This week we discussed copyright at great length. I am interested in how to better teach this concept to other teachers that I work with.
I think the most important part of this concept for me is helping teachers to understand that modeling respect for copyright law speaks much louder than any plagiarism lectures or red marks on student projects. In order to expect students to respect the work of others, we need to model that respect in our own teaching and presentation materials.

Here's a great video that was shared in class explaining copyright law and fair use: http://youtu.be/CJn_jC4FNDo
As a side note, I wrote this post using the new Weebly app for iPhone. I am very interested in seeing how well this works.
