I enjoyed watching your post this week Leslie. I completely agree that copyright issues can be very muddy. From both the student side and college side, copyright problems can arise. You right that many students do not even fully understand what counts as copyrighted material. I have had some students think that only copying from a textbook is bad but that all internet sources are fair game. The issue can also be tricky for faculty looking for resources online. Some websites are very strict about the use of their materials, while others are completely open to sharing. This is one muddy point indeed!
Great job on your post. I also thought that copyright was one of the muddiest issues that we can come across. There are so many ways for us to break a copyright law. I currently teach 5th grade and I am trying to teach them the basic- such as you can't just copy a paragraph from the internet and call it your own. I know it's a little overwhelming for them, but Im hoping that if I can teach them the basics now, then they will be able to build on that in the years to come.
I can certainly agree with you about the muddiest point is copyright issues. I feel that it is never to safe to cite everything. When I find myself writing a paragraph that is similar to the research I am conducting, I make sure to always reference it. I appreciate what you said about those who may use too much information in their work that may not be their own. I know that it can be easy to get caught in this trap. I will certainly make an effort to not fall into this category of copyright problems. Great video on this topic. I learned something new.
