Copyrights

What? - Today we learned about the several different laws that there are regarding copyrights and protection of information on the internet. We learned about how to copyright our information through the creative commons website as well.

So What? - To me now this makes me realize that there is a way to copyright some of my information that I want to share with others without them having to ask me for my permission everytime they would like to use it. Today I also learned another resource that I can go to when i would like to access other peoples work. I won't have to worry about breaking any rules because I will know how to access their work without infringing upon their rights.

Now What? - I can help to protect my student from cyber ethic issues by presenting the website to them about how to copyright the items that they produce. I will also help me students by grading them harshly based on copyright standards. I will go over with them how they need to properly site sources and what is available to be used by them.
