We learned about intellectual property, creative commons, copyright, cyber ethics, and fair use. This is all good information to know as a teacher, and a student. I never knew the copyright laws were so strict. This information will be really useful because now I know how to stay safe and completely avoid getting in trouble for breaking copyright laws. This applies to me because now I know somewhat of what I can and can't use for presentations, digital stories, videos etc.
Now I know the process I have to go through if I want to use a song or movie in my classroom, but I also now know where to find music, pictures, and other stuff that is not copyrighted. Knowing this information, I will be able to pass it on to my future students and help them understand copyright laws and everything else we have learned about so they can make digital stories with no problems. I think my students will love making digital stories. My sister has actually made a digital story for her class with 3 other girls and loved it. Kids these days know so much about technology. Their world revolves around technology, so giving them an assignment like a digital story would be a breeze to them
