I just wanted to share with you today what I learned about the concept of copyright. Copyright is essentially a law that reserves the rights of any digital media found online. It prohibits the use of copying, distributing, performing, displaying, or adapting any form of digital media. Fortunately, copyright laws do allow fair dealing in Canada. This means that there are many pieces of digital media out there in the world where the author has given permission for people to use their work for purposes, such as research and private study, providing that it is not being used for commercial use.
An important aspect of copyright that I feel would be very important to teach my students is that there are so many different resources to guide you through understanding whether a certain piece of digital media is appropriate and safe to use for other purposes. This is a serious topic, however, my students should not feel afraid of using digital media and I will always be there to support them and guide them to understanding all necessary aspects of copyright. Attached are some fun photos that I found with copyright laws that allow me to post them if they are properly sited.
