Maine Memory Network
I would use this cool and unique network to have students research documents of medical advances and even documents on some of the important people that have made a difference in health. Having these documents and pictures can help the students understand different effects of diseases back when. Looking through the network I found a nutrition camp in Casco, health parades in portland, and documents on health reports. I find that these are tools that students can use, but if this network was not in place, students would lose out on useful information and documents. There are many type two learning skills that students can demonstrate while using the tools that this network provides such as a slideshow of documents.

Copyright and Fair Use
1. (1 on quiz) I understand that if a school owns a copy of Photoshop, then they have the right to put it up on the school server. What if the student who has that application takes the computer home from school because it is on their laptop? Is this still legal? I feel that if someone buys something then they should be able to do whatever they want with it.
2. (4 on quiz) I feel that if a school cannot afford to buy software for their school they should have the right to copy the download to any computer. The school is there to improve the education of students and to not allow a school to download an application to the schools server because it is copied, then that company should be prosecuted for stopping the education of the students.
3.(5 on quiz)If a teacher needs to have all students with a program on their computer and needs to burn Cd's for all student s to get it, I believe that the teacher has the right to do this for the classroom because it is fair. Yet, I think that our country is all about saving money by going outside the realm of copyrights. Think of all the music that people burn and sell or give to friends. It's not ever solely for the one person.
4. (6 on quiz) I love the fact that the Internet is a great source. It provides pictures and information that can make a classroom bloom with thinking minds. If someone credits the web page then it is a free for all. I love that!
5. (8 on quiz) Most downloads are meant for people to learn by in some way or to get something that they want to view. A statement says "legitimately acquired", what does that mean? Much usable information found now on file sharing web pages have big copyright laws that are hard to understand. If someone doesn't want their work taken then don't put it up on the wide open web.
6. (12 on quizzes) I love the fact that a student can get clips of videos from TV or a recording device off the TV. I feel that if they show it on TV, than anyone should have the right to use it if it is served as an educational tool. So grab all the laser disks you can find.
The guidelines for copyright are confusing and unnecessary rules that can be made clearer by just not having rules with it. If they have put an artifact out in the public then it should be used by everyone.

How to help someone use a computer ( trouble loading to page)
I find that on this page is a ton of information that many people can benefit from. Taking some of the information into mind, many people can avoid cyber bullying and advance their personal skills on the computer. Working with others on the computer just helps you attain the information you learned on their more than if you were to do it alone.
"Nobody is born knowing this stuff." I find that no one is born knowing this stuff, but some people are born into a knowledgeable family that can teach computer literacy at a very young age. I see that if someone was never around a computer at a young age then it would be harder for them to attain the information later on in life. That is why our generation is unique in the way that we grew up with the tools.
"When they do something wrong, don't say "no" or "that's wrong". They'll often respond by doing something else that's wrong. Instead, just tell them what to do and why." I feel that the computer is designed to do many of the tasks that you ask it to do. The only problem with these tasks is that you may have asked the wrong questions. Knowing what questions to ask and how to ask them is also a useful tool. I feel that knowing all the information from the article. I found out that nothing is ever the computers fault. Well, at least when you are trying to ask it something. Don't say to the computer that it is doing something wrong. The computer is just doing what they are asked.
