My copyright Action Plan
I did not know that your emails are copyrighted, that choreography can by copy righted so no one can copy your routine and that you can not make more than nine copies of a worksheet that comes from a workbook for your class. If and when I want to copy a workbook for my students I will either buy my entire class a workbook so that each student can have their own or I will make up my own workbook for my students if I can't afford to buy each student a workbook. On copyrightkids.org it said that copyright law is a protection for the author or creator of their work. Once I send an email to someone my email is protected by copyright so that no one can change it except me. If I am making up a dance routine I will have to create my routine without copying another dance routine. If I want my students to do a worksheet that is in a workbook and I have more than nine students, then I will copy it to be able to project it on the overhead for the whole class to see. I had to save my emails that had very important information on it to use in a matter of a personal court issue. Now I understand why I had to pull my emails to use in a court setting to prove my side of the argument. I plan on abiding by the copyright laws and letting the authors have their credit by not copying worksheets off for my students unless I created them myself or print nine of them and have my students work in groups.
