✰    This week, we talked about the use of copyright and fair use. Copyright is when by under the law, an individual has the right to perform, reproduce, distribute, and display publicly on their presented work (whether it be a video, a song, movie, etc.). Fair use is when you use someone else's work and remaking a small bit from it for non-commercial use and to make new meaning of it. It is important to understand these concepts since as a teacher, you need to be able to give credit when it is due to others.

I have familiarized myself with the tools and skills that most students know how to use when writing a paper. Whenever I go on a different word-processing program, like Google Docs, it isn't as nicely formatted as it is with Word; I also feel uncomfortable using Google Docs because I rarely use it. ✰      In our EME 2040 class this week, we talked about how teachers incorporate technology with their educational and professional networks.

      ✯   Hi, my name is Bri! Welcome to my blog! ❤  I  am 19 years old (20 in March, wow I feel old), and I am a second-year student studying Social Sciences Education while minoring in Child Development at FSU. I am a huge fine arts kid at heart, and I've done choir and theatre for seven years. I am involved with Women's Glee Club, an open-access all-women choir, and this semester, we're working and debuting on a major, new cantata called the Suffrage Cantata by Andrea Ramsy (it is dedicated and written for the Women's Suffrage Movement!). I also work at Starbucks outside of campus, and I love making coffee drinks and connecting with customers and my fellow partners. Some fun facts about me: Favorite Music Bands/Artists: Lady Gaga, Sam Smith, Waterparks, and Walk the Moon Favorite TV Show: RuPaul's Drag Race (currently watching Season 13), Friends, and The Good Doctor Favorite Starbucks Drink(s): Iced Caramel Macchiatos with Almondmilk, Cold Bre...
