After
watching all the videos I realized just how little I knew and understood about
copyrighting. This is an issue that I will bring into my classroom next year. I
teach middle school students and it is important for them to understand the
issues of copyrighting.
The
areas far and wide that are touched by copyright laws did surprise me. I am
thankful that we are learning about these issues. When I give an assignment to
create an iMovie I need to be able to explain, (at least try to) the issues regarding
copyrights.
Copyright
laws directly affect the music industry. I had a father in my classroom that was
a successful musician and songwriter. He explained to me the potential loss of
income he had because of people not following the copyright laws. Of course, he
had the option to sue them. However, he always felt things would work out, and
for Willie Nelson I think things have worked out fine.

Wk 1 Blog Post - Choices-Present or Publish
Wow, deciding to present or not to is a big decision. I do like having the freedom to make the choice between writing and presenting. I have enjoyed the long and winding path that brought me to the completion of my Literature Review. However, collecting data from my AR Project was equally fulfilling. I probably will choose presenting. Either way right now I have the "butterflies." Excitement, anticipation and recognition. I want to know that my work this year has been done well and that it is graduate level work. Presenting my project will be the best way to share my information.
