Creative Commons Search

The Creative Commons search was different than a regular Google search because the images were more appropriate and he wasn't in a Scooby-doo costume. This limits what I can do because there were fewer images to choose from.

Copyright and Digital Media

Our copyright laws in the United States can relate to the work in Digital Media. One example of the relationship between copyright laws and my work in Digital Media is I can't use someone's work and claim it as my own. If I were to copy someone's work then I would have to ask permission from the copyrights author before I intend to copy there work. As soon as I created a work in Digital Media I would own copyright of that work until 70 years after my death if I registered for copyright protection.

Writing Prompt

The Children’s Internet Protection Act requires all schools receiving certain federal funds to install and use blocking software to prevent students viewing material considered “harmful to minors.” I believe that the school should block access to certain websites because some of the material may be harmful to minors and it helps keep the students on task.

The reason I believe the school should block access to certain websites because some of the material is harmful to minors. Websites like Youtube have good tutorials but can also have some explicit material. Another reason the school should block access to certain websites is because it helps keep the students on task. If certain websites weren’t blocked than more students would get distracted and not do their work. 

Some citizens may say that schools should not install and use blocking software to prevent students viewing material because the websites that get blocked have the best tutorial videos. However, there are other websites that do have good tutorials and don’t have the harmful material to minors.

I have used a blog before in the third trimester last year. The reason I used it was for my Global Science class. We would use that blog to post all of our work and projects. Before I had a blog all that I used was my e-mail.
