Before class, I had no idea about what copyright, fair use, or curation tools. I thought that curation was a hard shortcut to figure out. The only thing I knew about copyright was it was a legal right given to a company or person who has permission to print their logo, for example. Before going to class we were told to look at some curation tools, like Evernote. I knew that it was gathering and discovering content about a certain subject that you think is important. Some things that I am curious about are what it takes to have a copyright on a certain item, what fair use is, and what other apps or websites are curations.
Some things I learned through my preparation for class was how Pinterest was a curation; I never would have guessed it was. I learned through preparation how easy it is to use the Evernote Clipper. If you find any article about something you liked you can click the clipper and it will save under a folder you make and you can look back at it later. I found out through a classmate that the app, on the iPhone, called News is also a curation. You can sort through things you want to read and save the articles for later. Things I learned was what the definition for curation is, it is gathering information and bookmarking it in a folder and saving it for later. There are multiple cites that are considered curations, I have put a link below to show what websites are curations and why it is good to use them. Fair use is a legal concept that allows a video that is copyrighted to be shown without paying a fee and their permission. I learned that owning a movie and showing it to your class during school is going against the fair use. I find this interesting since, you bought the movie and should be able to show it no matter if it is your classroom or house. Copyright is a protection property, which protects the holder’s right to sell, display, license, perform or reproduce the work in question. "Content Curation Tools: The Ultimate List."

This would be good to learn more about it and if you are looking for copyright and fair use of an item. I learned from class this week is always do research before class and after to fully understand what is being discussed in class. Collaborating with others and working together is something that is going to be a huge part in understanding what is being discussed. Ask questions as often as you need to be sure to understand what to do.
