In this chapter I learned that it is important for my students and me to give proper credit information that is not "homegrown". Homegrown means the work that you have was created personally and was basically not taken from anyone else--meaning if it was your friend's and he gave you permission to use it, that would be homegrown. Giving proper credit does not mean that we say we got this image from Google Images. It means that you give credit to the website you got the picture or information from. This is nearly synonymous with saying in a bibliography, "I got this information in the school library." You would need to write which book you got if from, the author, etc... in whatever format the teacher requests. This is not an easy concept to grasp, however, a very important one.
I will handle the protection of intellectual property in my future classroom by not accepting work that does not comply with the necessary standards. Similar to Dr. Theresa's, "Deal-breakers," students will only receive partial credit for work until they follow the proper guidelines. I was never told about this in high school, and I feel like it would have been good for all teachers to know this. If they did know this, it would have been nice for them to share this with us. We were always told we needed to make a bibliography to give credit to resources we used. Well, why do we need to do that? I always just assumed that it was something that we needed to because teachers told us to. It is similar to saying, this is a math problem, and this is the answer. The critical question that are missing are why? and how?
