In class we discussed copyright and plagerism. We talked about what it is, different examples of it, as well as jail sentance and fines.
Learning about this definitlely gave me a scare. I had no idea that showing a disney movie in my classroom could end up having me be sentanced to jail or have a huge fine by not filling out the proper paperwork as well as the approval needed. It has made me re-think things that I have shown in my presentations and lessons so far.
I am going to have to be extremely careful when I am a teacher of what I show my students. I need to be sure that I go through the necessary and appropriate procedures to get my information that I give or show approved. I could not believe the fine and jail sentance that is given for something so small, that I will be sure to get the right approval when the time comes. Learning about copyright gave me the scare I need to be sure that I dont try to sneak a movie or clip without getting the authorization needed.
