          I have used Microsoft Word for many things from reports, papers, and all other projects that have come about during school. Teachers use it as the infrastructure for students to write their papers, and it has been passed on throughout the years and is the stepping stone for all research and essay work.

          Copyright and fair use for me has always been utilized to not only prevent illegal use of content, but to prevent plaigarism as well. As a teacher, I would definitely break down what could be used and what could not, as well as provide advice and many different ways of creativity that could spawn new ideas.

            Cyberbullying would definitely be the top issue on my list to resolve. Reason being is that too many children get bullied and have their lives and livelihoods ruined at a young age. One way to prevent this is to not only explain why cyberbullying is wrong, but to learn the rights from the wrongs when in the online world. Consequences for those who partake in cyberbullying would be a complete cutoff of digital resources. The second issue that I believe would be helpful to implement would be academic dishonesty. On many occasions, and sometimes not on purpose, plaigarism and cheating are known to be at the forefront of dishonesty. Anything that involves said issues would be subject to a 0 for all parties involved, as well as further consequence which could amount to suspension at minimum or grounds for expulsion for repeat offenders. Lastly, we live in a world where everything is easily accessible, searched and easy to see. Inappropriate content has been a staple in online communication and inspiration for these images come from an 18+ platform, that should not be seen from students to begin with. Using computers to do such activity can be prevented by explaining how dangerous it is to not only do and see that, but put your personal information out for the world to see. Breaking down the factors and consequences can kill two birds with one stone. Safety for students, and teachers as well is very important not only through school, but real life as well.
