copyright and fair use....

Simply trying to learn about copyright is difficult enough, but trying to teach it to multiple students throughout multiple years makes it seem almost like insanity. Now when I was in school, copyright play a role but we didn't have nearly as much to draw from as the students of today do. The laws and guidelines to fair use that is being laid out by the law seems quite necessary.

The laws have also seemed to come in to help with cyber safety as well. With so many pop-ups, viruses, and other harmful things just floating around that could harm your computer you also have to look for the online predators that are just searching for someone that they could pounce on. As educators, we must take control of the situation to protect our students.

With students being able to do more and more things with technology and online and practically living online. There have come to be more issues than just predators, cyber bulling. If it wasn't bad enough kids have learned how to reach each other through different means of communication. It is even said that some students won't say anything in the classroom or in person but they won't hesitate to say something mean online. This must come to an end! Students need to learn that words are harmful no matter the source it's coming from.
