Learning about the copy right laws today was interesting. I knew there were copyright laws but I didn't realize how much they are actually broken. I reflected on my own usage of documents, music, videos and I think I need to tweet how I go about using the items 😬
As a future administrator, I think it is very important to know these laws and make sure you and your staff adheres to them. Avoiding legal fees, problems, and the reputation associated with that would be best.
Good thoughts, Ashley! I think they should really incorporate some sort of copyright class into an undergrad program for teachers! As a future administrator it is even more important to be sure that your teachers are following these laws and that you help your teachers to be aware of these laws as well!
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you said her Ashley!
ReplyDeleteI also knew a tad on copyright laws but not to the extent that we went over today in class. With the copyright laws, it made me think about the power points that I use in my classroom that have pictures on them and giving credit where credit is needed.
I agree with Lynsey as well about possibly integrating a undergrad course for teachers on copyright issues. I was not aware that you can only use 10% of clip from a movie or song when doing a presentation.
