I thought this was a good time to write a post about copyright issues.
When you are online in a public place e.g. edublogs, you have to be careful not to take someone else’s work without permission, as this breaches copyright.

  • to make commercial use of the work

Under the following conditions:

  • Attribution — You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work).

It might say some rights reserved.

We are part of the student blogging challenge. Here is the first challenge.
Challenge 1 – Who am I?

If you could meet 10 people, alive or dead, who would they be? Make a list of the people and include one question you would ask them in an interview. You cannot repeat the same question.
