1 Technology in the Classroom: Legal, Ethical, and Safety Issues By: Ryan Smack

2 Legal Issues Copyright Fair Use Creative Commons

3 Copyright What is copyright?  Copyright protects any new work that a person may come up with. This could be books, songs, videos, essays, and many other things (Auburn University, n.d.a). What does a copyright mean?  When a work is copyrighted it cannot be reproduced by other, adapted by others, distributed by others, and/or performed by others without the consent of the original author (Auburn University, n.d.a). Taken by David Wees

4 Copyright How can I get a copyright?  As soon as you come up with an original piece of work and document it your work is automatically copyrighted (Digital Media Law Project, 2011). Example: As soon as I write my original poem down on a piece of paper it is copyrighted.  If you feel the need you can also register your copyright with the Copyright Office in the Library of Congress (Digital Media Law Project, 2011). You can register your copyright at http://copyright.gov/eco/ http://copyright.gov/eco/

5 Fair Use The fair use guidelines allow students to use copyrighted material, if and only if they are using it for the correct reason. In order to use copyrighted material you must be able to answer yes to each of the following questions (Auburn University, n.d.b):  Am I using this material for educational purposes and not for profit?  Is the material I am using factual?  Am I using too much of the work?  Am I making it so the author does not make as much money (Columbia University, n.d.)?

6 Fair Use How much of a work can I use?  Graphics Five or less images from a single photographer. 10% or 15 images, whichever is less, from a single collection can be used (UMUC, n.d.).  Video Up to three minutes or 10% of the total video, whichever is less (UMUC, n.d.).  Digital Music Up to 30 seconds or 10% of a piece of music, whichever is less (UMUC, n.d.).

7 Creative Commons What is Creative Commons?  Creative Commons is a non-profit organization that allows for original work to be shared, the author can chose what copyright rules he or she wants to put on his or her work before it is shared. Creative Commons also has guidelines that should be followed when using work you found online (About- Creative Commons, n.d.). Example of using Creative Commons to modify the rights of a copyright: I may write a poem and want to share it. Under normal copyright laws it would be wrong for others to distribute it but I want them to be able to. With Creative Commons I can allow it to be distributed but say that no one is allowed to edit it and they must give me credit. Taken by Kristina Alexanderson

8 Creative Commons What are the Creative Commons Guidelines?  Cite the Author(s)  Tell where you found the information  When you modify someone’s work make it known that you did such  Do not remove any public domain marks or notices example: copyright symbol  If you modify someone’s work do not let others think that it is the original copy  When you come up with original works share them with others so they can use it  If you have something to contribute to another’s work, contribute it  Make sure your work is available in the way it is meant to be example: PowerPoints should be put online as PowerPoints not PDFs  Support others in the efforts to preserve and make original works(Public Domain Guidelines, 2013).

9 Creative Commons Using Creative Commons material in your work  https://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/ https://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/ Students can search for stock images that they can use in presentations without breaking any copyright rules.  http://search.creativecommons.org/ http://search.creativecommons.org/ Students can search many websites at once to find material that they can use. These websites include Google, YouTube, and SoundCloud.

10 Ethical Issues Gender Divide Racial Divide Socioeconomic Divide

11 Gender Divide What is the Gender Divide?  The gender divide is the fact that men are more likely to have careers in fields dealing with technology than women (Stanford University, n.d) Is there proof of the Gender Divide?  Women hold more than 50% of the total jobs in the US, in the technology field they make up less than 25% of jobs (Beede, Julian, Langdon, Mckittrick, Khan & Doms, n.d.).  In the UK only 17% of the jobs in the information, communication, and technology field belong to women (Johns, 2013).

12 Racial Divide What is the Racial Divide?  The racial divide is when minorities are less likely to have access to technology (Huskerson, 2013). Is there proof of the Racial Divide?  Over 75% of Caucasian households have internet access. Only 60% of Hispanics and African Americans households are hooked up to the internet (Huskerson, 2013).  Only around 50% of African Americans have a desktop computer in their homes while 65% of Caucasians have desktop computers (Smith, 2010).

13 Socioeconomic Divide What is the Socioeconomic Divide?  The socioeconomic divide is when low income households are less likely to have access to technology in the home then households with higher incomes (Thomas, 2008). Is there proof of the Socioeconomic Divide?  Around 75% of students coming from schools with a majority of low income students have access to computer at home. 95% of students from higher income schools have access to a computer at home (Thomas, 2008).  In a study only 60% of families with an income between $10,000 and $25,000 had access to a computer at home (Carroll, Rivara, Ebel, Zimmerman & Christakis, 2005).

14 Safety Issues Acceptable Use Policy Cyberbullying

15 Acceptable Use Policy What is an Acceptable Use Policy?  An Acceptable Use Policy is a document that lets you know how you are supposed to interact with technology and what is expected of you when you use technology. An Acceptable Use Policy should have acceptable uses of technology, unacceptable uses of technology, and the action that will be taken if you use technology in an unacceptable way (Common Sense Education, n.d).  Lets take a look at our Acceptable Use Policy: Worcester County Public Schools Acceptable Use Policy for Pre-K to 5Worcester County Public Schools Acceptable Use Policy for Pre-K to 5

16 Cyberbullying What is Cyberbullying?  Cyberbullying is repeated acts of aggression that takes place on electronic technology (What is Cyberbullying, n.d.). Does Cyberbullying really happen?  11% of the studied students from grade 6 through 8 said they had been victims of cyberbullying (Agatston, Kowalsk & Limber, 2007).  Although nearly 50% of students have been cyberbullied, only 10% actually report the bullying (Cyber Bullying Statistics – Bullying Statistics, n.d.).
