Copyright Issues

Your slideshare assignment didn't go as smooth as I thought it would go. Most of you used pictures that were not yours but failed to cite your sources properly. Therefore I could not accept the placing online of work that wasn't rightfully yours. Although I did call your attention to the fact that it was imperative that you respected copyright rights, I should have insisted more on it.
I will go through it again with you and I will post some guidelines for you to follow, rather than just debating it with you. After that you will be required to redo your powerpoint presentations.
In the meantime please read the following:
Copyright and Using Images in Blog Posts

Is it Plagiarism Yet?

Secondary ICT - Plagiarism - A Cut and Paste Generation

And then take this test: You Quote it, You note it!

As vossas apresentações no slideshare não tiveram o resultado que eu estava à espera. A maioria de vocês utilizou imagens que não eram vossas, mas não citou as fontes. Por essa razão não posso aceitar a publicação online de material que não vos pertence, sem que se credite o seu autor. Embora tenha chamado a vossa atenção para este facto, deveria ter sido mais insistente. Vamos voltar a debater este assunto e irei publicar um guião para vocês seguirem. Mais tarde irão refazer as vossas apresentações. Entretanto visitem, por favor, os sites acima assinalados e depois façam o teste You Quote it, You note it!
