I think as educators in this field this could be a great research topic in copyright and privacy for our students. How can we effectively administer the rules and expectations so we can be on a consistent basis for our country?
Hey Maggie,
ReplyDeleteCopyright: Actually, EETT federal legislation requires school districts to have a plan for educating students in copyright violation. Sadly, the plan tends to be in the document and not strictly enforced in districts - just too much to do.
I suggest you look at the following resource:

Great start for educating students, parents, and teachers!
Let me know what you think!

ReplyDeleteI liked your ideal of a guideline for teachers to understand the copyright laws. I have a chart with the copyright laws in an easy to read format for paper or what they call a hard copy copying. It is still unclear about the online materials to me so when I have some time I will have to research this in more detail. I am also concern about the personal information attached to documents that could possibly have my information on it that is attached to documents. I guess on our part as educators it is just safer for us to site everything and give credit where credit is due.

Hello Maggie
ReplyDeleteSecurity of personal information and citing appropriately are going to be the new hot button issues as a lot of school districts move forward with BYOD. However after you last statement on the video I looked for information about teachers/educators using information and I came across Library of Congress site for Copyright and Primary Sources. There is a section on this site that indicates that as long as material is used for certain purposes, for instance, education it can be considered "fair use" but one must still be careful to get permission from the original source if necessary. Copyrighting, plagriasim and security issues for material are definitely things we all should look out for when integrating technology into educational material.
I have entered the link for library of congress website:

Hopefully I can get away with posting this url without a citation since it is for education use.
