Copyright is a law that protects the author or creator’s works. Respecting these rights of the author or creators works will keep them from being cheated out of any monetary gain. If you were to be the author or creator you would want to have credit for your ideas and not someone else. The best way to teach students about copyright is to lead by example. If you respect the copyright then your students will understand and follow.
Online safety is the security of people and their information when being on the internet. I believe it is different in away than cyber bullying, one being a bully online is there to intimate and even look to cause serious harm to another. Ways to protect your children and yourself are to never give out personal information and us a cyber name.
I have always known about copyright but this lesson has been very interesting in learning about the different amounts of work that can be used. I always thought that if something has a copyright you could not use it for another use. I printed the copyright cheat sheet to help me make sure that I follow the fair use rules.
I think that students need to be very aware of cyber bullying and how to be safe online. So any way that these topics can be brought to their attention and shown how important it is to be safe and on guard while surfing the internet will be a valued lesson.
