Thing #23

I will use creative commons in the future with my students by having them know that you cannot steal someone's work. I am going to inform them that it is like them taking all this time to create, write, or draw something and then have someone get online and take it and distort it and make it something that you did not intend for it to be. Therefore, you put a copyright on it because it is your work and you do not want someone destroying your work and then taking credit for your work. My students will understand that they will have to have respect for other peoples work and that actually it is an illegal act to steal someones work. So, I will show them on Google how to search for items that they can use according to how we are using it. If we need to draw on something I will show them how to search for something that can be drawn on. Or if something just needs to be copy and pasted I will show them how to set that preference in searching. If I find a project that has things on it that were licensed and could not of been used I will take points off for that students project.
