Through my research, I have learned that copyright is a
topic that teachers should make themselves very familiar with because many
people have misconceptions about what is and is not copyrighted on the internet
for use by the public, like us teachers!
As teachers, we use resources from the internet in our
lessons daily (videos, images, web links, social media supports, applications,
etc.). Teachers need to recognize that any original work on the internet is
protected by copyright laws, and that the copying, distributing, and displaying
of this material is actually prohibited! However, in Canada we have what is
known as Fair Dealing, which means that many things found on the internet can
be used by people for purposes of research, criticism, and review. This
information is directly noted in our handy4class article this week on Copyright
for Tech-Enhanced Teaching by Candice Figg. This article explains that teachers
and students should become familiar with the Creative Common license, what it
means, and how it affects their own use of digital media they find on the
internet.
This topic is very important, and I would teach my students using the guidelines in our Copyright Matters article for this week. These include answers to questions such as “What is fair dealing?”, and “Can teachers copy for instruction?”. Students need to learn that copyright laws cannot be overlooked and that ignoring or defying these laws has consequences.
