As a school staff, we
have to do the acceptable use policy course every year. We have to go through training about what is
and isn't allowed in the classroom. So,
we are very aware of the dangers that our students face and the dangers of
using things that aren't allowed. However,
I have never seen netsmartz.org. I plan
on sharing that website with my co-workers, students, and parents. I also
loved the cheat sheet for teachers! I
plan on sharing that as well! The Reproduction
of Copyrighted Works
by Educators and
Librarians had a lot of valuable information about what we can and
cannot copy for our classroom. I love
having this article because I haven’t had anything in print that states exactly what we are
allowed to copy. I have printed it and
added it to my files.
My second job is photography. I have many friends in the business. Some of them have released pictures and had
someone come along and use those pictures without permission. Though it is an
honor that someone loves your work, it is heartbreaking to see it used without
permission. The reason I mention this is
because it reminds me of how designers, musicians, photographers, etc. must
feel when someone uses their work without buying rights or having
permission. It makes me realize how much
more aware of this that I want to be. I
am already careful, but I want to make sure I cover my basis and get things the
correct way.
