Just recently this week, my class met with the librarian and she taught us about Copyright Knowledge. I had no idea there was so much to learn and know about copyright. As a student we have many responsibilities and resources to refer to about Copyright. Copyright is a legal concept regarding 'the right to copy'.
There are four main concepts I want to express today: fair use, teach act, creative commons, and free resources. Fair use is a doctrine that permits limited use of copyrighted material without acquiring permission from the rights holders. According to the website Copyright Crash Course, "The TEACH Act expands the scope of educators' rights to perform and display works and to make the copies integral to such performances and displays for digital distance education, making the rights closer to those we
have in face-to-face teaching."
Creative commons helps people share their knowledge and creativity in the world. It also supports technical infrastructure that maximizes digital creativity and sharing. There are many free resources available for use which include YouTube, SlideShare, and Flickr. When using these resources, it's very smart to always cite your source. If you want to get free images, use google; go to google images, advanced search then find usage rights- free to use and then share.
These are just a few concepts I learned during the Copyright Knowledge instruction. Check out the rest of my notes regarding Copyright.
