Rationale 1: This Prezi was created to inform students of the proper copyright practices when using technology. Although I already stress plagiarism in my English classroom, technology use adds a whole new set of rules. The Prezi is general and all-encompassing so it could be used with any of my high school classes. I have not yet used this presentation in my classes, but I plan to use it at the beginning of the next year so as to create good habits. Teaching copyright issues is an important thing to consider as a teacher because while technology use is a great asset, it could create bad habits in the students if they do not know how to use it legally. After completing this assignment I realized that, as a teacher, I should also be following copyright laws when I create presentations or put together resources so that I am leading by example. The desired student outcome is that good citation habits will be formed and practiced throughout the rest of the school year and the rest of their schooling.

KSD

6.K.4 The teacher recognizes the importance of nonverbal, verbal and media communication techniques.

I understand that students need to be reached with a variety of techniques: nonverbal, verbal and media. By using all three, as I would in this presentation, hopefully students will better internalize the information.

6.S.5 The teacher knows how to use a variety of media communication tools, including audiovisual aids and computers, to enrich learning opportunities.

I understand that learning about copyright rules can be dry. I created this Prezi so that students can see and hear the information. It will be posted on the class's Moodle page, so they are also able to reference back to the information.

6.D.2 The teacher values many ways in which people seek to communicate and encourages many modes of communication in the classroom.

I understand that today's students communicate largely with technology. Rather than discourage that, I embrace it by teaching the correct ways to use technology in their everyday communication.
