Notes de l'éditeur
Discussion points: Ask kids what they already know about copyright. Correct misperceptions (many will talk about plagiarism or copyright infringement) , but don’t give to much of a “lecture” pending the rest of the questions.
Discussion points: What can be the challenges with contacting the creator?
Discussion point: The key word is LEGALLY. Point out that one exception to this is fair use. If a work is not going to be published or shared and is only being used in the classroom, fair use applies, but you still need to cite the source.
Discussion points: Discuss how long this might be (average lifespan + 70 years). This is a very long time! (And the trend of legislation has been to make this longer.) Some people are concerned that this is too long. What are the challenges with this? Talk about things that have gone out of copyright – public domain. What are examples? (Shakespeare)
Discussion points: What are the exceptions to this? Kids should know by now that fair use is an exception. Ask students if they know of any other exceptions. (Some may know that sometimes a creator will give you permission to share in advance…see next slide).
Discussion points: Ask kids why successful musicians might make music available for free and for sale on CDs? (Answers: promotion, easy of use, etc.) Ask kids what they know about Wikipedia. What makes it different from other encyclopedias? (Answers may include: it’s free; it’s online; it has more information; anyone can edit it.) Discuss the point that anyone can edit Wikipedia. How is this good? (More information; more accurate; involves everyone) How is it bad? (Could be inaccurate information; vandalism). Go to a Wikipedia article (for example, one about your school district.) Edit it together. Encourage students to feel empowered. This is what open resources are all about.
Discuss different licenses. (These are included on student handout as well.)
These are all “student friendly” resources. (There are many others, like Flickr, but they may have content unsuitable for classrooms. These can be discussed if you like or if students bring them up.)
Discussion points: Do an example together. Read a portion of a poem. Have students talk about the tone of the poem. Have them describe the types of images they might look for BEFORE going to a photo web site. Ask them to describe not only the content, but the tone and other qualities of the image (dark vs. light, happy vs. sad, etc.) Then go to www.openphoto.net and search for photos. Talk about search strategies. Look at images to see which might be most appropriate. Select an image and have student identify the source (person) and license. Copy and paste the image into a Word doc and show how to write a credit line, e.g. “Credit: George Mann from www.openphoto.net.” Segue into an activity where students go to computers and start finding images for their own project. Make sure they think about photos that are appropriate to their work and that they include credits.
