Why teachers and students are at risk for copyright infringement …

I’m teaching. They’re learning.We can use whatever we want because it’s all fair use, right?

Lack of enforcement or consequences.

Why teachers and students must understand copyright and fair use …

1. In the 21st century classroom, teachers and students are increasingly content creators and publishers; their work often includes the intellectual property of other creators.

2. BCPS has an official Copyright Rule to ensure legal and ethical use of copyrighted material by students and staff, and to protect the school system from copyright infringement liability.

3. Copyright infringement is more easily detected on the Web.

Why teachers and students must understand copyright and fair use …

4. We must model and teach digital citizenship in order to prepare globally competitive graduates for college, careers, and life.

5. As content consumers and creators, teachers and students should be informed about complying with copyright laws, respecting the intellectual property rights of others, sharing their own creative works, and protecting their own intellectual property rights.

Some Actual BCPS Scenarios

Use the resources on the Copyright & Fair Use resource wiki page to help you think about these scenarios and decide if each use of intellectual property is:

• Legal Use: Works from the public domain, used with permission, or used according to the copyright holder’s Terms of Use or licensing agreement such as Creative Commons license (used according to copyright; no fair use determination needed)

• Fair Use: Copyrighted works whose use meets the guidelines for all four Fair Use factors (an exception to copyright)

• Copyright Infringement: Copyrighted works used illegally-- without permission, not according to copyright-holder’s terms of use or license, or not in compliance with Fair Use guidelines.

Scenario #1

DDL resource teacher Ben Wagner wanted to use the P21 logo on the DDL Resource wiki. Although BCPS is an official member of the Partnership for 21st Century Skills, Ben decides to email P21 to request permission to use the copyrighted logo. P21 gives BCPS permission to use the graphic on our wiki via email.

Scenario #2

A curriculum writer found a West African Cinderella story retold by a folktale expert and published on the expert’s 365 Cinderellas blog. However, the blog site was blocked for students in school. So, the curriculum writer copied the text of the entire folktale from the blog page onto a Microsoft Word document for a lesson in the curriculum guide, providing a source citation on the page.

Scenario #3

A teacher creates a PowerPoint featuring digital photos to illustrate Science concepts. The teacher provides a citation below each photo. The URLs are quite long and all begin with http://www.google.com/... The teacher plans to post the PowerPoint file to BCPS One for future student reference.

Scenario #5

Students in a middle school English class researched wild animals and created Web pages including digital images from the Internet. These Web pages were so well done that their teacher had the Office of Library Information post them on their public BCPS Web site. Students cited their information sources, but did not cite sources for the images they used; the images may be protected by copyright.

Scenario #4

BCPS Elementary Lighthouse Schools created “Vision Videos” which they posted to their Edmodo group site. Some schools used commercial, copyright-protected music. BCPS would like to post these on the BCPS public Website as well.

Scenario #5

Student partners “mashed up” photos of themselves with two photos from the Internet. They used these as the opening and closing images in a “Virtual Tour of the Serengeti” video created for a class research project. Both photos were licensed by the copyright-holder with Creative Commons licenses for non-commercial re-use and re-mixing with attribution. The students attributed both photo sources in their video's closing credits. The video was shown to the student’s classmates in school, then posted on the school library Web site for public access.

Scenario #6

Grade 6 ELA curriculum writers plan to have students create graphic novel adaptations of episodes from folktales or classic stories. Since the original texts are beyond most students' reading abilities, they decide to use animated video clips. They find YouTube clips from Disney movie versions and Read-Along books of some well known stories like Aladdin and Cinderella on a Disney Vintage YouTube Channel. The YouTuber’s discussion posts mention that she’s had copyright issues with YouTube. Nevertheless, the curriculum writers include links to her YouTube videos in the curriculum guide for teachers to show their students in class.

Scenario #7

Students researching the planets for Science class are creating PhotoStories including digital images. They find two websites with tons of planet photos, one published by NASA and the Cal Tech Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and another published by the National Earth Science Teacher's Association (NESTA). Images from such organizations are typically in the public domain or copyright-friendly for educational use. To be certain, the students' teacher and librarian direct them to examine the copyright policies/terms of use for both Web sites to determine if and how images may be used in student projects. The students follow the terms of use for the images they have selected, and their PhotoStories are presented to the class and published on the school Web site for their parents to see.

Scenario #8

Middle school students are reading the novel Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry in English class. Their teacher uses some brief and extended clips from the movie Sounder to help students visualize the historical setting and other elements in the novel: the deep South in the 1930's, the Great Depression, sharecropping, segregated schools, Jim Crow laws, relations between white and African Americans, etc. Students complete an anticipation guide as they view the clips. The teacher is using a DVD borrowed from the public library.
