Homework:

Blog/Wiki/Quiz Assignment - Copyright

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, write a short college-level test question and answer based on the presentation information and post it in the class Wiki on your class's Copyright page. 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 6copyright 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!
