copyright

all original work is protected. it's all about the money.

plays, music, dance, movies, the form of an idea.

it lasts forever!

Fair use: Teaching, news Parody, critical comment

how do you know it's fair to use?
there are some rules: the ammount, commercial use

why use disney cartoons because they have legal protection.

A way around it is if you have fair use.

the only way to get in trouble is if we profit from it.

The TEACH act
Under the TEACH Act:
• Instructors may use a wider range of works in distance learning environments.
• Students may participate in distance learning sessions from virtually any location.
• Participants enjoy greater latitude when it comes to storing, copying and digitizing materials.

TEACH Act Requirements
In exchange for unprecedented access to copyright-protected material for distance education, the TEACH Act
requires that the academic institution meet specific requirements for copyright compliance and education. For the
full list of requirements, refer to the TEACH Act at www.copyright.gov/legislation/archive/.
In order for the use of copyrighted materials in distance education to qualify for the TEACH Act exemptions, the
following criteria must be met:
• The institution must be an accredited, non-profit educational institution.
• The use must be part of mediated instructional activities.
• The use must be limited to a specific number of students enrolled in a specific class.
• The use must either be for ‘live’ or asynchronous class sessions.
• The use must not include the transmission of textbook materials, materials “typically purchased or acquired
by students,” or works developed specifically for online uses.

Visions

A Vision of Students Today:
Very interesting and an eye opening video. I thought it was interesting when they listed all the things they do in a day and it added up to 26.5 hours. There are just not enough hours in the day.

Is technology here to save us? We spend so much time everyday doing things we don't need to do with technology.

But it does help speed things up with typing and other tools.

very interesting video.

Vision for The Future
teach me to think, to evaluate, to create.
let me tell a story digitally
engage me
digital learners.

I think we try to teach so much how we learned in school. using pencil and paper and stuff like that... but that isn't what the generation now does. Every generation is different. But do we want to have children rely on technology? where is the line? how much technology do we use as teachers, how much "old day" methods should you do. hard choice...
