Copyright
Copyright is a very important and can be a very useful resource, especially for students. However, copyrighting can also be a huge pain to deal with, at the same time. As a student, I am aware of how citing something can be a huge pain, especially at 3 in the morning when you have your paper done, and you just want to get it printed. But at the same time, I understand why we need to copyright things. If there weren't copyrights, anyone could say that someone else's work was theirs, and there would be no argument. People should have the right to their own work and be proud to claim their work. However, even though there are copyright laws, there are some people who break these laws and do steal other people's work and claim it as their own. But just like any other law, there are consequences to breaking these laws. I think that copyright laws are very useful and should be monitored by everyone. I know that I wouldn't want someone taking my work, so why would you take someone else's?

I agree with what you have said about copyrighting. It can be annoying to have to deal with but it is definitely worth it to have materials that people do not think you are trying to steal or plagiarize. I think learning about Creative Commons is really important for us as future teachers and a great tool to use in the future. This information is something I think all people should know about and will be very important throughout our lives as teachers!
