Copyrights, Fair Use, Cyberbullying & Nettiquete!!!
Honestly, I had no clue that technology would inforce as many laws as it does! Saying that; I understand that when you work hard on something special to you and the tool you created can help others, then I would want credit for it like most people would!! Even on the web you have to sure you are legal and not stepping on anyone's toes or crossing bounderies you do not belong in . This is obviosly where our "copyright" laws come into play. This is when the moral compass of each user has to be right on with pure intentions. If its not yours dont claim it, if you didn't do it dont except credit for it. Not only does this effect your conscious negatively, but you could potentially be looking at a law suit most of us in this economy cannot afford! The internet is a wonderful tool to use , but it has its downfalls. Obviuosly people can have different identies and alias, all of them will not have good intentions! Cyberbullying and nettiquete are both serious issues that if not handled correctly can be devestating to individuals along with groups of people and their lives! The "Golden Rule" applies on the web as well "do unto others as you would have them do unto you", or in my words " type onto others as you would have them type unto you " ! This assignment really opened my eyes to the legal and illegal actions that are allowed on the web or educational technology! Therefore will change the way I handle all my online interactions with not only other people but each individual site itself ! Good to know !!

What have I learned about MAPing activities ?!?!
Before this assignment i had no idea what MAPing was or how to use it . The credibilaty of a website meant nothing to me. I just always went to the most popular ones i have always heard about and was amazed to find out how the search results were produced! However i was familiar with a few of the search codes and search engine structures, there was a few surprises about countries, and educational codes you can use for a faster response time to dive right into your topic without hesitation!
Once I grasp the concepts of how to use MAPing , it quickly obtains the specific information you desire with the precise search that you typed in ! This is the only way I will use my search engines and search codes now as long as im able to use the internet ! Its faster, effecient , and precise to the topic of which you are trying to learn about !
As a Teacher , this will be the only way i will use the internet, and because of the instant , up-to-date, feedback, MAPing will be taught to any student who will enter the doors of my classrooms! This will also give me the tools to be a more prepared teacher. I will have anything I need at the click of a button. MAPing will change the way all students handle learning through technology ! Once fully understood , learning opportunities will be quick and endless. Obviously this opens up many new doors for a educational technology driven future!!

Introduction to Educational Technology!
Hello all my name is Joshua Wayne Hickman, I am a 25 year old kinesiology major studying to be a sucessful teacher and coach for a future career and lifestyle! I played college football and basketball for Trinity Valley Community College, then after a year transfered to East Texas Baptist University and finished out my playing career. In the fall of 2009 my deminished elgibility brought me closer to home and now am exited to finish up my academic career as a A&M Commerce Lion !!
Technology , in my opinion, is about to take over the academic world! Not only will technology bring a speedy new way to enhance and increase learning skills , but it will give students and teachers a hands on experience that will prepare them for a technology driven society and push them a step ahead into a future that is on its way to being overwhelmed by electronic devices and tools that will run our world with a push of a button!
I want to soak up as much knowledge that i can. I want to be able to overlaod myself with all the information that has to do with educating the new generation of children with the technology thats is essential in adapting to the world around them.To give them the best possible teaching methods so they may set themselves up for a very positive sucessful future! With the advanced technology that is being released from our government , not all our students will be able to understand it and catch on right way like some will. This is where this class can hopefully maximize my full potential and therefore i can transfer what ive learned for my students and send them on thier way feeling prepared and positive! These students will then come out of my class realizing that through this new revoloution of educational technnology they are only a click away from all their learning desires!!
