Do Now 3/14

       If I get to be an invisible hero for one day, I would do a lot of things.  The first thing I will do is  help the homeless people by giving them food, clothes and a house. I would help people who need help like with their homework or like a grandma with groceries that are too heavy. Another thing I will do is help people who are incapable of doing a lot of things, like kids who cant walk because they are injured or something.  Another thing I will do is help the animals that are in the street injured and get them  to a veterinarian.
        I would help those people who go into accidents and get them to the nearest hospital. I would also help those people who cant get a job by giving them money.  Also I will help those people that
 are in pain and get them better medicine.  I  would also make sure the world is better than it was before by helping as much is I can in one day.

Educational Technology and Copyright Law

     What I learned in this article was how can you use an image without getting copyrighted and the fair use of copyright. I learned that if I post a picture and a teacher wants to use it, they could and they will not get copyrighted.  Also I learned that I could use a licensed picture but I have to give credit to the photographer, which I always do.
