Copyright

Here is a copyright mind map. Copyright is important when doing research, writing papers, and general work. Copyright can be very difficult to understand and navigate through, so here is a simple mind map to help with the basics!

Edmodo

Facebook is all the rage, and a program like edmodo would be just as beneficial and amazing to use within the school! When I first had heard of edmodo, I was immediately amazed and excited about the tool teachers can use with edmodo!!

• I would love to use Edmodo this coming school year for my health classes and my 4th graders. I anticipate this site being a great way to document discussion on current even health topics and to pose more of a discussion between the students. Having student posts to Edmodo would really help with the time restraint I deal with during school. With Edmodo, the students are able to log in at any time and complete their assignment. I can then utilize the actual class time to foster more topic learning and focus on studying on pertinent topics. 
• There are no costs associated with Edmodo.
• Edomodo can be located at https://www.edmodo.com

Youtube

Youtube is a great tool for students, teachers, and parents alike to use throughout the school year. Youtube is way for students and teachers to record various instructions or assignments and then publish the videos publicly or privately. 

• Youtube is a tool that is used throughout the school year. In art class, we utilize teaching videos to learn various art techniques. Youtube is also used by students to watch how certain assignments are expected to be carried out in the classroom. Students are also expected to use Youtube to record assignments and share with class.
