"Here are some guidelines, categories, and tools to consider that will help you as you create, contribute to, and enrich our shared culture!"
"I absolutely love it when teachers and students create, remix, and mash up media; it's a fantastic way to encourage deeper learning and media literacy. But one issue that complicates digital freedom of expression is copyright law. While many would argue that copyright law is outdated and badly in need of an overhaul, it's still critical that adults and kids alike have a basic understanding of what's legal and ethical while playing with other people's intellectual property. Here's a list of videos I collected to help you navigate the murky waters of copyright law in educational settings."
" Over the last couple of years I have shared quite a few resources about teaching copyright. Three of my favorite resources can be found here, here, and here. Over the weekend Larry Ferlazzo and Silvia Rosenthal Tolisano shared one of the most concise explanation of the basics of copyright that I've seen. That explanation comes in the form of the infographic posted below."
"Kids are growing up in the digital age, where everything that they could dream of owning -- movies, CDs, computer games, even papers and other assignments for school - can be had with just the click of a mouse. And without proper intervention and education, they might not see a single thing wrong with downloading or copying the latest and greatest software."
" This challenge: Will familiarize you with the range of Creative Commons licenses, which grant permission to the world to use creative work in specific ways. Will get you started on the road to CC savvy with a few short videos and activities. "
" The Electronic Frontier Foundation has published a set of comprehensive lesson plans about copyright simply titled Teaching Copyright. Teaching Copyright contains five lesson plans. Each lesson plan includes printable worksheets, readings, and suggested activities. For teachers looking for a little more information than is available in the lesson plans, the EFF has a good list of additional resources including videos on the topics of copyright and fair use. To stay up to date on new developments in copyright and fair use, you may want to follow the EFF blog."
" Last night someone on Twitter asked me for advice about how to respond to discovering that his blog posts were being re-used without permission. This morning I read Silvia Rosenthal Tolisano's post No! You Can't Just Take It. In that post Silvia expresses her frustration with teachers who take articles and graphics from her blog without permission, without giving attribution, and then use those materials as their own. Unfortunately, these are situations that I've dealt with a lot over the last five plus years. If you find yourself in a similar situation in which you discover someone taking and using your materials without permission, I have a couple of pieces of advice on how to handle it. You can find all my advice on the topic in my post What To Do When Your Work Is Plagiarized. "
Great resources can be found here.
"In some situations, you may make limited use of another's copyrighted work without asking permission or infringing on the original copyright."
This is a livebinder of resources for copyright, creative commons and fair use.
"If, like me, you were raised on Bill Watterson's iconic Calvin and Hobbes comic strip, you likely found a set of images bouncing around the Internet lately to be beautiful and strangely poignant. "
"Because of the importance and relevance of this information to ALL learners playing with media, an updated version of this chapter from the eBook, "Playing with Media: simple ideas for powerful sharing," is reprinted/available below."
" A proposal by the Prince George’s County Board of Education to copyright work created by staff and students for school could mean that a picture drawn by a first-grader, a lesson plan developed by a teacher or an app created by a teen would belong to the school system, not the individual."
"Review the infographic to get an overview of the differences between traditional copyright, Creative Commons, and public domain."
"Learn about U.S. copyright law, the fair use provision, and how to apply it to online resources for the classroom."
"Using Videotape in the Classroom Without Violating Copyright Law
If you're a teacher, you should know if and when you may legally tape educational TV programs and use them in your classroom."
"To help determine whether you can fairly use a particular copyrighted work in your teaching, take our fun test!

"This tutorial is designed to educate our faculty, staff, and students about copyright law and how it relates to them. BYU's official Copyright Policy states, "All members of the BYU community—faculty, staff, students, volunteers, and patrons—are expected to respect the rights of copyright owners as established by relevant state and federal laws. Members of the BYU community who disregard the Copyright Policy may be in violation of the Church Educational System Honor Code; may jeopardize their employment; may place themselves at risk for possible legal action; and may incur personal liability" (University Handbook). Simply stated, copyright compliance is a citizenship issue."
