What: This week in class, we focused on the many copyright laws that are in place for media sharing and what led to them be created and enforced. We used the jigsaw method as a means of researching and teaching each other about each section of the copyright assignment.
So What: I was absolutely amazed at all of the events that have occurred in the past that have involved copyright infringement. It's easy to see why there are so many laws centered around copyright. I was especially interested in learning about Creative Commons. It sounds like a great website for licensing and sharing media with others without having to be so concerned about the laws. I know that when I begin teaching, I will want to be able to share information and use other teachers' material without being worried about breaking copyright laws. By learning about websites like this, I know that there is collaborative information still out there that isn't surrounded by copyright issues.
Now What: After learning about the many laws involving copyright, I know that I will be much more careful about obtaining information or media off the internet. I will also be sure to educate my own students about the importance of these laws. It is so crucial to understand copyright because it is part of internet etiquette. I am interested in learning more about specific situations that led up to each of the copyright laws.
