making the video it was fun. It was a new technology for us, the movie editor on the computer, so our interests were never failing. These students see, to be enjoying the process of the movie. These students are grouped up 3 to a computer. I think that is good because there is so many other things that need to be done. Dividing the class into groups and assigning different tasks keep students busy. Integrating the technology is the main point of this video.
