Last week we learned more about Digital images and copyright laws. This information is very helpful, because as teachers we can't expect our students to not plagiarize if we ourselves are doing it. While for the most part our educational resources will not be checked by a board of people seeing if we took material from other sources, it is important to bring new ideas and activities to the table. We can use some material, images, etc in our lessons and examples for students as long as we give credit to those sources. As long as we are doing our best to not cheat the system we can expect the same from our students.
In creating our digital story we have found ourselves filled with ideas that will take up a lot of time and space, and we are trying to figure out how to weed down our ideas. In searching for pictures for the story we have had a little difficulty getting away from the Disney pictures, but having more mythological images will help make it more realistic and take the students' minds off of the Disney version as much of the little mermaid. We are still trying to figure it out, and trying to keep those copyright rules in mind!
