Copyright
In our last class we learned how to embed a video into a post and it reminded me of how simple it is to share information on the Internet. This lesson is reminding me of how easy it is to steal it. It's incredible that I did not fully understand terms like Creative Commons License before now considering how long I have been using the Internet as a professional tool. And I am sure I am not the only one. I was definitely unaware that a Youtube video had to have a CC license if I want to use it for a lesson, or that it could be one of six different types of licenses!

I think it's very important to teach students that copyright exists everywhere and stress how vital proper citation is. I had two teachers in grade twelve who made sure we all understood the forms of citation that university professors would expect of us and as a result I was better prepared for the serious consequences that came with improper citation.
