Introduction:
1. The biggest item in the reading that jumped out at me the most would have to be the "Wanted" ad on the first page. Here is the ideal teacher description made up by the students.
2. This portion of the readings stuck out because, ultimately, this is what I want to become, the ideal teacher. There are so many little things in this description that teachers can just forget to do. For example, one thing listed is that the teacher must smile. This is so important and can make such a difference in a person's day. The job description is a reminder for me because it lists all the things I wanted in a teacher as well.
Chapter 1:
1. The section that explains what teachers should know about their student's grabbed my attention, because I totally agree that a teacher should be aware that their student plays the guitar and so on.
2. I feel it is important to know what your students are interested in not only to get to know them, but it will also help you out as a teacher. You will be able to think of different activities that would involve the interests of the students. This is related to the Multiple Intelligence theory.
Chapter 2:
1. There is a respect list in chapter 2. This list states different things teachers and students have to do in order to receive respect. This is a somewhat nontraditional list.
2. The respect list has many things you would not expect to see written. For example, "don't assume you know everything about everyone" is one of the items on the list. This seems like something you should know already without reminders. Respect is crucial in the classroom and can be a very sensitive issue. This is why the respect list is so important.

Copyright and Fair Use LR
14. In question 14, Disney movies were shown to a group of small children during back-to-school night. The showing of this movie is against the Fair Use policy which in my opinion is ridiculous. What makes this even worse is that Disney offers a one-time use license for $25. You have got to be kidding me! These movies were paid for and should be able to be used in groups. So is it against the law for me to have friends over and watch movies? This is getting out of hand. I just don't understand how this is wrong. Is it just Disney? Actually, now that I think about it, is it against policy because the kids are at day care? The child is paying to be at the child care and therefore paying to see this movie? If that is the case, I can see why it is breaking the Fair Use code.
Copyright and Fair Use SR
Short Responses
1. In regards to the question of the teacher making copies of all her CD-ROM discs, I felt that this question of fairness was false, because it was an infringement of copyright laws. You aren't supposed to burn DVD's or VHS's, or so I thought, and I figured it was the same with a CD-ROM. Now I know that under these circumstances, it is allowed.
5. For this question the geography teacher was in the wrong for burning more software to provide to every student, but the teacher who made extra copies for backup wasn't doing anything wrong. I don't know if I feel this is right. I agree that having backup is important, but I also believe that having the information available to every student at a time is equally important.
6. For question number 6, I was shocked to see the answer. You can keep pictures in a folder for a reference for your students with out giving the author/photographer credit but can't if you use the same picture/information on an overhead projection? This isn't clear to me.
8. When I first read number 8, I thought that nothing was wrong with the picture, but this was before I really read into the question. We credited the site which is good, but apparently he didn't have a legitimate reason.
11. I didn't know you could tape shows off of TV for your own personal use, but I guess if you weren't supposed to do that then why would they have made recorders?
12. Like in the above question, I didn't know taping of TV was allowed. But this seems like a complete double standard. You would think that if the student paid for the rental then she could copy it instead of having it taped off of TV for free.
13. This doesn't seem fair at all. How can a different class use work found on the Internet with out citing all of the appropriate information?
15. The teacher who uses the video clips should be okay if he properly cites where he got them. On the other hand if you go to the website given on the answer page, you don't have to worry about breaking the copyright codes? Again, this doesn't seem fair.
