We need to respect copy rights rules because they are protected by law. It is illegal to reproduce or copy somebody else's work and we can get in big trouble for doing this. As educators it is our responsibility to make sure we teach our students the copy rights and fair use rules so that they understand the importance of these. We need to keep in mind that we as teachers serve as models for our students and if we project integrity and trustworthiness, our students will follow the same path.
I think that a good way to teach students about copy right rules would be having them write a book of their own. Then I would pretend I am stealing one of the books; then I would ask them what I did wrong. After that, I would talk about copy rights rules and how art and litterary works are protected by this form of legal protection.
What is online safety and is it different from cyberbullying? How can we protect our students and ourselves from potential online predators? Online safety tips and suggestions help prevent cyberbullying form occurring. We need to be very careful when navigating the web, but most importantly, we need to make our children aware of the online predators and bullies that are just waiting for them to give out their school or home address, their names and personal info. It is very important that we talk to them about online safety and cyberbullies.We want the best for our kids so we need to make them aware of such things.
What do you think about this week activities? Did you learn anything new?
I did learn more about the copy rights and fair use rules. I really enjoyed going to all the websites provided by instructor Moore.
I think that we need to be more careful when using the web, but most important is that we keep our kids safe from cyberbullies and predators.
