The digital media we all consume is the result of someone else's intellect and it is important to respect talent and give credit to those rights. Obtaining illegal copies of copyrighted software, movies and music is unethical behavior and one that students tend to forget in this age of instant access and unlimited resources at a digital disposal. Coinciding with this violation is the fact that too many students and Internet users, appropriate other people's work, images, and more without proper attribution. ]]> 2021-03-01 23:29:38 UTC https://padlet.com/victormuntean/fudgjnnj87bw1qg4/wish/1255886224 victormuntean https://padlet.com/victormuntean/fudgjnnj87bw1qg4/wish/1255907108 Getting information off the Internet is like taking a drink from a fire hydrant - Mitchell Kapor

Media, especially that found on the Internet is too often seen as "free." Since it is on the Web and there is some access to it, then one feels that they should have full access to it. ]]> 2021-03-01 23:46:03 UTC https://padlet.com/victormuntean/fudgjnnj87bw1qg4/wish/1255914112 Thinking of downloading that movie for free? victormuntean https://padlet.com/victormuntean/fudgjnnj87bw1qg4/wish/1255928905 Think again...]]> 2021-03-01 23:53:55 UTC https://padlet.com/victormuntean/fudgjnnj87bw1qg4/wish/1255928905 Don't walk into a trap! victormuntean https://padlet.com/victormuntean/fudgjnnj87bw1qg4/wish/1255932860 Give credit where it is due and if it is your opinion, say so!]]> 2021-03-01 23:56:04 UTC https://padlet.com/victormuntean/fudgjnnj87bw1qg4/wish/1255932860 What to do to, what to do? victormuntean https://padlet.com/victormuntean/fudgjnnj87bw1qg4/wish/1255936261 How do prevent our student's from making these critical and crucial computing mistakes?
    • When searching for images for a project of any kind, it is better to search for creative commons images that you can use freely
    • Remember that "sharing" any digital or is almost always wrong - offering passwords to share different accounts is the same!
    • Remember that a copy doesn’t have to be a physical copy to be pirated.
    • Learn to check the terms of use/end user agreement on anything you buy or rent, for permission to make copies for yourself,  or others.
