14. Scenario #2 A curriculum writer found a West African Cinderella story retold by a folktale expert and published on the expert’s 365 Cinderellas blog. However, the blog site was blocked for students in school.

Is this a legal use, fair use, or copyright infringement?

16. Scenario #5 Students in a middle school English class researched wild animals and created their own wiki pages including digital images from the Internet. These pages were so well done that their teacher linked them on the school’s public website for a wider audience to see. Students cited their information sources, but did not cite sources for the images they used; the images may be protected by copyright.

21. Scenario #6 Curriculum writers plan to have students create graphic novel adaptations of episodes from folktales or classic stories. Since original texts (in the public domain) are beyond most students' reading abilities, they decide to use video-recorded Read-Along books of some well known stories like Aladdin and Cinderella found on a Disney Vintage YouTube Channel. The YouTuber’s discussion posts mention that she’s had copyright issues with YouTube. Nevertheless, the curriculum writers include links to these YouTube videos in the curriculum lesson for teachers to show their students in class.Read-Along books YouTuber’s discussion posts Is this a legal use, fair use, or copyright infringement?

22. Scenario #7 Students researching the planets for Science class are creating multimedia projects including digital images.

The teacher and librarian direct students to locate and examine the copyright policies/terms of use for both Websites to determine if and how images may be used in student projects. The students carefully follow the terms of use for the images they have selected.

24. Some Best Practices Do not use copyrighted images in curriculum materials without permission. Use copyright-free or copyright- friendly media (public domain,.gov, Creative Commons licensed, used according to Terms of Use, by subscription) Check Terms of Use or Copyright Statements on Websites. Hyperlink rather than downloading or copying from Internet websites when appropriate (considering Ads). Worried about Ads on a website or website blocked for students? Check our databases for similar content. ALWAYS use attribution (credit the original source), even when using media legally (in the public domain, by subscription, with permission, according to Terms of Use or Creative Commons license, etc.) Remember that Google and Bing are never original source!

25. Some Best Practices Do not download video or sound files from Websites, YouTube, etc. and post them in BCPS One without copyright holder’s permission. Check to see if YouTube videos are available elsewhere on the Web (School Tube, organization’s website) Do not use links in curriculum to sites like ViewPure, which take YouTube videos out of You Tube to strip out the ads and allow student access. When in doubt, seek permission from the copyright holder. Contact them via email and use the BCPS Copyright Permission form. Image: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Copyright-checkmark.gif
