Participates in class discussion regarding plagiarism and copyright issues   Teaching Methods/Strategies:  You may want to use sites such as Teachertube, or eHow for demonstration purposes. Because these sites change so often, you want to preview an appropriate content video to demonstrate. Have students explore the sites for a subject they are interested in. Discuss what is appropriate usage of videos and what types of videos should not be uploaded or used. This is a wonderful opportunity to discuss “cyberbullying”. Are secret camera’s – or candid camera shots without the subjects permission appropriate? Having the subject of the video’s permission is vital -and should be discussed in depth. Why might someone not want their video uploaded? Also, a great opportunity to discuss why it is so important to not upload inappropriate videos of themselves because they stay on the web for an indefinite period of time and may be used many years from now.   Alternate you may use these methods in Lesson 13 - Have students find a video to copy on ehow.com (such as [])   Copy the URL of the video. Open up Savevid.com. Paste the URL into the URL text box on the savevid site. Discuss the various type of file types that are available for download and how the purpose they are using the video conversion. .mp4 files are the most universally used for web purposes, but may not work in older software.
