Welcome | Teaching Copyright. Copyright and Intellectual Property. A Fair(y) Use Tale. Copyright Flowchart: Can I Use It? Yes? No? If This… Then…
It is the responsibility of all educators to model good digital citizenship for their students. Especially when it comes to copyright, plagiarism and intellectual property. The waters are murky. Not being familiar with online digital rights and responsibilities (hey, teachers did not grow up with the Internet being around), educators are wading through uncharted waters (hey, I did not know that I could not just google an image to use. If someone puts it up online it is free for the taking). That does not mean they can close their eyes and pretend life is the same or that the same rules apply to online versus offline use of copyrighted material with their students. It is every educator’s responsibility to become familiar , observe and model for their students!
I have written about copyright on this blog many time. The waters are murky, it is not an easy topic. We have ubiquitous digital access, ease of duplication and distribution of information. Related Global Learning- What Do You Mean?
