I just took some time and watched the non-Disney copyright video posted on this weeks discovery assignment. This video is great and should be seen by everyone. It really makes me look at Disney differently. A while back, around the semester break I think, LCMS had a great speaker visit us. He spoke to our students and staff on the topics of bullies and the overall treatment of people at school, those you know and do not know. Underlining his speech, he used the Beauty and the Beast movie. This video made me think about how the two relate and the impact Disney has had helping to form those images and perceptions in kids minds.
Plagiarism as a violation of copyright law...
On another note, I gave a written assignment in PE this year and could not have more disappointed with the amount of students who went online for information and just 'cut and pasted' onto the assignment. We had reviewed plagiarism and what it means, how to not do it, etc. and I know other teachers discuss and talk about it however, they still did it. I thought about making those redo the assignment then realized 90% of each class would have to. Next year I will show the non-Disney copyright video. Are the students just lazy?

You should download it to your computer using Tooble. It's a tiny application used to download videos from YouTube directly to your computer. You can google it or get the link directly from http://www.hamres.com/lvusd2.html
Of course, I talk about plagiarism, copyright, and citing sources in all the lessons in the library. I think the kids understand it, but just don't want to follow these guidelines when copying is easier. But, we need to keep thinking of new ways to remind them and hope we will reach some. Showing the video sounds like a great idea.
