I really like to teach adults using similar or the same resources that I use for secondary students because it provides an 'entry-level' peak at the topic at hand (in this instance, Copyright) as well as a resource that they can use to direct-teach. I really like how BrainPop explains copyright in a very user-friendly manner.

This is SUCH a great resource that I stumbled across in my research. It is a handbook for librarians that breaks down copyright and the impact on 'our world'. This is a fantastic source of information!! "Copyright for Librarians: the essential handbook" is a textbook that aims to provide librarians in developing and transition countries with information concerning copyright law. It can be used as a stand-alone resource or as an adjunct to a companion online curriculum."

I'm not a fan of giant lists, to 6 is a good number to share. Some of these we've learned in class, some are not as obvious. #4 is a good new strategy to use, that I've never seen before.

What are OER? Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching and learning materials that you may freely use and reuse at no cost. Unlike fixed, copyrighted resources, OER have been authored or created by an individual or organization that chooses to retain few, if any, ownership rights.

At the #GoOpen Exchange on Friday, everyone was talking about OER and the need to curate. The Twiter feed shows the buzz around the trending event and it shows school librarians were at the table. As the initiative moves forward, it is critical for us to choose to be at the head of this particular table.

I wanted to find resources for reading as I am apart of the English Department at my school. We are always looking for resources to share with each other in our meetings. I came across this resource and found the grammar section. Many topics are presented such as contradictions, semi colons, sentences, etc... What really caught my eye were the videos towards the bottom of the page. Here they have videos that explain the differences between words that sound the same but have different meanings. They use toys and action sequences to explain which are very funny! Each of the grammar lessons have unique learning techniques, whether users need to select correct choices or simply view pictures that help represent the learning. I could see using or providing the examples given in many lessons.

This source provides information on avoiding plagiarism. Provides definition of plagiarism, example, interactive of basic tips and a quiz. There is also information on creative commons and public domain. I could see using the examples provided for small group discussions. I see myself using a lot of the information on copyright as it is easy to read and lays out the format that will be easy for the students to understand. These examples are under a big umbrella of information called "Using Information Correctly." There are 3 big ideas under this which include Avoiding Plagiarism, Putting Info Together and Copyright and Fair Use.
