It is so important as educators to teach our students how to correctly reuse info from the internet, cite these sources, and most importantly, treat others with respect online.This lesson has taught me more than what I already knew about copywright and fair use laws by providing definitions and examples, as well as a helpful cheat sheet. I have learned what to inform my students of, and how to do it. Beginning with the "Section 107 of the 1976 Copyright Act", students will be familiar with the four factors that determine fair use (the purpose and character of
the use, nature of the copyrighted
work, the amount and substantiality,and the effect of the use upon the
potential market.Teaching students about the negative outcomes of cyber-bullying is so important and begins with proper netiquette.
I feel that ever area covered in this assignment is important for students to understand in order to be safe and smart online. Cyberbullying is such an emotional and important problem that all kids should be aware of and the effects of this can't be stressed enough. As a future educator, it is m job to not only engage my students in a learning environment, but to be their parent away from home and keep them safe. Therefore, I should use the cheat sheet, and keep all the links for these webpages so I can appropriately assign work to the students. Keeping students safe while they are exploring the internet is achieved through my own research and assessment of the assignment, as well as educating students about what I have just learned today in this assignment.
What a great point! I really like the perspective you have taken on this issue and I also like how cleverly you worded it. We are indeed expected to be the "parent away from home" for our students. That responsibility is a tremendous one and we should take it seriously. Our students will be best served if they are taught how to properly explore and use online resources.

I read what everyone is this class is writing. I thank you for it more than you will ever know. However, the truth is that teachers are the only ones who follow copyright laws. In fact, since I created my netiquette site I have found that no one follows the law except teachers. Police and lawyers are the biggest criminals.
