CopyRight

It's been my experience that teachers don't always have access to all teaching materials needed. Therefore, many teachers share equipment, knowledge, ideas, and copyrighted material. Are they really going to get in legal trouble for sharing this information. And if so, shouldn't the employer also be held accountable for not providing enough material.

My name is Angela Espinosa. I am a teachers aide at a public elementary school. I have worked at my school for the past 9 years. I have worked in every class room on my campus from Pre-k, to 6th grade and even CMC, PPCD, afterschool tutoring and one time I had to help in our cafeteria when one day the kitchen had a small disaster and was unable to cook lunch so we had to make over 700 sandwiches by hand to feed the students for the day.
Our school was newly rebuilt in 2009 so we received completely new technological equipment for our campus. Before our building was about 40 years old and many of our classrooms still had to use chalkboards. Today we have Promethian Boards in every class room. Our computer lab has brand new Macs for students to use, We have audio book devices we assign to students, And some of our classroom have laptops that are issued to students.
I am somewhat familiar with using computers and technology but I would really like to learn as much as I can about what is really out there for teachers to use. I can do simply things, download music, upload pictures, but I don not have a good knowledge of more in depth ways to use technology.
