1. Intellectual Property Level 6

2. Hey Everybody! My name is Tek. I ’ m going to be your guide today! I ’ m a part of i-SAFE America, and we are concerned with helping you to be safe online. We want you to recognize and avoid dangerous, destructive or unlawful online behavior, and we hope to empower you to communicate what you learn from i-SAFE with others.

3. All right – Let’s talk Empowerment Remember - Empowerment means you own what you learn and can use it to teach others and make a difference.

4. So not only are you learning and sharing, you are getting rewarded for doing so! i-SAFE includes an empowerment activity in every lesson. By completing the activity you may be eligible for neat incentives and prizes.

5. For this lesson you will be learning about intellectual property theft on the Internet. You will work in groups to fill in a persuasion chart and then create a public service announcement. The Plan

6. All Right – Let’s Get Started Who can tell me what the word Property means? Let’s brainstorm what we think this word means.

7. Time for Discussion 1.If you think something new and original up, or write, draw,or make something – is that property? 2.How is this different from the normal definition of property? 3.Why should these items be considered property?

8. Intellectual Property is a name used for material, or things that are intangible (you can't touch it) – like ideas, music, written word, and pictures. You may not be able to touch it, but it does have value to the person who made it.

9. Copyright Copyright: Copyright is legal protection provided by the laws of the United States to the creators of things - like books or other written works, as well as other dramatic, musical, and artistic works. Copyrighted works must be tangible and are protected from being copied, distributed, performed, or changed without the creator’s (or owner’s) permission. This protection is available to both published and unpublished works. © That means - something you create is protected.

10. Intellectual Property Intellectual Property has value to its owner. Copyright protects this value by giving the owner control of what can be done with his or her intellectual property. So…. It is wrong to copy or download articles, pictures, or other information from the Internet. When you download these items, the person who made them doesn’t get paid or get credit for their work, and you are stealing something that belongs to someone else. There are a few exceptions to this which are covered under Fair Use. These exceptions cover educational uses. $

11. Time to Brainstorm Brainstorm examples of intellectual property that you think have some type of value to the creator or owner

12. Time to Think If Intellectual Property has value, would it be okay to steal it from the one who owns it? Why or Why not?

13. Raise your Hand if: You have ever copied a picture. You have used someone else’s idea. You have downloaded music, software, or movies off the Internet. You have copied and pasted off the Internet for school work.

14. I hope you learned something – I know I did! All right – Time for an Activity! You’re going to complete a Persuasion Chart.

15. Pay Close Attention to these Directions - Persuasion Chart You are going to be doing an activity that involves filling out a persuasion chart. You will either read activity pages (6-27 to 6- 28) or the online computer reference material. You will then brainstorm in groups reasons why Intellectual property should be governed by rules and regulations. Meaning, when others take it, it is considered stealing, etc.

16. More on the Persuasion Chart If you are using computers you will be able to fill it in online. Your teacher should also give you a printed persuasion chart. In the first box to the left is the title - Intellectual property. That is your topic. The next three boxes to the left are for supporting reasons. Two have been filled in for you. You need to come up with a third reason in your groups for the third box. Finally, the column to the right has six boxes. You are to fill these in with examples supporting your reasons. The first reason is that intellectual property is worth money. You can prove this by giving examples of people purchasing CDs, which contain music – an Intellectual property.

17. And Last but not Least! At the bottom of the chart is an area to brainstorm a Public Service Announcement. These are short announcements conveying information to the listener. Almost like a commercial but educational. After you are finished with the chart you are to develop your own PSA. (Examples can be found on online at).

18. For a classroom with computers, return to the index and select Optional Webpage Activities: Lesson 5. Students should work in groups. When completed - Return here to Slide 20 to conclude. Otherwise – let’s continue on…

19. All right –Finished with the Chart? Once finished with your charts, your group will present them to the class. You’ll also share your PSA.
