This week we learned about copyrights, and how to get our personal work copyrighted. We also learned about the laws surrounding copyright and Cyperethics.
So What?
I definitely didn’t understand all of what went into copyrighting, and I am grateful that I do now. I can understand why Doc Waters wanted this to be a part of the lesson, mainly because copyright laws are broken every day, even by those who don’t realize they are doing it. It is also something that I will be teaching my students, when we do work on the internet. It would be good for them to know so they are aware of what they can and cannot use in the classroom and in everyday life.
Now What?
As I said before, I definitely was not aware of all the ins and outs of copyright. Learning about the severity of downloading certain things has made me pause and examine everything that I am downloading off the internet, now. And as I mentioned before, it is something that I will share with my students and try to instill in them the importance of Cyperethics.
