For this week's TPACK Teacher Quest badge I was able to learn more about copyrights. For instances, I learned that copy right notices are not actually required, if you created a piece of work you are the only one with the rights to use it (Figg, 2013). Furthermore, I learned that as a Canadian teacher, I can only show videos in my classroom that have public performance rights. Any YouTube videos that I, or any other Canadian teacher may choose to show need to have a Creative Common license allowing them to be used, not just the standard YouTube license (Figg, 2013).

Through gaining this knowledge, I was also able to find what I believe to be the most important thing to teach students about copyrights, which is to create their own work, but also to know the proper ways of crediting the original creators of works they may use. I believe that this is not only important in terms of teaching students about laws, but also in teaching them morals and empathy, through understanding how others may feel when their hard work is being claimed or assumed to be someone else's.
