Song lyrics

Every time that you copy info
Make you sure give credit to the author
I wrote this song giving credit to Derulo oh
Yeah the words they flow
And the credits they go
And the credits they go
Yeah the credits they go

Da da, da ra ra da, da, da
Da, ra, ra, ra, da, da
Da da, da ra ra da, da, da
Da, ra, ra, ra, da, da
They go


Fair use is a doctrine
that let's you copy stuff (copy stuff)
It's a first amendment right
That can be a parody (parody)
It's also commentary and
Criticism (critcism)

Something enters public domain
When you post it all online
Post it online
If someone dies you can have their rights
As long as you make sure not to fight


Every time that you copy info
Make you sure give credit to the author
I wrote this song giving credit to Derulo oh
Yeah the words they flow
And the credits they go
And the credits they go
Yeah the credits they go
Da da, da da da da [7x]
They go

Public domain is a safety valve
In copyright laws
Copyright lawwws
Make sure you give creds to the author
If you don't wanna go to jail
For stealing someone's work

Make sure if you copy info you give
Rights to the author otherwise
You're plagiarizing and that's just not cool


[Bridge:]
Every time that you copy info
Make sure you cite your source
Show where you got the info
Ohhhhh

Applying Digital Citizenship to a Video

In creating a video, there are many things to be cautious of and becoming aware of  giving credit to the original holders information. For instance, since I borrowed pictures from Google, I needed to make sure that I cited the information so the original got the credit instead of me stealing all the glory. In copyrighting something, the creator has all rights reserved to his or her work that they created. When I borrow information, I am applying fair use because I'm making sure I give credit to the original creator. Even in the small things like using a slide transition, there are people who have created the transitions like the Ken Burns, who get credit for their transitions. Since public domain is basically a safety net to make sure all work is copyrighted and not plagiarized there are some things that I have used that are most likely in public domain. Most works are in the public domain because they are old and the person with the rights has either died or their rights have expired. In annotating something, often at times students will underline and highlight things to make sure their point get across. For example, in a book, I might underline an important sentence to show that I need to remember the significance of it. For annotating a song, I need to have the name of the artist, the year and album title, the copyrights that the album has, and also how I have digital citizenship and I'm not stealing their song.

Copyright Questions

When talking about copyright, sometimes the lines get blurred a little bit. People don't know when they have to give credit to the original author and it turns into a huge mess. Looking at some questions to copyright, some of the lines become more sharp. For example when was copyright created? Copyright was originally created in 1709 beginning with a law called the Statue of Ann. A few key examples of intellectual property are patents, trademarks, and copyrights. The copyright symbol protects the piece of work that the original copyright holder has created. The holder can make sure that all people who use his/her piece give credit to the holder. You don't need to have an intellectual property registered in order to have a copyright. The article that was posted Or written already has a copyright online and is protected by online. Fair use allows copyrighted materials for the purpose and character of use, the nature of the work, the amount copied, the effect on the market, and for any music. When something says you have public domain it means that you have all the rights to the published item. It is protected by the government and you have all rights entitled to yourself.

Fair use is giving credit to the person who originally posted the information. In pertaining to this project, we have to make sure that the original author has the credit so we don't get in trouble otherwise we would be plagiarizing. The Supreme Court ruled that parodies fall under the fair use defense. What you can do to prevent copyright is ask permission first, prove that your work falls under the first amendment, out free speech protection on it.

Defining

Copyright- when someone writes something and they have the right to share it and anyone else has the right to read and use it as well. Usually at the beginning of a book and it says all rights reserved.
At the beginning of books it will say in the first pages who the copyright is of someone.
Fair use- when someone writes something and other people have he right to use it.
Public domain- when someone writes or posts online it is shown to the world and the world can use it.  Like for example, right now someone could use these awfully defined words in their own context.
Plagiarism- when someone has written something and it is copied and pasted onto someone else's work. For example, when writing a paper I completely copy and paste someone else's paper that I found online and put my name on it even though it's not mine.
Citations- when you use a picture or quote from someone else and you're writing a paper or doing a presentation, you must give credit to the person that originally created it.
"You gave me a forever within my limited number of days." (The Fault In Our Stars, page 75, John Green)
Attributions- to chalk it all up. Like everything wrapped up all together. "I give attributions to my book that I read."

In order to create a cool powerpoint that engages the entire audience, I knew I needed to pull out all the stops. The task seemed simple enough and I was determined to achieve excellence. I had to download the Prezi app, set up an account, and insert text and pictures into the actual presentation itself. I knew that it was going to be interesting trying to create the Prezi and although it seemed to be a breeze, there were still difficulties. I could not insert more than one picture into a slide and I also wanted to add music to make the whole presentation a little more interesting but I couldn't get it to work. I enjoyed toying with the background and template designs of the presentation but I just felt like I was unable to fully exhibit my abilities in technology. I chose to use a Prezi because it was different than your average PowerPoint and I fully enjoyed using the app itself. In this process I knew that I had to stay focused, which sometimes can be a challenge, and I needed to make sure that any and all objectives were met. I didn't want to overload one slide on text so I bullet pointed the text in order for me to stay on topic when presenting and not overkill on all the words. It was quite an experience but using Prezi made the whole thing possible.

Prezi Presentation

Being assigned to create some sort of presentation, I at first, was apprehensive. I thought, "Here we go, another waste of time." I was surprised at first to find that there was some sort of freedom and enjoyment in showing what I am capable of making, technology wise. I decided to create a Prezi because it's off the beaten path of typical presentations. It was quite easy to create and use the presentation and made it a little more interesting than your average, typical presentation. I thought overall, as a general statement, that I met the goals and objectives required to meet. I decided to buckle down, use my time wisely and knock this assignment out of the park. I inserted pictures from my life to make the presentation a little more personal. Overall, I was able to display my knowledge of a presentation and clearly articulate what I can do. I got my iPad all hooked up to Prezi and from there I created my presentation. I thought not only did I meet the requirements for the presentation, but in some aspects, I went above and beyond in exceeding the expectations. I exhibited to the best of my ability how to effectively answer the questions required while not boring the audience. Here was the first slide,  with a cool color scheme and hard work it drew in the audience and enabled them to focus and enjoy my presentation.
