       Copyright is used by people to protect their individual work. It forces others to get your permission to use your work or share it. If you are using someones work you have to make sure you get their permission or give them credit. Fair use is a way to use someones copyrighted work without getting permission. However, there is specific situations when this is allowed. These instances include; schoolwork, news reports, when you are commenting, and when you are using it for a parody. For fair use to be allowed a person must give new meaning to the work and add their own ideas to it; they also must not profit off of the work.

This is because I find it integral to the teaching profession that educators are constantly improving their techniques and learning from others. If educators are constantly bettering themselves then this in turn improves the education they are providing for students. This standard is important for students because as educators stay up to date on research about education th...

I am a senior here at FSU and am planning to graduate this spring with a bachelors in Psychology and a minor in Education. I am applying to several schools after I graduate to get my Bachelors in Nursing and hope to be a traveling nurse. I usually spend my time hanging out with my friends and playing sports. I have always loved to travel and my favorite place that I have been to is definitely Ireland.     My skills using technology are definitely lacking and I do not want that to be my downfall in my career. Although my skills are not great I have definitely learned a lot in my four years at FSU. A main reason was a research methods class that I took and it taught me how to use several different systems to analyze and compute statistical data. I am fairly proficient using Microsoft word and powerpoint becaus...
