Careful, the 8th graders know a lot about security!

For the past few weeks, the 8th graders have been very busy with a project about copyright, phishing, netiquette, copyright, security, and hacking. The 8th grade Computer Class has been watching videos and discussing with Mr. Coello about the dangers of the Internet. Most people don’t know what phishing or copyright is, but many people do it without knowing. “Copyright is a form of protection given to the authors or creators of “original works of authorship,” including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic and other intellectual works.” according to Copyright Kids. Mr. Coello talked to the students in class about how people steal each other’s work and think that it is okay. The students have to make an essay about all 6 topics due February 17. Good luck to the 8th graders!
