D#7 copyright TWC301

  • Briefly review subjects covered in last lesson: plagiarism, proper citation and paraphrasing, honesty and trustworthiness in school research and writing.
  • “Who owns copyrighted materials such as movies, music, and web pages?” Tell students that the copyright owner is the person who created the work, e.g. author, musician, artist, computer program/game creator, scientist-inventor, business person, etc.
  • Next ask the class if they are familiar with the Happy Birthday song. Inform them that this song is protected by copyright

  • Copyright is a form of legal protection given to the authors of books, music, movies, etc. Users of the books may not make copies without permission from the authors except in limited occurrences for school and personal use where there is no profit involved. This limited use is known as Fair Use which we will talk about shortly.
  • The digital aspect of the web allows for wonderful innovations such as MP3 players but ethical personal use must be employed to avoid legal punishment.
  • The RIAA, the professional organization which represents the recording companies, (Recording Industry Association of America), has reacted with copyright infringement legal actions against schools and college students. Have you noticed the warnings posted on music CDs or movie DVDs?
  • Now there are more legal ways for music customers to purchase their music online with services such as iTunes, Rhapsody, amazon.com, etc. There are even some legitimate free music download examples. For example, some unknown bands may provide free previews online. While other more popular bands or singers may post a sample tune for fans to hear for free.
  • Copyright and Fair Use, inform the students that the expert speaker is an attorney that helps students and professors at a university to learn about the ethics and Fair Use guidelines of copying digital information such as music, movies, or web content for school.

    This is a good example of how copyright is explained.  The comic shown in this article is very cute and original, gives us an idea of how we can copyright without knowing.

      The missing concept from the other sites is reviewed here, that is project management. It involves in having a "leader" as a point of reference to guide the project on the intended path. This is the first thing that is established.

      This is a good comparable site to part of our team writing text. Several factors like editing and proofreading relate more to the details in part 2 chapter 6 in revising team member's work. In relation to part one it does express organization from the beginning and accountability. We have to set deadlines and brainstorm how to structure collaboration for this assignment.
  • Team writing makes invention strategies public and explicit (brainstorming, listing, outlining). Team writing encourages multiple perspectives and multiple drafts. Team writing demands revision, analysis of revision strategies, and makes revision public and explicit. Team writing focuses on the presentation of the final product, encouraging editing and proofreading. Team writing allows writers to recognize differences in style, tone, organization among different writers. Team writing forces writers to reflect on their own and others' strengths, weaknesses, and individual styles and processes of writing. Team writing demands analysis of rhetorical and stylistic choices.
  • FACTORS in SUCCESSFUL TEAM WRITING the degree to which goals are clearly articulated and shared the degree of openness and mutual respect among group members the degree of control writers have over the text the degree to which writers can respond to others who may modify the text the way credit (directly or indirectly) is given an agreed-upon procedure for responding to work in process and for revising/editing
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Set deadlines for drafts; devote one whole team meeting to responses/revision of drafts. Develop, as a team, a series of questions for each reader to ask about other writers' drafts; decide, as a team, what you want to look for in each writer's draft Before distributing drafts to the team, each writer should provide a cover letter with the draft, explaining what she/he tried to accomplish, pointing out strengths/weaknesses, and asking readers specific questions about problem areas. Write back to each writer and be prepared to discuss your responses. Provide both positive and negative feedback to writers. Be descriptive, pointing to particular sections or sentences, providing suggestions for revision and explanations of those changes.
  • As the team projects progress, ask students to monitor their progress in writing, by submitting weekly minutes, for example.
  • PLANS FOR COMPLETION What tasks are left to do? How have you divided/assigned them? What do you still need to find? Do you have enough/too much material for your presentation? TEAM PROCESS Describe the way your team is working together. How have you organized the work? Division of tasks? Lead writer? Lead researcher? Lead presenter? Any problems in the team process?

    The flow of the page can be seen through the repetition of boxed information throughout the store page. The surrounding edge consisting of mainly text keeps the center of the page, filled with images, at focus with the flow of information/products

    This webpage touched on the idea of public domain. I think it goes hand in hand with the two other websites that I bookmarked about Copyright and Fair Use. It also presented different sections that contain information about public domain in different countries, modified works, and compilations among other things.
