We have to respect copy rules because that is somebody who has put in time and effort into there work or creation and it belongs to them. The constitutions gives us the freedom to speech but not copy someone else or there work. Without these rules in place then not only would people have a hard time getting credit for there work but it would be a free for all to copy other peoples work. I think i would teach my students that successes dosen't come easy u have to work hard for what u want. And also stress the fact that it is easy to cheat but you will never get any satisfaction from it. And explain why these rules are in effect for that reason.
Online safety is a little different than cyber bullying in the fact u can do things too help protect your self from things online like not give out personal info too people or sites u don't trust. Where as cyber bullying is something that someone u know can say things to you or miss up personal things up for you online. Such as chat lines are a real good example as well as facebook which everyone knows about and maybe even on line dating sites. Safety can apply to these sites as well because u want to be really careful with what kind of information u put out there because u never know who your talking to for sure. So overall just be careful about what u say and how much info u give out while on these sites or online period.
I thought this week activities were very helpful with learning a little more about technology and online safety. And there were a few things i learned that i didnt know as well as helping me remember about the things that i did know. Things are very different with technolgy these days and there are alot of predtors out there especaily with the way the economy is people always looking to take other peoples things and money u have too be really careful.
I agree with you that it is easy to cheat but it will never get you anywhere. Our students need to know that they will always have a chance to claim somebody's work as their own, or have a chance to cheat off of someones test. We must set good examples as teachers for our students and make clear the consequences they will face for their actions.
ReplyDeleteI like that you talked about cheating and that you will not get the same satisfaction as you would from creating your own work. That is very important to note and to teach the students. It is so easy to cheat when using the internet, but you are only cheating yourself. Your education is yours alone. You are the one that can make it great, or you can just cheat and never learn anything.
ReplyDeleteI agree. We share ideas on much of this topic. With the ease of copying things off the internet it is very important to teach students the different laws. It is vital that we as educators understand these laws in order to teach our students.
