Quiz question #2: I guess I’m a little confused on this question and answer; so it’s alright to install a program on a central server so that students in the classroom can access it, but it can only be used one at a time. Is there a way to block other users from accessing the program when a user is already using the program?

Quiz question #7: I’m not quite sure how I feel about this; a part of me thinks oh neat a place where parents can go and see how their child is doing in school, but then another part of me thinks well should this really be allowed. That’s a student’s work being displayed to all kinds of parents, and even if the website is private there are ways to hack into it.

Quiz question #8: I always thought that as long as credit was being given then students could download new releases from a Taiwanese Web site, but the more I think about it the more I can see why this should be illegal.

Quiz question #10: Teachers are allowed to use clip art and music from popular file-sharing sites as long as they don’t try and redistribute it or post it on the Web. I didn’t know that using clip art that has been taking from a website and used in a lesson plan couldn’t be put up on line legally.

Quiz question #12: How can manufacturers get away with blocking technology if teachers are allowed to use such videos as educational material? I originally thought this question was false because I didn’t know that a teacher could digitize a movie legally.

Quiz question #13: Of course this question is true fair use because the students asked the person they interviewed if they could post the information on the web. The only way I see this become a problem is if the class that used it in their History Day project was to go and redistribute the information.


Quiz question #15: So it is alright for a teacher to go online and look up a film clip from FlimClipsOnline.com and present it to the class this way, but teachers can’t take clips from VHS’ and compile them together.

Quiz question #18: In order to play a clip, and present it in a music project the clip has to be less than sixty seconds long, I believe, or else it is considered illegal.
