How I would deal with these concepts as a teacher is by making a fun powerpoint and interactive example. An example could be half the students creating their drawings and the other half copying the drawings. Half of the students drawing would again be split into half. Half trademarking their drawing and the others not. I would then explain why this is wrong with the powerpoint and how it's important to remain authentic. I haven't learned anything new but I do think sometimes it's hard to tell the difference if it's not directly stated. 

The technology issue I selected is academic dishonesty. A solution I have is to have the kids recite an oath about how it's bad and how they won't do it. Maybe sign a contract instead. I think this depends on the grade. I would also reiterate every month how it's bad and it's important to maintain academic integrity. Oh, also by telling them the serious consequences if they do academic dishonesty. 

I think generative AI is hurting student learning more than helping. While it is super useful and can be a great guide on finding a good study schedule, etc. A lot of students grow dependent on it and then second guess themselves or trick themselves into thinking they don't know the content. I partially believe it's the easy way out to learning. If it's used correctly and in a controlled manner, then it would be helpful. Maybe it's too helpful and that's why it's bad.  

New skills I acquired from working on the Newsletter Design would be using columns. It was a little tricky and probably still will be for me, but I managed to make it work. How I could improve in the future is spacing everything better. The skills I learned can be used in my future career when I need to make contracts, schedules, outlines, etc.
