What is Intellectual Property?

Anything you can create becomes your intellectual property
A drawing, a story, a picture, a dance – if you’ve created it then it is yours
Much of what people create can be found online for free
BUT that doesn’t make it yours to use.
What is Copyright?

All your original work automatically has a “Copyright”
That means no one else can use your work without your permission
If you take someone’s copyrighted work without their permission, you can get in a LOT of trouble
It’s like stealing
For people like artists and musicians who make money from their work, this can be a real problem

As the creator of something, you have a right to choose where it is shown and how it is shown
Kids have the same rights as adults
BUT remember….once you post something you have created to a public site, you don’t always have control of how others use it
THINK before you POST
But, what if
you’ve
created something
really cool that you
WANT to share with
your friends online?
Creative Commons
So…
……
Bill C-11 is waiting to pass – it will change the Canadian copyright laws with regards to education
In the meantime, when you can, look for a Creative Commons symbol
DO NOT rip off artists!
Learn how to properly cite all your sources (web pages, books, photos, music, etc)
Coming to a classroom near you….(on
Thursday) Citations and
bibliographies…oh my!
