    The purpose of this study was to address cyber ethics to fifth and sixth graders to get to know their knowledge and understanding on fair use and copyright. This study started with a lesson to a homeroom class. The lesson addressed the concerns of making copies of a CD and distributing it to others. The purpose of the lesson was to introduce to students how to Play it Safe in Cyberspace lessons. Parents participated in this study; and a survey was provided to them asking how they feel about students learning cyber safety copyright and fair use laws. The survey produced positive feedback from the parents. Further, in the study students were asked to write a letter to the principal or to someone other than the principal about what they had learned about software theft. In these letters, students wrote about the cyber ethics of what you should do and not do and how to take precautions when using certain websites.

    Great article. 5th and 6th grade seems so young to even be able to grasp all of this! It is great to start them out young while they are just really starting to use the web for school. That way when they start doing more complicated projects when they are older they will know how to do it right.

View Organizers What is Inquiry Based Learning? Inquiry based learning is mainly involving the learner and leading him to understand. Inquiry here implies on the possessing skills and attitude of yours, which allows you to ask questions about new resolutions and issues while you are gaining new information. Dictionary meaning of Inquiry is seeking knowledge , information, or truth through questioning. All the people carry on with this process throughout their life, even if you might find it not very much reflecting. For example, infants use inquiry to build their sense of the world, the babies turn towards voices, put things in their mouths, grasp things, and observe faces that come near. The inquiry process is mainly the gathering of data and information and applying them to senses like smelling, tasting, touching, hearing and seeing. Very sadly, our traditional ways of teaching discourage the process of inquiry. It makes the student get less prone to asking questions as they move through their grade levels, they are just expected to listen and repeat the expected answers. This is due to the lack of understanding of inquiry based learning. Inquiry based learning is not just asking questions, but it is a way of converting data and information into useful knowledge. A useful application of inquiry based learning involves many different factors, which are, a different level of questions, a focus for questions, a framework for questions, and a context for questions. Much mesmerizing information and facts are readily available, which needs an understanding of how to make sense out of it and turn it into useful knowledge. The teachers must be able to analyze that he or she does into only have to accumulate information and data but also have to generate it into useful knowledge, which can be easily done through inquiry based learning. Our country's success depending upon natural resources is the past; the future of our country's success now depends upon the workforce which works smarter. There are four essential elements on which inquiry based learning depends

    This research summarizes the application of fair use to meet the missions of the U.S. academic and research libraries. Sixty- five librarians were interviewed in this study. Each of them was asked about their employment and the five keys of practice. These librarians discussed how to apply fair use to their positions. The purpose of this study was to determine best practices in fair use. In the findings, librarians were found dedicated to their jobs and concerns about applying fair use and copyright limitations were provided for them at the end of this study.

And its use of different methods--flash cards-matching-GAMES!-quizzes--ensures all learning styles are addressed. This article (a thesis) studies and advises on the use of Quizlets.

    This article provides an overview of how computers affect a child's development. The study shows that continuous use of computers has children spending more time in front of a television rather than doing activities making them overweight. In this study, the findings show that increased use of the computer leads to depression and loneliness.

      This paragraph makes the Fair use policy seem ridiculous. What do you think?
  • "But I do think many have the impression that any use of material in education is fair use."
  • Fair use in the classroom is often dependent on the subject matter of the content. Ensign says a teacher may not be allowed to show the film The Lion King to the class simply because it was raining and the kids were squirrelly. It could be shown only if the class were doing a study of Disney films or were engaged in the study of a related subject.

    This site gives a very opinionated presentation of a few of the Copyright and Fair Use laws. This is still very interesting!
  • Joshua ROot on 24 Feb 12
     
    I agree with the article's main point, that it IS a teacher's responsibility to know, apply, and teach the copyright and fair use rules. I ALSO agree with you, that the rules and policies make performing the job nearly impossible! I feel the pain, personally. In my classrooms, I am sometimes at a loss (and sometimes just bluff my way through it!) on how to explain to a confused student what to do in regards to using a copywritten resource or how to cite a unique source. Thankflly, I have come across a really helpful weapon in the battle against confusion--an e-graphic organizer of sorts compiled by the UT librarians, and available for open use on their website: http://lib.utexas.edu/citations

    I realized after reading that article, that I am guilty of copyright.....It's almost like they knew that we watched Toy Story the other day when it was raining, and it was almost time for 5:00 drive-thru.

    This article discusses the role that computers play in the school and in children's social, emotional, and physical development. Technology is on the rise and as the year's progress, computers are being provided for students in the classroom. The question is does using technology in school raise students achievement. For the younger students computers were most effective on student learning when the teacher would use them for high thinking skills. Computers used in 12th grade history reported the more that students used computers outside the classroom their performances were higher on test scores. This study suggests that schools that provide technology applications should provide training for students to use these applications. In conjunction, schools should provide basic computer skills for students so that they can improve in their content areas.

    I like the idea of providing technology training to students. It amazes me how many of my students don't have basic computer skills. I usually spend a lot of time just teaching them how to use a program.

    According to this article, regular use of computers has an effect on student performance. In this study, they used 986 fourth graders from 55 classrooms in nine Massachusetts school districts. Most of the students only used computers to write their papers. However, they found that students that used their computers for fun and games had a negative effect on students reading scores. As long as students used the computers for writing purposes this had positive effects on their test scores.

    I found this article interesting because my nephew (who lives with me) is taking a few classes on-line through Texas Tech in order to graduate early. I do think the instructional quality is not as high as an actual teacher and it is not for everyone. A student has to be self-motivated in order for it to work and be effective.

    I read this book and what the author says is really revolutionary. She has students work in teams as researchers and collaborate while doing research separately. She says students are scientists and classroom homework is research. They should be teaching the teachers, she thinks. Especially, they are beyond us in technology knowledge!

    I was interested to read this article about interactive notebooks. We do science notebooking in our school. I try to modify it to a lifeskills level. I like the idea of vocabulary briefcase. I also like the comment about teachers should only write in blue or black ink. I think that it is important that the students doesn't think it is being "graded" that way they aren't afraid to share ideas.

    My school is a large advocate of interactive notebooks. I like them alot for math it makes students have to show ownership for their notes. From this article I enjoyed reading about the vocabulary brief case. I think I will try to modify that idea for math. :)
