Blog Journal Two
As a student, and especially as an English major I have had to use Microsoft Word on numerous occasions. I use MS Word for every paper that I have to write, notes I have had to take, and for every other written text that was best formatted online. I have seen my teachers use MS Word for typing notes for class and presenting them to the class as well as creating rubrics and other related links/documents to post on the course site.
I have had a good amount of exposure to copyright and fair use materials. Last semester I took a class called Rhetorical Theory and Practice in which we were required to create a text that was completely original and then prove why it was not copyright and make a fair use argument for it. As a teacher I would deal with these concepts by making sure that students know all of the details of the fair use argument and copyright. Additionally, I would assure that students knew the difference and could identify a copyright version of a text versus a somewhat copyrighted version of a text versus an original work. I would also make sure that students were creating their own material and practice making a fair use argument of their own.
My solutions to these three technology implementation issues:
1. Copyright:
-Educating users the difference between what is remixing, redoing, or revamping a text and actually creating an original text. To my understanding, creators will think they are creating a work of their own based off of someone else's work when in reality it is copyright because they are not changing it enough to make it an original work (or giving credit to its original creator).
2. Privacy:
-In my opinion this is all up to the user. Your privacy is at your disposal and while there are many ways that certain individuals can access your information or gain access to your technology, it is much less likely to happen if your protect your devices/sites the way you should. I think that privacy can also be protected by changing your passwords frequently and implementing small solutions like this to prevent it from being easy for people to track your various forms of important information.
3. Cyberbullying
-This can also be solved by education. Many times, individuals know that they are cyberbullying , but they are to seeing the affects that this is having on those around them or those who they are victimizing. There are other ways to prevent cyberbullying or at least stop it in its tracks by implementing a similar method for when someone sees someone being bullied in real life; the by standard method. The same applies for online bullying, if someone sees someone being bullied online they should stop it as soon as they see it, not let it happen.
