This training will not only teach you about copyright issues, but will also show you how to integrate technology using social studies as the content.

Exactly what is the definition of copyright? Copyright is a form of protection provided by the laws of the United States (title 17, U.S. Code) to the authors of “original works of authorship,” including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works.

However, for educators there is “Copyright for Educators” and its Fair Use. Fair Use is the concept that if you are doing something for the greater good of society, like teaching, then your needs supersede the ownership rights of the copyright holder under the Copyright Act. Teachers, and by association, students, can legally use music, websites, video, print, images, and the whole realm of copyrighted materials for the purposes of teaching.

Some topics to consider as we share information

Copyright

Creative Commons * Fortunately, for the many limits pertaining to copyright laws, there is creative commons. * Creative commons allows people to share freely. The licenses allow people to collaborate without infringing copyright issues. * People are allowed to share videos, music, and other multi- media projects.

* Each group of four students are assigned a president to research on Mount Rushmore. * Each group will create a video presentation sharing information (using a teacher created rubric and organizer) they researched from the Internet and information from the book “What is Mount Rushmore?” * Students will create a presentation using “photopeach.com.” * Images of the presidents can be found using the Internet. Using Creative Commons, students can use images they find.
