Candidates model and facilitate the safe, healthy, legal, and ethical uses of digital information and technologies. (PSC 4.2/ISTE 5b)
Artifact: Copyright, ITEC7445.
Reflection:
The artifact is a presentation made to teachers on copyright issues with specific attention to the use of video resources to promote teaching and learning. It introduces the audience to copyright and the opportunities that it gives to the author of the copyrighted material, what qualifies to be copyrighted and and what a copyrighted material looks like, and when one can use a copyrighted material. The presentation also explains related terminologies such as when a material is said to be in a public domain, what a fair use is, and the guidelines for multimedia presentations in educational fair use.
The presentation gives an overview of legal and ethical uses of multimedia presentation, making it meet the requirement of the PSC 4.2. Specifically, educators cannot use more than 10% or three minutes, whichever is less, of a copyrighted motion media work (video) without obtaining a permission from the author of the work. The instruction for which the video is used must be curriculum-based and there must be proper attribution and citation when they are used.
The presentation has had influence on the way I use videos and other materials with my students. To avoid violating copyright laws, all videos owned by others are used partially following the limitation provided by the guidelines and also make sure that authors of the video are attributed with their efforts. The videos are embedded on class website if they are found on YouTube, with proper citation provided. Alternatively, I make my own videos. If the presentation is to be made again, I would include legal cases that involve copyright issues in education.
