Day 13 - Jan. 21 Computer Lab :)
Task 1: Today we will begin our conversation about copyright. What does copyright mean? What does copyright infringement mean? What are the penalties? Let’ start here. There will be sometimes in the future when you want to use a YouTube video in your final products! But don’t forget all of the copyright laws we just read about! Let’s see what Lumpy and the Lumpettes think!
Your task is to find a YouTuber that has rights to their products! At the video, click on the name of the contributor. From there - click on the ABOUT tab on the right. You should be able to find the following information to include in an email to emaxwell@seycove.ca
Your email must include:

• Name of YouTube Account
• Number of subscribers
• Number of views on the particular video you chose
• Date the video was uploaded
• Date that the YouTuber joined YouTube
• Date that you accessed the video
• a LINK to the video so I can see it
• Describe in your own words how you could ever use this video for your own use and why it is important to give credit to the original creators of videos.
Task 2: A few of you are missing things! If you think you know what you are missing, do it now! Otherwise, listen carefully for your name. Go back on this website to read the task you missed and catch up!
Task 3: We have one month left together. If we’re going to make an awesome final digital product, we need to learn how to use our tools to their greatest abilities! It’s time to get serious about typing!
Let’s watch the video below, remember the proper positions and postures, and start SLOW!
