Ms. Tolisano's blog post titled "Copyright Flowchart: Can I Use It?" she points out that it is our job as teachers to set the example for our students when it comes to online plagiarism and copyright information. She mentions that most teachers did not grow up with much access to the internet, so when it comes to digital rights, the proper documentation is still kind of iffy. She says that it is important to develop a school policy when it comes to this and to also raise awareness of copyright issues in the digital world. A copy of the flowchart Ms. Tolisano created when it comes to using copyrighted information can be found here. I know that I do not know all of the rules when it comes to using information that can be found on the internet. It is our job as teachers to learn all of these rules so that we can pass them onto our students.

In Ms. Tolisano's blog "Blogging as a Curation Platform," she asks us to "look at curation through the lens of blogging." I like this idea. Blogging as a way for us to express our thoughts and feelings in any way we choose. It is our own body of work and we can do with it whatever we please. We can assemble, organize, and present information however we would like since it is our blog. We make our own rules and we have the freedom to post as much information as we would like. So if we all find our niche, we can become trusted curators in our learning networks.
