10-18-2010 Copyrights

What?
  • Today we looked up information about copyrights and presented our new knowledge to the class.
So What?
  • I have been assigned to write close to 50 different papers in my college career so far, all of which required at least a minimum amount of research.  Due to the advancement in technology, when I am required to look up information, the first place I turn to is sites on the internet.  Through looking at the sites and learning the different material that was presented in class, I learned so much about copyright laws I did not even know existed.  There are laws in place for copyright that I, previously, have been close to break without even knowing it. I learned that there is so much about copyright laws that I should be much for aware on.
Now What?
  •  When I begin teaching in the future, I am sure that many students in my class will be in the same situation that I was in before learning this the specific laws and requirements to copyrights.  Technology is such a major, necessary and beneficial part of our lives.  We use it everyday.  However, we are not educated everyday on HOW to use it and what is safe or unsafe.  When I begin teaching, I want to give my students the quiz that was mentioned and other lessons to  educate them on how to use technology in a safe manner.  This way they will not end up like me, in college and, until now, unaware of crucial copyright laws.
