Wk2 MAC Wimba - Copyright - PLP

Wordle Word Cloud: Created by Francine Jackson

Basically, week 2 Wimba was a recap of wk 1 reading and activities. Joe provided an assessment/review of the information that each of us should have gleaned from our 1st week's activities. All of the discussions regarding copyright, fair use and creative commons facilitated me in reflecting on how Joe phrased it, "the black & white of copyright. As copyright continues to be defined, challenged, revised, augmented and rephrased, it is our job as educators to pass on what we have received on this matter to our learners,  so that they are not definitively infringing upon copyright laws, fair use and creative common guidelines.  Furthermore, we can facilitate augmenting the population of people worldwide to be proactive in checking guidelines of copyright prior to downloading or copying.

Joe asked us to look ahead at the PLP so that we can get started. We will post blogs about the process and our decisions. We can also choose another publication that is not listed for us to choose from but I believe we need approval from first.

Thanks to Rick Stemple, we learned more about copyright and music, additionally we heard about when graduation is scheduled.  Friday, Sept 30, 2011, and Joe was able to confirm the date but not the time.The question was raised whether we would have grades in time to graduate and the response was yes because this month our CBR/AR websites need to be 99.9% complete. If any of our sites do not meet the requirements, those names will be put back in the hat to retake mth 11.
