Copyright


Copyright is a major issue within schools today. It is an aspect of research that is looked over by many. Students need to become educated on taking information from the internet as a tool for their learning, rather than a source of plagiarism.
           Copyright is the process of getting a license in order to protect your work from the public. It is the ability to control the altering of your work by making certain aspects of your work inaccessible and some to be used to a certain extent without the individual asking you. Copyright is a way for everyone to share knowledge and for teachers to use in order to create innovative knowledge for their students. Copyright exists to make sure that work is on the internet for fair use such as teaching, studying and criticisms (Figg, ND). Something about copyright that I feel would be important to teach students are the types of copyright labels so they can research information online and know what information they can and cannot use and what information they can alter. An example of the types of copyright that I would teach my students are presented in the image below. Another example of what teachers should educate their students on in regards to copyright are types of plagiarism, so students understand how to present information that is accessible in the proper manner. This is also shown in an image below.


Below are examples of how to cite images found online.
