Assignment #9

At the beginning of the quarter, I was thinking about using the Miller website to teach an electrical lesson,but I wasn't sure how to go about it. After this class NO BIG DEAL!!! Computers truly make our jobs easier.

Assigmnment #8

This class has been GREAT!!!!! I have learned alot about the internet and what is out there. I thought I had decent computer skills prior to this class. This class has introduced me to things that are so much easier and less time consuming. I never thought building a web-site could be challenging and easy at the same time. The blog this quarter was actually kind of fun. I really learned a lot about how to add to and customize the site to a more personal level.

Assignment #4

Fair use is when a person can use copyrighted material without the owners approval in one of three ways.
First, a teacher can use it for nonprofit educational purposes

Ex. A teacher could teach a lesson using various documentary films, clipping them together to make one unique film. The teacher is still responsible to cite the sources appropriately and can not sell the modified film for a profit.

Second, in case of first sale
Once copyrighted material has been purchased the owner can lend, rent or lease the material.
Ex. Blockbuster purchases movies from various studios, they are then allowed to rent movies to their customers.

Third, material is being parodied, critiqued or commented on.
When an artist uses copyrighted material to mock a persons work or person usually in the form of a joke.
ex. Weird al makes numerous songs mocking other artists. However he asks the owner for their permission to use their material prior.

What is creative commons licensing
Creative common licensing is non-profit organization that allows people to share their crative work in a legal way.

Alternative licensing websites I think

The GNU Operating System

Open Source Licenses
