Who's Afraid of the Big Bad ©? - 10/1/2008 - School Library Journal - 0 views

  • According to the study by American University’s Center for Social Media, educators often “over-comply with copyright law, and even forego using legitimate teaching tools and techniques for fear of violating copyright.”
  • We need to let our students and colleagues know that it’s perfectly legal to use copyrighted materials in research, if they’re properly cited and supplement, rather than supplant, one’s own work.
  • fair use, a provision that allows educators to use copyrighted materials under certain conditions without seeking permission from the rights holder. According to the Copyright Act of 1976, educators are sometimes allowed to use copyrighted materials “for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research….”

  • Educators also need to know that students can use copyrighted materials for school projects and in their professional portfolios.
  • Yet as a researcher and teacher, one has the right to do all of these expressly forbidden things provided that fair-use guidelines are followed
  • “There’s never been a lawsuit involving a media company and an educator over the rights to use media as part of the educational process.”
  • The library media specialist’s role is to help each teacher and student establish an informed, personal level of comfort in using others’ intellectual properties.
  • My longstanding philosophy is that education is about teaching others to think rather than to believe. We need to help students arrive at their own personal comfort levels when using protected creative works.
  • We must allow the fair use of copyrighted material in student work, but expect them to be able to articulate why they believe it constitutes fair use.
  • Students should be required to assign a Creative Commons designation to each piece of original work they produce—especially those items they’ll be publishing online or in print.

Ten Tips About 23 Things - 10/1/2008 - School Library Journal - 1 views

  • Learning 2.0 (plcmclearning.blogspot.com)—aka the “23 Things”—is a self-paced online learning program that I designed in 2006 as a one-person crusade to move an entire organization of 500-plus staff onto the Web 2.0 bandwagon.
  • 23 small discovery exercises (i.e. “things”) around various Web applications, from blogs and wikis to podcasts, RSS, and mashups. What makes the program unique from other staff training workshops is that while the participants are learning about all these new technologies that enable community and social connections, they are actively creating an online social network for themselves.

LIBRARY 2.0 MEANS BETTER SERVICE - 4 views

  •  
    Library 2.0 can be a scary term for librarians who aren't really into technology, but in fact, it's not primarily about machines and software: it's about using the best tools and ideas to provide the best possible service to our users. Marylaine will demonstrate how librarians are using every available means (technological and otherwise) to: "Library 2.0 simply means making your library's space (virtual and physical) more interactive, collaborative, and driven by community needs." Sarah Houghton-Jan "Library 2.0 is, perhaps above all else, the idea of constant change. Not only constant library change, but the recognition that our communities are constantly changing and that our services to them must change proportionately." Michael Casey
