VALIDITY among Internet Sources
Have you ever unintentionally (or intentionally) cited an internet site that was non-existent? It is very easy these days to make-up website addresses that lead nowhere. OR, you can simply make a 'typo' that results in an internet address that is not real. These things can reflect a lack of intelligence and simply laziness. Another issue that comes along with making sure internet sites are valid is pre-viewing sources and websites before they are used in class or presentations. While sites may seem beneficial, they can sometimes be inappropriate or even simply a waste of time. Don't rely just on the name of a website-check it out for content before using it! You also want to be careful that the websites you use as sources are reliable. Anyone and everyone can create a website or post online-make sure you are getting your information from somewhere reliable (not a 10 year old).
Fair Use and Copyright
As a teacher, understanding that all sources and materials being used in the classroom must be used legally is very important. Not only is it against the law to use sources and materials without proper permission; it also sets a bad example to the students in your class. You cannot expect a student in your class to follow copyright laws and procedures if you, as the teacher, do not do that. Copyright and Fair Use standards require individuals to gain permission, or use sources that give permission, in different presentations-or however they're used in the classroom. It basically means giving credit to whomever the credit is due.
These rules do impact me more deeply because of my relationship with Christ. I know that Christ has called me to follow the laws and that is why it is important that I follow them.
