Homework:

Part 1:
Blog/Wiki/Quiz Assignment - Copyright and Creative Commons

• Make a fairly extensive (150-200) words), thoughtful and well-informed entry on your Blog discussing something new you learned in the copyright presentation today. Pick an issue related to copyright and briefly give both sides of the issue. Tell where you stand and why.

• After you have completed your entry, take your class's link to the Copyright page on our Wiki. Compose a college-level question about copyright/CC. Your question should be multiple choice answer format with three possible answers. Format the correct answer in green, the "distracter" answers in red. Be clever, accurate and creative. Do not repeat a question as you add to the page. 

• To check your knowledge of copyright, go to this on-line quiz. It's fun and informative. There is a document in your 8copyright folder that has a place for your score and your certificate. Type in your score (everyone should make 22/22 eventually), and take a screen shot of your certificate of completion!
