March 3. Digital Stories Part 2

What:  We learned about copyright information

So What:  This information is important for students to know becaues it is a legal matter.  If students are not aware of these laws and are never taught, they will most likely break them and can run into serious problems later in their life.  I think it's important to teach them this, because it's something they will have to deal with everyday for the rest of their lives.  Today it has become so easy to take media or information, and it's important to teach students the right way to do so.

Now What:  As a teacher I would make sure that I teach them this because it's important to know.  I would do it in a way that applies it to them.  As a consumer, sometimes it's hard to see how plaigirism really effects us because we want a product, and some will do just about anything to get it at a lower price or free if they can.  I would apply it to the students, and put them in a situation where they had worked really hard on something, or invented something and then ask how they would feel if someone took that and called it their own.  I think this would really help show the importance of citing their work, and would show them the correct ways to do that.
