C4Tp Post #2 (Silvia Tolisano)

  In Silvia Tolisano's blog,Langwitches, she shared a blog entitled, "Copyright Flowchart: Can I use it? Yes? No? If This...Then...In this blog post Tolisano discusses the ongoing battle with plagiarism and copyrights. Tolisano explains how it is our job as either current or future educator to ensure your students are giving credit where credit is due. As Tolisano says, just because it may be of of Google and you specifically are not making money off of it, it is still considered stealing someone else's work. As teachers, it is also our responsibility to be role models to our students about how to source and give credit to the artist effectively.

   After visiting Silvia's Tolisano's blog a week later she posted a blog entitled "Blogging as a Curation Platform." In this blog she discussed the influence blogging can have upon a student's education. When students blog, it expands their education platform. They can share the information they learn, as well as keep it organized. All of their information is in one place and they can easily access their own working links. Blogging within the classroom is a great tool for students to learn outside the classroom.
