The Educator's Guide to Copyright, Fair Use, and Creative Commons - The Edublogger - 3 views

  • This may seem obvious, but judging by the notices we have received, many teachers (and especially students) are under the impression that if it is on the web, then it is up for grabs.

      This is protocol in my classroom-they may as well learn it right the first time rather than the hard way later. When using Google images: go all the way to the cog wheel pull down on the right side of the toolbar; 2) go down to Advance Search; 3) inside Advanced Image Search, all the way at the bottom is a pulldown for usage rights, select "free to use or share" or, if you need to alter the image in anyway "fee to use share or modify." 
  • That is, in some cases, if an image, text, video, etc. is being used for educational purposes, there might be more flexible copyright rules.

      Well, that's a relief, huh?!

      Just yesterday I was watching a webinar from a national organization, and on one of the PowerPoint pages I saw a picture of one of my district's students with his PE teacher. I was shocked and wondered how it came to be in this webinar. I can only guess that there was a newpaper article with this picture in the local paper, and that put it out there on the web, and it was found and inserted into this PowerPoint. I also thought it was pretty cool - one of ours in something like that. It was crazy just happening upon it like I did though.
  • But make sure to check specific copyright restrictions before uploading anything you’ve scanned to the web!

      This is a biggie! I know of some teachers who upload all their homework handouts in .pdf format. I can think of only one who might have asked permission to do so. But, why bother buying that textbook's workbook if I can download it from another district for free. I can certainly see publishers having issue with that.

  • If only that were true.
  • copyright holders to give you (and the host of your site, such as Edublogs, WordPress, etc.) an official notification.

      Another important website to keep handy!
  • You are free to embed any video from YouTube, Vimeo, WatchKnowLearn, etc. on your blog or website as long as it gives you the embed option.

      This answers my earlier question about using a video in eduCanon. Seemed really wrong to do that, but guess it is understood when you upload if you allow others to borrow, they will.

      I guess that's why on some music videos, there is a statement that there is no ownership in the content? I don't know. I also bookmarked this article as I know I will need it as time goes on.

    This is a great explanation. Thank you for posting it. Any idea about the legality of editing YouTube videos with eduCanon?

    Eyes are on "the UCLA case," where a university has been sued because it undertook to provide video streams on campus without asking permission from the video rights holders. The case is not likely to be definitive but it raises important questions: What constitutes classroom use of a film? Can an institution sign away its fair use rights? Who is responsible for providing the infrastructure for streaming media distribution at an educational institution?

Twitter backchannels in the classroom - Lets talk after « Mr. P. Tucker's edu... - 2 views

    The cons of using Twitter as a backchannel discussion. The article debates the benefits of a backchannel discussion and negative effects it may have to the overall understanding of the presentation when the listener's attention is split between two activities.

    Interesting article. I think I would lose a fair amount of what speaker was saying if I were tweeting as well.
