With the help of Kongdou, thousands of Primary and secondary school teachers surge a great movement of protecting teachers’ fruits of labor, intellectual property, and the educational creative fruits.
Kongdou（www.kongdou.com）is an online community, in which middle school teachers, students, and parents can freely communicate with each other and conveniently share study materials. Upholding the idea of “love and care” this web is to offer a safe and uncontaminated stage for the adolescence to surf the internet.
Teachers upload their research fruits and something they have learned during long-time teaching on the Kongdou web; in that case students or other teachers can read online or download them conveniently. For a long time people take it for granted that they can download anything free of charge. For respecting the fruits of labor, every article, and even every paper, made by us is accordingly labeled with price. One should pay for what he downloads. As opposed to having overloading meal, most users are willing to pay. The users applaud for the charge----0.1 or 0.2 yuan at a time. Some students think that we have no reason to use the material without payment.
For a long time, enormous middle school teachers accumulate abundant study materials, which are even better than those sold in the market. However, with the indifference of the whole society to the intellectual property, people take it for granted that the teaching materials and reference books can use materials free of charge. Consequently, some unique methods or new materials are neglected by the society. An ingenious method, which probably the fruit of someone’s industrious labor is likely to be “edited” in the teaching materials and reference books without any payment, even his name is never mentioned. It is very common that the same paper or the same approach is copied here and there. Therefore, only by building the social atmosphere of respecting teachers’ labor and protecting intellectual property, can teachers’ passion for innovation be cultivated and can children receive new education.
Yohn.cheng, the young vice-president of Kongdou said Kongdou started from protecting teachers’ fruits, encouraging their passion for innovation, and cultivating the sense of innovation in the phase of primary and secondary school. In that way, we can educate our descendant as a generation with creative mind and creative competence.
