Copyrights

Copyrights are a lot stricter than I thought.  I was surprised that even if you own a movie and show it in the classroom not for educational use it is illegal.  I have always watched a lot of movies before breaks and on random days in school.  Outside of school people are always using other people’s things and going off of it, I think this starts to run into plagiarism with copying other peoples work.  As a teacher I think it is our responsibility to talk to students and make them aware of what the laws are and what can and can’t be done.  I think Jeopardy is a good and fun way to help students learn also having the students do a research paper and site all the sources.
