Thing 9

Copyright!!!!!!!!  That disneylike video was a little hard to take, but seriously.  I think that for students there are a lot of blurred lines regarding copyright and plagerism, some of the things that are available on the internet will blur those lines even further. I am not so sure that even adults who are not involved in education really understand about copyright law.  I think it is important that teachers frequently not only remind students about copyright law, but what the law means.  I know that even when I taught in higher education there was a lot of misunderstanding about what copyright meant. 

The additional websites were helpful, although I wasn't crazy about the comic book.  We all need to keep copyright laws in mind when we are working on our blogs.
