DG1: COPYRIGHT

Did you know every original piece of media form on the internet is copyrighted in North America? The creation of graphics, video clips, audio recordings, and other digital multimedia, can only be used by the creator itself unless otherwise given permission to use it. Can you imagine the inconvenience of having to contact and gain permission of every media form before using it? I have learned through Genius Hour that users can obtain others work through the creators release of copyright licenses.

As an educator, I feel it is necessary to stress the importance of not plagiarizing off others, and instead, thinking for ourselves. It is our responsibility to set an example of authenticity, while promoting the use of the Copyright Act when students are using other peoples work.
