       Incorporating technology into classrooms is important.  However, it is important that all of the resources used are copyright friendly.  To do this, I will get resources from either copyright friendly sources or check with the creator of the source to see if I could use their material.  It’s important that teachers use technology to incorporate the diverse learning needs of students.  A teacher cannot expect each student to be on the same level in the use of technology and should set their expectations accordingly.  It is important that students who use computers also know about copy right laws.  Students should enjoy technology and not be afraid to use it.  As a teacher, I will make sure my students wash their hands after going to the computer lab so that germs do not get spread as easily.
