Copyright and Creative Commons
What stood out to me this week was that through fair use you are able to use material found online for purely educational purposes. My prior knowledge was that the rules surrounding copyright were much more rigid and difficult to navigate. I’m excited to check out the resources provided, including openverse, as I will likely be focused on arts-based courses. I think copyright, in general, is essential to teach teens in an increasingly visual society, especially when it comes to idea building and collaboration in workplaces and classrooms while skill building. I’d also like to get into privacy, and what it means to share online- especially creative works. In addition, the OER commons, or lesson builder I imagine will come in handy while planning, as it makes sense to share resources amongst teachers, and see how differing perspectives might influence a lesson.
