Reflection on Week 8

Although we all familiar with the topic about copyright, it is my first time to read this ordinance.

In fact, schools in Hong Kong concern about this issue once it has been published. It is because teachers always use the mass media, such as newspaper articles and advertisements, as a kind of teaching tools in their lessons. As our government suggests, teachers should use authentic materials as teaching aids to arouse our students’ interest. It is true that such materials can motivate our students to learn.

I am quite surprised the term ‘currently shown movie’ in the ordinance. In fact, teachers do not use the video piracy as a teaching tool because we all know that it is illegal. Therefore, how can we use the currently shown movies as teaching aids?
