Concept Map
This week in class we learned how to do a concept map. Different websites you can use to create concept maps are Inspiration, Webspiration, Bubbl, or Gliffy. Concept Maps are great to get information organized in a manner to see everything laid out on one page.
I am studying Special Education and concept maps will definitly be a great tool to use in the classroom when I am teaching. It will be a good tool to have students use in order to become involved in the classroom and the material that they are learning. Concept maps are also a great way to become more familiar with the internet and become more comfortable with it as well.
This website on wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concept_map , shows what a concept map is, how to read them, and different ways to use them as well. This website also shows the history of concept maps and how they started out very simple and how they have become very complex over time.

Copyright Law and Fair Use
Last week in class, which was week four, we learned about the Copyright Law and Fair Use. The Copyright Law is a form of protection provided to the authors of original work which includes literacy, dramatic, musical, artistic, and other intellectual works. Fair Use is the certain limitations to the Copyright law which determines whether or not a particular use is fair. There is four areas of Fair Use, the first is the purpose and character of the use. The next is the nature of the copyrighted work. The third is the amount of the portion used in relation to the the copyrighted work as a whole. Lastly is the effect of the use upon the potential market for the copyrighted work.
My major is Special Education and the copyright law and fair use law relate to my field of study. Since I am going to be a teacher my students are going to have to know what the copyright law is and the fair use law when writing papers and citing resources for papers as well.
This link, http://home.earthlink.net/~cnew/research.htm,shows the definition of copyright law and fair use in easy terms. This would be a good website to teach students what these laws are and how to use them.
