Copyright Laws

Copyright laws are a big deal that a lot of people don't take into consideration when they surf the web and use the various amounts of information from the websites. I thought this was a good emphasis to learn about because as teachers, we are going to be using various forms of information in our classrooms to help teach our students. One benefit for using info, research and multimedia content is Fair Use. With fair use, I can use the material to educate my students legally. There are limitations with fair use as well. Which is also important to take into consideration. We need to use the information that we gather responsibly as teachers. Set a standard for our students.

One thing I also wanted to note that I read on a website was that if you are in doubt about whether or not you need permission to use something--always ask permission. This is very beneficial to note as an individual. :)
