Blog #4 Fair Use

Discuss in detail and with some depth the concept of fair use. Link to websites that offer interesting images for use with alternative copyrights. What is creative commons licensing? What other sorts of licensing did you encounter?

What is the concept of "fair use?" The concept of "fair use" involves the illegal use of use of copyrighted material -- thus the enactment of copyright laws. It means that one may not use materials created by others without the permission of the owner. From what I read there are three areas of concern. The first area -- what is the purpose? and who will benefit from the use of the materials? The second area --what is the nature of the work? Is the material something that can be copyrighted? And thirdly, how much copyright has been put into the work? These are all questions to be considered. I think if one is going to use another person's work then credit should be given. It is just plain and simple.

What is Creative Commons Licensing? This is a license that allows one to use copyrighted material, but with some restrictions. For example, one might be only able to copy and distribute EXACT copies of a copyrighted material, one might be able to use copyrighted materials for non-commercial purposes, or use it in a particular way so that it gives credit to the owner/creator. I believe that it allows for a loophole in the copyrighting law.

Blog #3 & comments

I plan to create a website which will showcase my interests. I plan to have a tab that will open a site to my educational encounters not only as a student but what I plan to do when I graduate and teach. A tab for my children's adventures, a tab for my mom, a tab for my tennis adventures, and a tab for my Shaklee business. The audience that I'm targeting will be very varied because of all the different interests. I want the look of the site to be creative and interesting. The challenges that I have are finding the time and deciding what program to use to start this project.... Well, ta... ta... for now....

I have commented on Tia's site and Laura's site.

Blog #2 & More comments

Hi everyone! My three favorite sites, huh... ok... Well, my first favorite website would be my part-time business that I have called Reiss Enterprises. I have a Shaklee distributorship and it is a multi-level marketing company. The three major components are (1) vitamins and food supplements; (2) natural skin care products; and (3) nature-friendly home care products. I hope you enjoy the site!

The second favorite website is the USTA tennis website. I'm an avid tennis player and play on several leagues. It is sooo much fun. Everyone should develop over the course of their life some physical activity which will not only help to keep one in shape but also it is a good way to maintain some fun friendships.... :)

The third website is OSU. Since I am a current student here I am always accessing this site for class information, etc., especially in Fawn Winterwood's class.... :)

Each one of these websites are professionally designed and easy to navigate. The page layout/fonts/graphics are appropriate to each web and the pictures help you to know where you are at in the site. Yeah, I think my website will look like one of these..... lol.... :)

I commented on PrisonTeach's site and the site of Bryce Culver.
