One of the page notice us about the copyright in schools related to the use of pirated DVD.

DVD piracy is a criminal activity which carries severe penalties. In addition, copyright owners can take action against those who infringe copyright in their films and seek substantial financial compensation for their losses.  By allowing this activity on their premises schools, teachers, parents and students are at risk of serious criminal penalties for DVD piracy.

How many people know it. 

In this web site, there are some information about how to identify pirate movies as following.

“Pirated” versions of films have been copied illegally.  As a result they typically:

• Have photocopied or poorly printed covers and graphics (they may come in a plastic envelope instead of a normal DVD cover);
• Carry an “ALL” zone region code or no region coding at all;
• Have poor sound and vision quality;
• Have subtitling and/or DVD menu items in a language other than English or in poorly translated English;
• Have discrepancies between the inlay card and the disc;
• Contain more than one film on a disc; and
• Have technical faults – “skipped” frames, freezing during screening or non-functioning DVD menu items.

In addition, genuine DVDs carry copyright and classification notices as well as a list of credits, ownership, licensing information and the country of manufacture.  These are often missing from pirated DVD’s.  Where they are seen they are often misspelled or deliberately distorted.

Finally, if your school is offered a DVD of a film which is still screening in cinemas or not yet available in Australia then it is highly likely that it is a “pirated” copy.

Educate Teachers, Students and Parents to the danger of “pirated” DVDs.

It is also important that schools take a initiative and set a good example and educate teachers and students to the risks of DVD piracy.

This can be done by :

• Posting warning notices in staff rooms and around the school;
• Making a clear statement to students, parents and staff on the screening of pirate DVDs on their premises;
• Raising the issue of DVD piracy in school bulletins and newsletters;
• Only screening DVDs obtained from a legitimate source.  For more information see Copyright Information Sheet: “Lawful Screening of Films and Television Programs in Schools”.
• Reviewing DVD collections held in the school to ensure they have been obtained from legitimate sources; and
• Destroying any suspect DVDs held by the school.However, we should consider about another part of this issues. It is “Economy” of each country. http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/

After the 1990s, satellite communication technology has been used as a means to connect to the internet via broadband data connections. This can be very useful for users who are located in very remote areas, and cannot access a broadband connection.

With these technology, connect between the Antarctic and schools, and a class is carried out. In my school, we tried to connect between an Antarctic research base and hold the class. Students were really affected by that class.

After learning of structure of web site we tried to make simple web site by NUV soft. According to this practice I understand web site is made up of  index html (body) and some other page.

This lesson useful for when I teach about science and technology in Science class. We can not avoid to teach internet when we study about technology. If I use NUV soft and show them how to make web sit, it will be able to inspire them.

First take at the gate
