Copyright Law
Honestly Copyright is more confusing than I thought. I always thought copyright was about respect and giving credit but it is all about control. Teachers are arranged in the copyright laws so that they can use technology specifically during a classroom setting. Teachers are not allowed to share with the community or the entire school. Students also can insert pictures on PowerPoint presentations. Copy right is a civil right. Copyright orders that technology should not be used for entertainment or reward. It is important that teachers explain to their students about Copyright expectations. Also for example when a student write a research paper , it is very important that the student have a works cited and providing the readers with evidence and the Copyright laws are respected. It is also important that students are informed not to put their personal information on the web. Cyber Bullying is also important when others intend to humiliate or harass an individual. Copyright is a law that is intended to be followed. I remember when Lime Wire was popular; it was a number of individuals breaking the civil law of Copyright. The Copyright laws protect all people in some form or fashion.

Copyright laws started with the copying of books and has now expanded to things such as music and movies.
ReplyDeleteI so agree that copyrighting is confusing. I think it would be more stressful and confusing to keep up with teachers trying to teach there students about it when the government is always adding and changing the rules.
