Thing #23

I had noticed this earlier, but honestly failed to realize its significance. This whole project is an example of someone else's work being modified from its original form.
*Note: This project is loosely based upon the website 43Things (which allows you to set and track personal goals) and the Stephen Abram article titled 43 Things I (or You) might want to do this year (Information Outlook - Feb 2006).

I plan on using the excellent "A Fair(y) Use Tale" copyright law video from " The 23 Things" in my class as well as the tutorial I am developing for another assignment in my class. I was frighteningly ignorant about all this. I admit I am flabbergasted. I feel certain that my students are as in the dark as I was about this issue. I know they will benefit from a better understanding of copyright law. I am sure that whatever future classes they take, they will be expected to conform to these rules, and I hate to think how naive most people are in this area. With the growth in computer power and the ease of copying intellectual property, it is becoming more and more important that these rights are understood and respected.
