COPYRIGHT AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

COPYRIGHT EXPLAINED

Copyright is the sole right that the owner of an original work has, to produce or reproduce it or substantial part of it in any form (Canadian intellectual property, (2015). I have heard a number of people claiming that, it is possible to get every information online for free. This is not the case. Yes, it is true that in the digital world we live today there are lots of information on the internet that seem available to use. However, most of this information is copyright protected and using it without permission from the owner may put one in unpalatable situation.

 

Accordingly, it is necessary to educate our students especially those teenagers in secondary schools (who are more vulnerable on the internet environment) about copyright issues. This electronic poster highlights and explains at least 8 concepts related to copyright. The poster is specifically addressed to high school students.

 

I choose Glogster to create this poster over other tools like  Ease.ly and PosterMyWall because:

1. It has very many nice templates to choose from.

2. It can embed audio-visual materials.

3. It is very easy to customize as its editor is friendly.

4. It is easy to navigate.
