Copyright
Having knowledge about copyright is important but has many gray areas and not very many people are area of what is right and wrong. Copyright is to protect the owner/creator of a product. The owner would not want someone to take their design/product and reproduce it to make money from it. Anyone can use the Fair Use, commonly used in education. You can use material (video, articles, and pictures) to educate as long as it is being used to educate not to change the material or make money off of it. You should not make copies of something and distribute them. It is ok to view and research any material. When you belong to facebook, twitter etc, you are giving them the right to use what you have posted, as long as it was displayed while you were a active participant. If you want to protect your copyright review your options in Creative Commons. This gives you options on what you as the owner will allow others to do with your creations. Schools should educate the teacher on the latest copyright policies, post in copy machine areas, do not allow video’s to be reproduced and distributed.
