Copyright, Plagiarism, and Digital Literacy (by Sue Lyon-Jones) - Teaching Village - 0 views

  • The work that results from your use of the copyrighted materials needs to be transformative, i.e. substantially different from the original, and offer added value; it can’t  just be a copy, or a slightly modified version of it with a few words changed or the odd sentence or paragraph moved around;  and
  • 2) The copyrighted work can’t be used in a way that is likely to deprive the original author of income, or any potential income they might earn from the copyrighted works (such as book sales, or income from online advertisements if they run a web-based business).
  • Personally, I would always check with the person who created any work that I proposed to use that they were happy for me to use it, to avoid encountering problems further down the line.

  • Quoting entire posts or large blocks of texts that other people have written within your posts is generally frowned upon and may annoy the person you are referencing sufficiently for them to ask you to remove them! You should quote the minimum amount needed to get your point across, and let your visitors decide whether they want to visit the author’s site and read the rest of the article.

Lines on Plagiarism Blur for Students in the Digital Age - NYTimes.com - 1 views

  • “Our notion of authorship and originality was born, it flourished, and it may be waning,” Ms. Blum said.
  • Instead of offering an abject apology, Ms. Hegemann insisted, “There’s no such thing as originality anyway, just authenticity.” A few critics rose to her defense, and the book remained a finalist for a fiction prize (but did not win).
  • “If you’re taught how to closely read sources and synthesize them into your own original argument in middle and high school, you’re not going to be tempted to plagiarize in college, and you certainly won’t do so unknowingly,” she said.

  • The Internet may also be redefining how students — who came of age with music file-sharing, Wikipedia and Web-linking — understand the concept of authorship and the singularity of any text or image.

    "…students leave high school unprepared for the intellectual rigors of college writing" said Wilensky. HS students must understand that their learning experiences in schools, will develop the skills they will need in Higher Education. 9-12 students should be exposed to articles like this, stating real cases of plagiarism in Colleges, and discuss them, thinking in their future in University and in how prepared they are to face it. Thanks for sharing!

How to avoid committing social media gaffes | Community | eSchoolNews.com - 0 views

  • Develop guidelines for use and share with your staff. Update your acceptable-use policy as well as personnel policies to reflect the district’s position on appropriate use of social networking sites. For ideas, check out the Social Media Guidelines for Schools wiki (http://socialmediaguidelines.pbworks.com). Many of the ideas presented here are adapted from this resource, which is meant to be shared and expanded as new information becomes available.
  • reate an official site for your school or district. To protect others’ privacy, set it up as a fan page so people can post comments or become a fan without giving you access to their personal pages. Commit staff time or resources to daily updates. Keep the tone conversational, but represent your organization and your position respectfully and responsibly. According to Pew Research, “44 percent of online adults have searched for information about someone whose services or advice they seek in a professional capacity.”

ASCD Inservice: A Digital Nation Divided: Multitasking, Media-Saturation, & Finding Focus - 0 views

  • Where do you stand as an educator? Should we transform classrooms to embrace the multitasking technology-rich world, or create environments where students must focus on a singular task? What strategies have you seen which use multitasking as a benefit to student learning? Or what strategies have you seen which help students block out distraction? Have you ever witnessed a teacher help students compare whether multitasking or singular focus was more helpful to learning?

5 Non-Negotiable Provisions for Your Social-Media Policy :: Delaware Employment Law Blog - 0 views

  • First, who will be regulated by the policy—i.e., will certain job titles or departments be excluded altogether or subject to less restrictions?
  • Second, what will be regulated—will all online activity be subject to the policy or only when the employee somehow associates himself with your organization (for example, by using his company e-mail account in his Twitter profile).
  • Third, why are you writing a policy in the first place? Is it to encourage employees to get out there and embrace social media, hopefully with some resulting benefits returning to the employer? Or are you trying to regulate online use of social-networking sites because productivity has become an issue? There are infinite variations of those two choices and your organization needs to settle on one before you start hashing out actual policy provisions.
