Copyright and Fair Use Policy, Cyber Bullying, Netiquette

After reading a bit on the Copyright and Fair Use Policy in great detail I learned a lot. I have known a little about the policy but never to this detail.  There were a lot of things that I did not think it would cover and what extent you could use of the material. I learned that some of my old classes were super restricted and I understand now why they only used portions of videos clips, poems, and such. I am a gamer and I know of cyber bullying. While I know of how bad cyber bullying can be. If I recall sometime in the past a several kids actually committed suicide because of cyber bullying. I feel it is a big deal with us moving toward a more technology based society. And I learned more of how to recognize some symptoms of cyber bullying and how to prevent it, which should be taught at an early age and parents should take note of it. Netiquette is a big deal for me. Personally I view it and treat it as if I were talking to a person face to face. And people should pay attention to it more. To me it is what I was taught growing up and should be handled like that. Basically to treat as if it were face to face with people.

How I feel about Copyright and Fair Use Policy, Cyber Bullying, Netiquette. For copyright and fair use policy I feel it’s too constrictive on teaching. Only using a certain portion from papers and such can be taken and used out of the context it was meant to. To me these should be reevaluated on the account of what they are teaching and should be extended on a case by case basis. For the cyber bullying I feel internet security should be a big priority to teach at an early age and teachers and parents should also be learning to deal with it and how to recognize if it is happening to someone. For netiquette its simple for me treat it as you were talking to someone face to face. That is how I view it and should be learned at an early age. These topics are a lot to discuss about the copyright and fair use policy can be taught later but the cyber bullying and netiquette should be taught early and roughly at the same time. And it is the parents and teacher to respond correctly and be able to identify what is happening along with how to deal with it.
