After todays tutorial with Linda and Jacqui, i thought i had better quick smart come and remove my groovy little Ipod. I must admit it was hard to hit that delete button, but i felt as if it had to be done. I had not considered the degree of complexity involved with copyright laws in the school environment and i have learnt some extremely vital information.
However, i really liked the visual look of my Ipod, so my mind began to tinker. I considered the alternatives and possibilities of what i could do to negotiate these copyright regulations. I finally reached the conclusion that if i were to change the music to appropriate 'educational' content that i could use in my classroom, and for university purposes, there would be no implications.
During my 'tinkering' i recalled information i read while creating my Flickr account, about a copyright license from 'Creative Commons'. Creative commons is a shared culture that preserves identity. It gives people the right to exercise their own copyright prohibitions while providing a connection for users all over the world. Have a look at what creative commons have to say.

Hey Kerri, I felt the same way when I came home. I think I might be going to jail tomorrow for the amount of stuff I have used over the years. I to have gone back in and changed some of the photos that I have used. Have a great weekend, see you next week. Blog looks great.

Hello Kerri, I also found it hard to delete my Ipod. But I would prefer to remove it off my page then break any copyright laws.
