Copyright

Copyright for teachers seems like a serious thing to take into consideration.  Growing up and going through the different grade levels I never thought they needed permission to show a movie.  There were times at the end of the year or before we went on break that a teacher would show us a movie that had no educational purpose.  They probably never got the copyright law approved to show the movie.  I am surprised that you need to ask to show a movie.  When you show the movie you don't normally think about all the details that go along with showing that movie.  The pre-school that I work at during the summer shows a movie every thursday.  I'm sure that they haven't asked permission to show those movies.  Outside the school enviroment there is all kinds of copyright laws with music.  If you share music that can be considered going against the copyright laws.  I think we should teach students about copyright laws so students can respect and understand what it means.  Having them play a jeopardy game like we played in class may help them understand how serious it can be.
