Lesson learnt

I was getting right into composing my blog and website, excitedly linking this and adding that, with no thought to the legal and copyright laws of downloading and copying from websites. It was not until I came across an important part of one of our readings that warned us to ensure we acknowledge anything we copy or use, as we can be investigated for plagiarism if we don't. I went in to panic mode and went back over everything I had done, only to find that I had used an image (the Gardner's learning styles image that I used on my blog) without attribution. I have since gone back and fixed my mistake, and are now more aware of the correct and lawful procedures when using materials of the internet.
