22. PODCASTING
Legal Issues

23. Student Work Students own their own copyright
K-12 – Permission required from parents?
To transfer copyright, assignment must be in writing
As of now, there are no laws that state that permission of student’s work needs parent’s permission, But once again, Elizabeth Townsend, notes that this may occur in the near future. She stated in a paper that this was for not only the safety of the student but also for the profit that student could possibly gain from the podcast. Example: Music teacher and record a child’s work.

Watching in class
Assigning for homework
Sending students to a link

25. Using Others’ Podcasts – Be careful…
Including a part in your own podcast
Check content
Including a part in your own podcast…If you are using part or all of someone else’s podcast, you may or may not have a problem especially if the podcast is copyrighted. ‘
Check the content…
One teacher linked to another podcast site and overnight the podcast changed.
The podcast was not appropriate for the students, and thankfully he caught it before he had the class listen. Check content ALWAYS.
