The article briefly talks about what happens if you get caught for a violation of copyright. A list of helpful websites regarding copyright and fair use are attached to the article. The blog ends with a section of comments.

This website from Stanford gives question answer approach to Copyright and Fair Use Research. I found this website very resourceful because it gives information about the common terms associated with copy right and fair use. The information from this website was also taken from a book called Getting Permission (October 2010) by Richard Stim.

This article provides insight for non-profits and when and if it is safe to use or copy other articles on their websites.

I found this article interesting because I always wondered if it was okay to copy if you are a nonprofit organization. I am involved with several organizations who think it is okay to do whatever they want. This article clearly spells it out.

This website basically breaks down all the information that student athletes need in order to be awarded an athletic scholarship. It shows how parents can get involved and help as well as how students can prepare themselves academically and athletically.

PBS did a great job of giving detail to the copyright laws. This is not the most entertaining of websites, but very informative.

This website provides power point presentations about interactive science notebooks.

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. :)

The article starts out by asking the question when professors send students papers to a database, are copyrights violated? This article discusses electronic tools being used to determine student plagiarism. Turnitin.com is a common electronic tool that professors and teachers provide for their students to turn in their papers. In the United States, 400 colleges use this website. Lawyers detect that this is an infringement on students copyright. The founder of turnitin.com apologized for violating student's rights and advised professors to advise students that copies of their papers will be checked and kept in the database for plagiarism. Then they discuss success stories of how professors and schools are not concerned with lawsuits.

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.

The U. S. government copyright office has links to important forms, publications, documents, laws, licensing, searchable copyright records, frequently asked questions, factsheets, etc... that provide information about copyrights.

This article is more "user friendly" than reading the copyright law. It also includes a section about liablility for the district and the teacher.

This article gives more information on how educators can use the internet and not break any rules while doing so. Educators are always looking for new ways to help educate their students and many times use the internet for it, so here they can see how to protect themselves from getting into any trouble. Plus we our teaching in the 21st century which requires teachers to be more technology savvy and incorporate technology in their classrooms.

This website is the "law" version of copyright and fair use. I felt it was a good resource because sometimes it is better to see the law rather than an interpretation. It is broken down it to catergories. If you just wanted to know the law about music, you can see what the law is pertaining to that area.

This particular link is part of a larger citation- and plagiary-education tutorial page created by and on UT's Libraries website. Contains graphs, tables, informative videos, and other tools. Great, clear information for this area of education that is often very confusing.

This just like all the other articles on Athletic scholarships states what exactly goes on behind the scenes. Even though it is a very short and brief article it does not sugar coat and sale anything to the athletes. It shows what the realities are and what one needs to be aware of. It is better to be informed of the reality than to let your dream live on what you think something is. Knowledge is power, in this case it is also going to alleviate stress and headaches.

Wow! This is another good article. I found the whole website interesting. I actually have a teenager that is about to graduate within the next year. He runs cross-country, and he is pretty good at it. He is top two in his school. We have been discussing colleges and scholarship offers that are available. After reading this article, it really had me thinking about the scholarship offers that are even available for my son. As a business teacher, I enjoy discussing college options for my students as well. This article gave me some helpful information that enlighten my knowledge of divisions and which sports usually get a full-ride. It is important to have a backup plan and not to rely on one school. Students should always have a plan B. Sports are not everything without a good GPA.

The article was a good read. I think working with the coaches and athletes you have to understand it is a business but in the same breath. It also depends on the sport your child is playing. Basketball. Basket, Football are the most grueling sports when it comes traveling and practice times. So, just research the school and what are the practice times if you have a focused student then they can come out with the right degree.

This site gives a very opinionated presentation of a few of the Copyright and Fair Use laws. This is still very interesting!

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.

In this presentation on the Davidson County School's Website you can explore ways of how to implement Mentor Texts into the writing of young students.

This is a good video for students to learn about copyright.

I was just saying I wish I was educated on copyright and fairuse when I was in school, I am glad they have something for the babies to learn. This will be beneficial to them now because they are using technology more and more .

I also saw this website. I thought that it would be a good educational tool to use in the classroom.
