Episode 12:
Be on Top of Copyright, Fair Use, Creative Commons, and Public Domain in your Classroom
October 22, 2021
We can, in our classroom, make this a customary practice and develop a conscientiousness in our students about copyright, intellectual property, and checking licenses of media to make sure we can use them in our instruction, student learning, and their assessment.
Teaching Copyright, Fair Use, Creative Commons, and Public Domain in the 21st century when our society and education institutions are laden with media should have the utmost importance for teachers in teaching our students how to share and use media in their education and personal lives.
Learn how to teach, model, and create an intellectual rights respectful community, classroom, and culture.
