We must respect the copy right and fair use rules whether we like it or not, it's the law. We as teachers could lose our jobs, be fined or even put in jail, if do not teach our students the difference between right and wrong then they could experience the same outcome. The best way to teach our students about the copyright laws and the best way to instill these laws is by example. Teachers at all levels have the responsibility and the legal obligation to model appropriate respect for copyright law and educate students about how they can do the same.
Online and safety and cyberbullying are the similar and different in certain ways. They both aim to hurt a certain individuals. Online safety, never give out your personal information such as, your real name or your home or school address. The less information you give someone that you dont know, the better. Cyberbulling is like bullying on the playground except on the internet. The latest thing happening is something called "Facebook raping" or Fraping for short. Someone will forget to logout of their facebook and someone else (not the owner of the facebook account) will post or like embarrassing things. Remember to log out everytime and keep a password on your phones. Please be careful while on the internet, there are many people in the world to hurt you.
I learned quite a bit this week, certain things I knew such as you can not show a movie in a group setting without consent from the movie, certain clips/movies are allowed for educational purposes. I didnt know that schools could keep news recording or cable broadcast recording for 10 days. The assignment this week was very helpful and filled with plenty of knowledge that is necessary for teachers such as myself. I saved the coyright cheat sheet to my computer, thank you!
I agree the assignment this week was helpful but sort of frighten to me. As if I do not have enough to worry about. Funny when I used to sub the school showed movies at the end of the day wjile waiting for pick ups and Disney mostly. I read they (Disney) have been know to sue. Pretty scarey stuff to know.
ReplyDeleteYou really hit on some great stuff. I learned so many things in this lesson too. Who would of thought that certain clips from a movie can be use for educational purposes. And it is a great idea to save the copyright cheat sheet to your computer, I am going to do the same.

I like how you used the "lead by example" method. We need to show our students that it is not just important for them, but for us as their teachers and adults to follow copyright laws.
ReplyDeleteYour comment about "the less inmormation you put on the web, the better" is really important. I would also include that it is best not to even put ANY information about yourself on the web unless you have the consent of the teacher. That goes to show that the teachers really are concerned and do not want their students to be harmed.
