After watching, Creative commons: What every Educator needs to know, I recognized that copyrighting happens. Do I think its good, of course not, but did I think it happen so often, not at all! The problem with copyright and how it affects our students of today, its easy to do. The short film talks about a video game, for example Halo, being a difficult game and people result to cheat codes to pass a game. This is teaching our students to constantly result in looking for a fast way out and allowing our students of the future to think, there is nothing wrong with the easy route. Classrooms and video games are very alike in comparison to finding short cuts to get work done. Educator need to find ways to make students think and I don't find a book find the right answer, not using Google.
So in the classroom, I think this routine is going to grow and not improve until educator find a different route to help kids besides the computer. The classroom may need to be a place where a large portion of work needs to be done, and less lecture. Reason, that students will have to find answers away from computers and using sole themselves or the instructor.
Lastly, Social network is a great way to meet people, find things about your old friends, and socialize. But it also can lead to discussion on how to pass and exam. Like the video stated, sharing vs. cheating, whats the difference? Is it okay? Where is the line between them? That a question that depends on the person and the content, in my point of view. I think, students that assist their peers by giving clues or background knowledge of the subject matter is good learning but giving another student a clear answers is cheating. Copyright is something that is not going to go away. Educator need to find a common language or guideline that promotes students to think logically without using cheat sheets. Maybe we can start by no making them for video games, who wouldn't want to play Call of Duty 4, straight up!
