Goal: To identify and explain the rules and expectations of fair use, an online educational presence, etiquette, and privacy. Assessment
• Review a student use plan and critique it • Locate and use Creative Commons licensed media
|
Why • In general, not breaking the law is a good thing. • Demonstrating good digital citizenship helps you earn and keep good jobs • Kids (and adults) don't always know what solid digital citizenship look like |
Fair Use/Copyright • It's not legal to use someone else's work without some form of attribution, unless it is explicitly licensed for reuse. • Educators have some leeway under fair-use guidelines, but it is open to interpretation. • The general rule is that educators may use up to 10% of a copyrighted work, with attribution, for classroom multi-media presentations. This rule, however, depends on the situation and is not cut and dry. | Evaluating Sources/Plagiarism Things I tell/show my students • Look at dates on websites; try for current information • Avoid answer sites - they may be wrong • Avoid wikipedia - it's likely too much information or beyond your reading level for basic research • Search tips - don't type questions into google - focus on keywords, leave out and/the - add students or kids to the end of your search • Look for .edu or .gov or .org (though this is not always reliable) Citing Sources • Tools --> Research ---> Cite in a Google Doc • Link to your list of tags and highlights in Diigo • Create a MentorMob Plagiarism • Copy and paste into google • Many high schools have Turn it In • Check for plagiarism here | Privacy/Social Networks/Parents • Email at Public Institutions is supposed to be archived by law Privacy Paranoia? Questions to research: What percentage of abducted children are taken by someone they don't know? What percentage of abuse victims are abused by someone they don't know? Can you find a specific case of an abuser or adductor using a school website to target a victim? |
