Week 2 WIMBA Archive
I wasn’t too happy that I missed Wimba last Wednesday but a lot of
changes are occurring in my department that forced me to miss it. I am hoping
this is not the case for the remainder of the WIMBA sessions.
Again the videos provided in regards to Copyright laws were insightful
and helpful. This new knowledge has inspired me to create a presentation
detailing copyright laws because my students who are training to be graphic
designers must understand, respect, and apply this law towards their craft and
yes, Creative Commons and its 11 different flavors will be a resource used in
my classroom. Rhonda, I agree that education within this subject matter must
take place early on in the education system due to the digital culture we live
in. After gaining such detailed
knowledge of Copyright laws, it was shocking to see the lack of information presented
and given to us for our students in the Graphic Design and Animation program.
Fair Use is a subject
matter that I need to continue to gain knowledge in because I still get
confused with the restrictions of it. However, it’s an important aspect of
Copyrights to know, especially in the field of Graphic Design so that incidents
like what happened with Shepard
Fairey, who created the Obama poster, do not happen to my students.
