6.1: Research project - Copyright vs. Copy-share

 * Step 1:** Using the above readings, video, and your own Internet research, create a persuasive paper or presentation on the copyright-versus-copy-share debate and history.
 * Present which side you weigh in on.
 * Present both sides of the copyright issue and add in your personal opinions on this topic.
 * Predict where you see this controversy evolving in the future.
 * Support your thesis with researched evidence and provide an APA citation of your resources.
 * This project should be approximately five pages or 20 slides.


 * Step 2**: Post your paper on the into the chart below.


 * Step 3**: Read one or more of your colleagues papers.

6.2: Discussion - Copyright vs. Copy-share

 * Step 1:** Post your thesis statement on your support for strict copyright adherence or the move toward copy-share licensing to the Discussion Forum. Respond to both sides of the argument by playing devil's advocate to help you and your peers thoroughly explore all sides to this topic.

Step 2: Finalize your discussion with a brief reflection (a couple of paragraphs) of what you have learned from your research and discussion and how it will affect your instruction and future web development. Share what license you will put on your WordPress website.

6.4: Discussion - Repository Recommendations
�Sell� your favorite repository to the class. Pitch your sale using online presentation software such as Voicethread (http://Voicethread.com) or Glogster ( http://Glogster.com). Present the image repository you liked the best, what elements you found useful, and why this repository met your needs. Share the presentation link with your peers on in the table below and give each other feedback on your findings. You should come away with an understanding of several different repository resources.

=
//** Please provide the links to the repositories which you are discussing. Comment on the specific elements you found useful and specific reasons how you found the repositories to meet your needs. I want more then "I like this one"; give information on what you learned. **//====== The most difficult part of using a repository is not finding exactly what you want and spending a lot of time with no or few results. Sometimes, just making your own pictures may be simpler, but you would have to be careful about getting the rights for the images of kids. ||
 * ====**Student**==== || ====**Presentation Link**==== ||
 * Betty || I liked the creative grounds, everystockphoto and advanced google repositories. The copyright issues are not as difficult with the creative grounds images and they pull from a lot of different sites (google, flickr, �).The every stock photo had really good choices of pictures that were pulled from different sites. They were also marked with the level of copyshare. The advanced google is much better than basic repositories because the search filters save a lot of time. It is quite difficult to find the exact image you are looking for, so the filters really help. The one I liked best from the google cc repositories was the [|__http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/nmp/sonet/resources/image_repositories.html__] link.
 * Curt || After viewing several repositories, I find that most are very similar in their scope and purpose. The one that I believe is the most helpful to me is www.everystockphoto.com. Like other sites, it draw searchable photos from many different databases (flickr, Wikipedia, morguefile) and depending on the licensing requirements (which are clearly posted along with instructions on who cite, if necessary) includes HTML code with the attribution if a user would prefer to embed a photo. The site includes a variety of photos within my subject matter area and robust advanced search options to use to narrow search criteria. If you sign up for a free account, it also allows a user to create photos collections where images may be saved for further viewing or reference. ||
 * Faye || [|Wikipedia Commons] and [|Google Images Advanced] Were my two favorite image databases to use. For me they were the easiest to navigate through and had the most pictures to choose from. When I used the advanced search, I could filter through all the copyright issues easilly and pull up only the photos I could use in my website freely. When I used Flickr I only got a handful of photos to choose from and I did not like that. Like Marica I found Google to have the most to choose from and the easiest to get to. ||
 * Joe || Free digital photos and wiki commons were the two sites that I found relevant to my search of images. Many of the images were photos or digitally enhanced images. The images were somewhat modern and relevant to science content. Sometimes searching though repositories is difficult but using key word searches helped make the challenge a little less difficult. ||
 * Marcia || Flickr and Google Advanced Search are my favorites and I find myself using them all of the time, except now I use the filter for creative commons. The reason that I like these best is that the search function is easier than most of the other repositories that I looked at. When I search images, I usually need things fast because I am working on a project for a student that //they// are working on in the classroom **at the moment.** Google seems to search through everything, being a great big umbrella. Flickr has good quality images. ||
 * Michelle || [] and [] are my favorites. The creative commons includes searches for the other sites such as Flickr, Google, Wikimedia, etc. I enjoy the wikimedia community portal because it includes the news, policies/decisions, and communications about current ideas and findings related to copy-shared items. The recommendations and how to's on that page is helpful to me as well so I can focus on the task I'm working on and not get lost surfing the web for hours as I have in the past. Creative commons.org seems to the the big daddy or "parent" portal to all others. ||
 * Mike || [|www.google.com] is my favorite. I tried using some of the other searches but for the most part I always come back to google. Using the advanced search help me to really focus on a particular type of picture. When looking for things I could use on my math website I kept having to sift through pictures that contained alot of colors or were the wrong size. As I started advancing my search I was able to find pictures that I thought would fit my site more appropriately. ||
