Wk2 Wimba Session: Copyright Issues
The copyright laws make creativity not so fun. This topic is very deep and can make the life of a teacher trying to teach creativity very difficult. When the younger students work on projects and need to get images they are usually directed to the Internet to get them. The technology standards expect students to be able to perform the technology task. The laws say that each elementary school student must get permission or is it OK to simply site the source?
copyright = permission. Or... students can create their own original work, or get their creative friends to do the work for them. It is a tough subject, but doable. It is too bad that use of media in the classroom isn't automatically covered for free use, especially when it comes to training young artists and musicians.
