Copyright

Students have a little idea about copyright issues, thus as a future teacher,  I'd ask what they already know about copyright issues. Then I'd explain what the copyright is, what the rules and laws are and say that they can not use, change and share other people's materials which are protected by copyright laws. I'd also mention about 6 different types of copyright. I'd divide students into group of 6, I'd give each group one type of Copyright and  I'd like them to reseach it and present it in front of the class next week. I think this can help students to understand Copyright issue better and also they can realize what they should/shouldn't when they use other people's sources.

Flipped Classroom

I think Flipped Classroom is very beneficial for both students and teachers. Teachers can teach students outside the classrom by using videos and podcasts and use the classroom time with pair/group works and more efficient activities and exercises. Students also can watch these online videos and  podcast at their home or another place. They can pause and replay  them whenever they want. They also discuss with their peers and teachers online. However, some students don't want to involve in Flipped Classroom because they have already lots of classes in school and they may want to take a rest in their homes.

What I hope to learn from this clas?

Actually, I am not interested in tecnology and I'm not good at  any softwares or programs. However, after this class, I will learn lots of different softwares which will be very beneficial in my teaching life in the future. Thanks to this clas, I will enhance my technology knowledge and I will  be more effective and qualified teacher .For example, I can use different techniques by using these softwares.
