Reflection:

The above newsletter and copyright paper were created for another ITEC class at Kent State. The information included in my newsletter artifact is a perfect example of promoting safe and healthy use of resources. It includes many hints for parents to keep their children safe while surfing the Internet. It also includes links to many additional resources for parents to become even more educated. The newsletter models ethical and legal practice by citing resources which were used. The response I wrote in regards to a fictional copyright scenario also shows my knowledge of copyright law and usage.I still need to work on addressing the diverse needs of all users and learning more strategies which will allow equitable access to digital tools and resources. Copyright laws are complcated and constantly changing, and I need to do more to keep up with the current practices.
