A Teacher's Guide to Fair Use



I would like to share this fantastic Resource from the website Edudemic:
"Today, so much of our research happens online, and part of what makes the internet so wonderful is the ease at which it brings information into our lives. But when that information is so easily available to us, it is sometimes easy to forget that someone else produced that information, and they deserve credit. Plagiarism is as much an issue now as it ever has been (we’ve even devoted a portion of an issue of Edudemic Magazine to learning about the anti-plagiarism tools available for teachers and students). Teaching students about copyright is more than just letting them know that they should be doing their own work, and not copying off the web.
Luckily, there are a number of resources on the web which make copyright and fair use guidelines much more clear. Many are designed especially for teachers, so that it is clear what you can and can’t use and under what circumstances.
The below graphic was created by Tech and Learning and more information is available over at Hall Davidson’s site."
It is possible - and encouraged - to print out a copy to refer to.  Let me know if you need help with that.  mb

Happy New Year All,

My inbox is full of End-of-the-Year Round-up and lists of amazing ways to integrate technology in the classroom in 2013.

I thought I'd share a trio of my favs:

The Daring Librarian Super Geeky Tips for the New Year


The Daring Librarian reminds us it's time for some tech housekeeping: update passwords, clean up and save files, edit privacy settings and back up data to name a few.  Excellent advice!



I know how many of you are addicted to Pinterest... Edudemic provides a great list of boards to explore for ed tech ideas.  




Edutopia lists Collaborative Learning, Social Media, Open Education Resources, and the Common Core among the Big Education Ideas of 2013.  Interested in learning more?  Take a few minutes to explore this comprehensive list of blogs, videos and articles.
