I really enjoyed Larry Lessig’s video. He argues that it is important to take content\/music and create something new. \u00a0That is how we learn and create. An idea enables us to create a new one, enhance one, remix one or modify one. As an instructor, I want precisely that. I want my students to get my content, spread it and use it often. I want to spread my knowledge.<\/p>\n
I also agree with Lessig when he states that no one should be able to take someone’s work, package it and sell it for profit. I am fairly aware of copyrighted material and I strongly encourage my student to be conscious about plagiarism and using content that does not belong to them. Copyright laws are in my opinion very vague and after reading chapter 8 I felt a bit more educated on the matter. As I get more into online teaching, I know more questions about copyright and intellectual property will arise.<\/p>\n
Open Educational Resources (EOR) are great. I in fact have bookmarked and downloaded many free resources. I spent a great deal of time searching the vast amount of interesting resources for Spanish. Here are some links for Spanish resources: http:\/\/www.gutenberg.org\/ebooks\/search\/?query=spanish<\/a> and\u00a0https:\/\/archive.org\/search.php?query=spanish<\/a><\/p>\n Over all this week was extremely informative, and I am pleasantly surprise for the resources provided to us. For next week I am thinking of uploading a Slideshare. It will be a very interesting week as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I really enjoyed Larry Lessig’s video.
