Spring office cleaning and a computer change-over are leading to a host of re-discoveries, reflections, retrievals, and restorations. Many old sticky notes, some not originally yellow, have surfaced from the sea of dust accumulated over years of good intentions. This reflection is about copyright, stemming on a final tiny, dog-eared leaf from an old sticky pad about EdTechTalk#25 (2005.11.13).
A suggestion I jotted down when I first encountered that chat reads, “Teach Ss to copyright [their] own stuff.” The note on the back of that tiny leaf suggests, “[T]eachers need not be techies” (no date).
As I searched to retrieve a reference to substantiate the stimulus for those brief notes, I discovered a recent, yet related comment in the EdTechTalk blog sidebar entitled Teaching about Copyright and Fair Use (Renee Hobbs, on Teachers Teaching Teachers #135, 2009.03.02).
Renee points out two more links to explore: one for educators interested in exploring fair use, and the other to videos introducing intellectual property rights issues to educators and learners:
- Code of Best Practices … (Temple University, School of Communication and Theater, 2008.11.00), and
- Music Videos Help … (Temple University, School of Communication and Theater, 2009.05.23).
