What I learned about Copyright

Copyright laws protect an individuals work and has been put into place in many countries around the world. Copyright notices or symbols do not need to be place on the work to ensure that these laws are followed. Creative Commons, an organization that was established to allow open sharing of information created six different licences that allow the creator to establish how the work is intended to be shared if applicable. There are four types of copyright; attribution, share alike, non-commercial and no derivative works which were established to group work into one of the six licenses that was created.

When teaching students about copyright the most important thing to teach them is that all information on the internet whether it is images or text is owned by someone. This would teach them that all information is property of the creator and there are certain steps that must be followed if they intend to use the content.
