Thing Twenty-three: Knowing When It's Not Okay To Borrow


For this thing I was to research what copyright laws are and browse creative commons website. As a teacher it is important to be familiar with copyright laws so that- one: we know how to properly use materials and two: so we know how to properly teach our students about them. With me being a future kindergarten- sixth grade teacher this can be a tricky topic to cover. One site I found to be particularly helpful though was the Library of Congress.Check it out here! At this site you can have students view a video, browse a timeline, and look at some common questions involving what copyright laws are. Another thing that is important to teach and know is your symbols. Such as if a site ( like the APSU 23 Things  site) has a creative commons license with some rights reserved meaning some things can be used from this site.
