4.2 Safe, Healthy, Legal & Ethical Use
Candidates model and facilitate the safe, healthy, legal, and ethical uses of digital information and technologies. (PSC 4.2/ISTE 5b)
Artifact: Copyright Assignment
Reflection:
I created the Copyright Assignment in ITEC 7445, Multimedia and Web Design in Education. In the Copyright Assignment, I had to research copyright laws, identify the parameters of fair use and identify an example of using work as acceptable or not. I made a PowerPoint presentation to summarize what I learned and teach others. The Copyright Assignment demonstrates my ability to determine the acceptable use of personal work.
This presentation summarized the differences between copyrighted and non-copyrighted works and outlined criteria for establishing fair use. I chose Netflix as the copyrighted work. I modeled and facilitated my understanding of digital content's safe, healthy, legal, and ethical uses. I included examples of infringing and not-infringing. I included three slides of scenarios where someone was using potentially copyrighted information and created a formative assessment for the viewer.
If I had to complete this assignment again, I would include more common platforms teachers use in my school, such as Teacher Pay Teacher materials, Google Images, and items found through a Google search. I would follow the same format for an easy-to-learn presentation. I have changed my practices; I now look for the copyright-terms on materials I purchased or find in a search.
I used my information to request permission for Netflix to be used in class. Currently, it is on the "Do Not Use" list. The denial stated that teachers do not follow the copyright. I found this somewhat hypocritical. The county encourages teachers to use online resources and find materials that support their learners in conjunction with the county-provided resources. Resources used by teachers across the county tend to be found by the teacher. If examined, areas of infringement would be found. I would enjoy an open discussion about the ways teachers misuse copyrighted work in their classrooms. It could lead to more county-provided resources and direct examples of infringing. Copyright is a presentation our media specialist gives every year during pre-planning. Developing my understanding of copyright law allows me to support her and the school and county's initiative to promote the safe, healthy, and legal use of all digital and hard copied materials.
