This week has been pretty interesting. It's going to be a pretty interesting month actually. I am due at the end of this month and have been trying to keep up with all the assignments and having them completed as early as I can during the week. After all the work I've put in this week, it's going to be a tough month for me. But I am determined, since this is the last of two classes and on to graduation.
The reading on copyright issues was very interesting, more interesting than I thought it was going to be. I even had a conversation about it with my husband during a show we were watching. Reading some of my classmates thoughts on the matter made me think about the topic slightly different, and brought up some other thoughts that I didn't even think about originally.
Looking forward to what the rest of the class will bring. Next thing to work on is my AR website. Got to finalize a few things and hopefully it will be ready for approval for the month.

Hi Melville,
I am also a Special Education Teacher and the last month of school is very busy. I teach students with learning disabilities in an inclusive setting. Congrats on the little one to come and you are certainly doing the right thing in completing your assignments as early as you can.

Since we are reading and discussing copyright, I thought this was the perfect time to get feedback on an ongoing problem with students today. I teach 8th grade Computer Literacy and I think I really have some really great students. I teach a three week unit on Copyright where we discuss what is copyright, what can and cannot be copy-written, and fair use guidelines. Our students have a lot expected of them and are required to complete Science and History Fair projects where they must do research. The problem is when doing their research, they tend to just copy just what they see instead of rephrasing and/or siting their sources.
This really becomes a problem when they attempt to compete in district and state fairs and are often disqualified because of copyright issues. Some say they are too young to really understand that using someone else's material and claiming it as their own is not really a big problem. But they tend to understand everything else.
Please feel free to comment on this issue your thoughts and or solutions. Thanks
