Copyright

Hello everyone!
I am so excited to share with you the importance about Copyright and how we as teachers need to educate our students to cite their resources correctly. It is no surprise that the author of the original work has all the reserved rights, and in order to use their source, it must be obtained with a permission in order to display it over social media.  With technology growing rapidly, students are growing up using technology, and it is important to educate them the crucial ways to cite information.

What you and I need to know about Copyright.
According to the Copyright for Tech-Enhanced Teaching (Figg, 2013), Copyright is used to determine who has the right to copy and sell material. In this case, if you wanted to use videos, photos, music, audio recordings, print I shared, copright law is used to protect anything that belongs to me.

What I learned About Copyright and things you should learn too..
  • You are not entitled to show a video in class without acquiring public performance first.
  • You have to have a "Creative Commons License" that allows for distribution.
  • Must pay Copyright licensing company when handing out copyrighted photocopied documents to students in class.
What to teach about Copyright to students...
  •  If it is not yours, it is someone else's work!
  • Respect others work and creativity, don't take credit for their work!
  • Be the creator!
  • Ask to use their work!
  • Make it original and be creative with your own work!

Hello fellow explorers, I am so excited to start blogging about my upcoming adventures in all my classes with you! My name is May Ghalib, and I am a recent graduate from Brock University with a Kinesiology degree. Now you are probably curious to why a Kinesiologist is in teachers college? Well, I decided to start a new journey to my life and follow my true passion working with children. I worked in a physiotherapy and did not really enjoy it as much as I thought, as a lot of the work was very repetitive and dry. But here I am, relativity new to blogging and definitely excited for the teachers program, although it sucks being the ones stuck in it for two years, but I am sure we will all get through it together! My blogs will be dedicated to sharing my experience in my teaching career and sharing my new ways of learning in classroom settings and at placement. Stay tuned for my future blog posts, videos, lessons, and class activities. Also, if you have time, check out this quick shor...

What to do About Laundry When Backpacking ! !

Image
Living out of a backpack doesn’t lend itself to a stylish & extensive wardrobe. so, of course, you may have guessed it already that probably having 2 pairs of pants, 2 pairs of shorts, 8 t-shirts, 2 tank top shirts, and a sweater, the next question is usually “what do you do about laundry?” Actually it’s surprisingly easy to keep everything clean. There are 3 different laundry techniques I use with great success: The Sink Wash Approach: this method is pretty simple. Just fill up the sink, throw in some soap or detergent and then just wash your clothing using your hands. This can be done anywhere where you have a sink, and probably can do it if your couch surfing. The Coin-Operated Procedure: Pretty explanatory based on its title. Find the local's laundry machine. Depending where you are, it can vary from $2-5. Plastic/garbage bag wash: This one would be a universal, camping style wash. I've actually tried this method when I had to go camping for a leadership t...

Money saving tips when traveling to Europe

Hey guys, I just wanted to share my last post with you about how to save money when backpacking to Europe. Here are some general tips on saving money in Europe that I gathered.  Picnic –  This continent has a lot of little tiny shops where you can be pre-made sandwiches or ingredients to make your own. Buy some food, eat outside, and watch the city go by. It’s a much more enjoyable and cheaper way to eat rather than eating out everyday. Eat local and cheap –  Not into picnicking? That’s ok, there are other ways to save money on food. Eat a local sandwich shops, pizza parlors, Maoz, Wok to Walks, outdoor street vendors, and the like. Avoiding restaurants and eating at a lot of the local “grab n’ go” places will give you a taste of the local cuisine at a much cheaper price. Also, check out this YouTube video that gives a personal input on traveling to Europe with a budget: Couchsurf –  Hostels can add up really quick. If you don’t have any fr...
