WebQuest1: Copyright and Fair Use of online resources
Introduction
As more students and
teachers publish Webpages, we need to consider the resources from which we
gather images, sounds, etc. We also
need to acknowledge the ownership of Intellectual Property such as the creative
writings and artistic designs of the work we publish online in webpages. In this Webquest you will discover:
·
Whether you can legally use
the images, sounds, and text found online in your creative projects,
·
The purpose of Copyright
·
Whether you will have the
opportunity to have work © copyrighted
·
And how to properly cite
information you use from online resources
