    As a teacher, I would make sure everything I use is public domain. I think is important to only use resources if they are available to the public. When developing my own instructional materials, I wouldn't mind sharing them with other teachers through systems such as teachers pay teachers. I think it still important to have licenses, but when it comes to lesson plans, I don't mind sharing them. I didn't know you could license images so easily, as well as the creative commons license. I thought it would be a longer more complex process, but it was very simple. 

    With technology comes many implementation issues. The issue i find most concerning is cyberbullying. In my future classroom, I would add restrictions to technology I allow in the classroom. I would also monitor my students when they are actively using the technology. This could mean walking around the classroom as the students work, as well as adding locks to certain apps. 

      I developed a lot new skills from creating my newsletter. I learned how to make a email link, a hyperlink, a permission slip and columns. In the future, I feel I could improve on the columns portion. It was hard for me to line up the words once they were in the columns. In my future career as a teacher, I will definitely use skills like creating the email link and hyperlink, as those will be important when sending home information to the parents.
