Wow, I can’t believe what I’ve just read about copyright. First of all after reading this it’s like all those years of teachers telling me to write down sources and to get permission from people have all been thrown out the window. Now, I’m not saying that this is a bad thing I’m just saying that I cant believe it. I think that as far as teachers go we should be able to use any resources we want, weather those sources are copyrighted or not. If it’s for an educational purpose, to advance the material that we are teaching to a higher level or if it’s to expand the knowledge of our students copyright laws should not stand I our way. However, we cannot cross the very thin line of good use and bad use. If we do as teachers use this material and also forgo the copywriter laws what we must not do is take credit for that material, saying that it is our own work. That’s crossing the line, using it to further our student understanding of material is one thing but taking credit for writing or making that material is a completely different idea. So if we are to forgo copywriter laws and use this privilege as teachers we cannot abuse it or we may loose that privilege.
