What?
This week we learned about Creative Commons, which is an online resource that provides a free, public, and standardized infrastructure that creates balance between the reality of the Internet and the reality of copyright laws.
So What?
Creative Commons means the world to teachers. It opens up the door as far as utilizing and benefitting from the Internet without dealing with harsh copyright laws. Accessibility, productivity, and development are all greatly increased by this helpful site. You can choose from their different licenses, depending on which elements you want, and use then for things you produce.
Now What?
Creative Commons will be extremely helpful to me as a future teacher. When I create something, or if I assign my future students to create something, this site allows that work to be protected. This site will help me in the future because it provides its users with a simple, easy way to work within the boundaries of copyright laws. The creators of Creative Commons have done all the work for you so you can be creative and safe.

What?
This week in Instructional Media, we learned all about Copyright laws.
So What?
Copyright laws mean a lot to teachers and the education system. They place many restrictions on what teachers can and cannot do or use. We were introduced to this topic because it will effect us in our future teaching careers very often. We need to learn about them now so that as we start planning and putting lessons together, we can stay within the bounds of Copyright and the law.
Now What?
Copyright laws will make it so I have to be an aware and creative teacher - aware as to what I can or cannot use, and creative as to coming up with new ideas of Copyright laws make it so I can't use or do something. Learning about Copyright was extremely interesting to me. I didn't know much about it before this week, but now I know that close to everything is illegal - even taking one of your DVDs over to a friend's house. Now that I know about Copyright, I will do my part in following those rules, in the classroom or otherwise.
