I am creating a storybook for children aged 4-6 to help them with learning and develop a creative mind; I hope to educate and entertain children with books and develop a love for books.

I created the following information myself:

• Label: each of these things (above and below) on your printouts.

• Print:        copies of your work that have not been formatted or changed and copies that have been changed.  This could include, a printout without pictures, a printout with pictures, a printout with pictures moved etc.
• Print: a copy of your work that includes some information you have typed and written yourself (ie it is not copied and pasted).
• Label: each of these pieces of work and write in pen the changes that you have made.
• Print: a copy of your work that doesn’t include a table, frame or border
• Print: a copy of the work above that does include a table, frame or border and label the change you have made and why.
• How have you changed the information you have used?  

• Explain how you have changed fonts, styles (bold etc), colour.  
• Explain how you have edited text and changed it.  
• Explain how you have moved things around and why.
• Explain how you have changed the size of images / text / borders etc.

• Fill in the table below with at least 8 changes:

• Write about other general disadvantages of using ICT.

6. Copyright and Confidentiality

• Why is it important to identify where you obtained all your information?

It is important because, if you do not identify where you obtain your information; then you maybe violating copyright laws without even knowing.

• Why shouldn’t you include any personal names or information in your work?

You should not include personal information to prevent you getting hassled from people who have viewed your details.

• Why is it important not to copy other people’s work?

Other peoples work maybe copyright, so you should make sure gain permission from the original owner of the information.

• Give examples of how you have observed copyright and confidentiality in your work.

When I saw information that was useful to me and I could use in my project                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          I made sure the information was not copyright. If it was, I read the information and re-wrote it in my own words.
