December 10

Well done Year 10! It was great seeing your final products added to your blogs.


This morning we have a problem to work out - and that is copyright infringements.


We need to do an investigation on copyrights.

1) What is a copyright?

2) What is the purpose of a copyright?

3) Can images have a copyright? Explain your answer.

4) Are there any images that do not have a copyright? Explain.

5) Search for 2 websites where that have free use images. Write the URL and we will compile a list for class use.

6) What is the easiest way to avoid problems with copyright infringements?

Let's take a look at this information posted on the Smithsonian's site: http://smithsonianimages.si.edu/siphoto/siphoto.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=content&contentpath=copyright.html

Let's" discuss our findings so we can proceed in an informed way;-)


Record your findings on your blog.

Our next mini-lesson will be to utilize Publisher2007 and create a Holiday newsletter. Choose a holiday that you would like to share with your cyberaudience and let's go . . .
