3. HELLO FUTURE TEACHERS!! It is understandable that Fair Use and Copyright Standards are confusing and sometimes overwhelming at times. But don’t fret, because here is a helpful source for you and your colleagues to refer to at anytime. Just don’t forget to site it if you use it!! Good Luck!

4. COPYRIGHT FACTS  The Copyright Act of 1976, was enacted in October 19 th, 1976; which declared the well known framework of copyright rules that we know today.  It holds a very important position in the product of the Constitution, stating: “The Congress shall have Power... To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.” (United States Constitution, Article I, Section 8)  The violation of copyrighting someone else’s work is considered Plagiarism and is very frowned upon and worse, can get you into a lot of trouble.

5. COPYRIGHT BASICS  The Copyrighting Laws were created to protect intellectual property and its creator.  A piece of work is Copyrighted if it is Original, Creative and Tangible.  To successfully site someone else’s work/give credit to the creator, there are many easy ways to create citations or bibliographies of the books, websites, journals, video’s, etc.  Know that simply acknowledging where the source came from does not qualify as a correct citation and can put you in court.

6. COPYRIGHTING VIDEO The following link will direct you towards a helpful and very informational YouTube video that focuses specifically on copywriting and plagiarism. Though it explicitly only talks about plagiarism of YouTube videos, it is informative and can be related to multiple other situations. If you wanted to show a short video clip to your students about copyrighting or plagiarism, this would be a great video to show them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InzDjH1-9Ns

7. COPYRIGHTING KEEPERS As a future teacher especially in this changing age of technology, you will want to keep up with the rules and legalization of the content you obtain and provide to your students. From copies of lesson plans, fun games or articles you want the students to interact with, to simply just photos you’d like to share with the class as a hook. Everything you do with the internet needs to be carefully analyzed for copyrighting or fair use rules. Thankfully here is a great website that will show you a table diagram to help determine some of the unknown questions or uncertainties of obtained content and materials. http://www.halldavidson.net/copyright_chart.pdf

8. FAIR USE BASICS  “Fair Use is the legal sanctioned use of copyrighted material, without obtained prior authorizations or license, by educators, students, libraries, new organizations, critics, humorists, under certain circumstances.”  Four Factors to help consider weather the piece of information falls under Fair Use Guidelines are: 1.The purpose and character of the use. 2.The Nature of the copyrighted work. 3.The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole. 4.The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of the copyrighted work.

9. FAIR USE IS AS EASY AS 1-2-3  Know that there are no amount of words, lines, or quotes that may safely be taken without permission, and that acknowledging the source of the copyrighted material does not substitute for obtaining permission.  For some more guidance to weather something is Fair Use or not, continue to the following slides.

10. General Legal Use Legal Use by General Public: Examples Downloading a movie that you bought at a store onto your Computer or iPad. Paying for and downloading a song from iTunes, then burning a copy of it for your car. Creating your own video and then sending it to a friend or posting it online for everyone to see. This is okay.

13. Illegal Use Violation of Copyright Law, or/and Fair Use Guidelines: Examples Downloading anything off the internet and keeping it for yourself, or giving it to your friends or family. Taking someone else’s idea and posting it somewhere for others to see Basically any distribution of any work that is not yours, that you don’t have a license for, or you did not purchase legally. This is never okay without correct licensing or other forms of authority.
