I believe as a teacher it is vital to understand the importance of copyright because I will be creating instructional content and asking students to create their own work. When it comes to me making materials, I will start by using my own content and resources. However, when I need to use other sources I will cite them correctly and give credit where it is due. I will teach students the importance of giving credit to sources and not copying others work. I believe understanding copyright and fair use will make me a more responsible teacher and I will be able to teach my students to respect others work. 

One technological implementation issue that means a lot to me is student privacy. As I become a preschool teacher I believe student privacy is very important, as kids are so young they aren't able to speak up for themselves and ask for privacy. In classrooms technology is used in everything, so as a teacher I will only use school-approved websites and applications that have privacy settings. I will also not disclose any personal information such as full name, birthday, addresses, or photos. This way I can create a safe digital learning environment. 

I acquired how to use and manage MS word with making my newsletter. I had always used google docs before hand so it was fun and cool to navigate a new website. I could improve my newsletter by I think going into more depth in certain sections and maybe more fun backgrounds. I can use skills I learned in my future because MS word will definitely be used in classrooms and it will be something I can teach to my students.
