Copyright Stuff

I think some of the stuff that we cannot do in school is just rediculous. I mean everyone wants us, teachers, to be "mericle workers" to educate students but when it comes to using certain materials we have to get licencing and pay money just to use it as educational material. It is like the phrase that Michael Buffer says, "Lets get ready to rumble" It is his trademark so if I use it somewhere I have to pay. Weird stuff. I mean I don't think we should just plagirize but we can cite it especialy if it is used to educate students. I am not talking about making money for my self.
I think i would like to know more about that, though not sure if I'll be showing any movies in my math classes but.....

THE CRASH COURSE

The video, crash course, was very interesting. Was it a fun video to watch? Probably not, since it's basically saying that we are "in a pickle." It is very depressing information, though I think it is something that every American needs to hear because we think that there are unlimited amounts of resources and we are the best and we can have anything we want. This course gives a new way to look at things. I really like that part about inflation. I never knew it is something that the government has control over. But it turns out that the government has control a lot of things such as inflation, which means that they plan everything, which means that its very hard to trust such government....
I will say that I wish I watched this video before I made an offer on the house....
Somewhat scary stuff.
