A lesson plan I might create that would use technology would be an introduction to animals and the different types of them to my younger age students. The technology I would use would have to be microsoft powerpoint. I can use the slides to talk about the animals and put up different facts and i can also create links to different websites to reinforce what i was saying about the animals I was teaching about. The subject would be animals and the grade level would be for first graders because i can teach them more about why animals are the way they are and not just this is a cat and it meows.

For the visual I would use where everything in my powerpoint is lined up correctly and it is not just one slide full of words. For the website, it would include information that was age appropriate and pictures to reinforce what i was saying to the children.

For copyright and fair use, I would site the sorces I was using and teach the children the material that not only they came up with on the site but my material as well. As a teacher, I would tell students they cannot just take other peoples work. I will show then things that I have come up with as well as use sites to back it up. I would teach them in a manner where they would understand. They learn at an early stage what is right and wrong and i would teach them you cannot take without asking or you can borrow something as long as you give credit to the person you are borrowing information for. If you try to teach students using methods they already know then it helps to reinforce everything and they will understand much better.
