Standard 4.2 Safe, Healthy, Legal & Ethical Use
Candidates model and facilitate the safe, healthy, legal, and ethical uses of digital information and technologies. (PSC 4.2/ISTE 5b)
Artifact: copyright and fair use
Reflection:
For this standard, I am using a presentation of copyright and fair use of audio, created for ITECH 7445. This presentation was created to present to students on how to input and fairly use audio into presentations and projects they create now and in the future. I provided a variety of research that explained multiple scenarios in which audio use is considered fair use as well as examples of when it would violate copyright laws.
For this artifact, I modeled and facilitated how to use audio in current and future presentations and making sure students stay safe, healthy, legal, and ethical when adding audio to their presentations. By following the guidelines of the presentation, students and teachers will be able to continue using digital media in schools without having to worry about getting in trouble for it. Many times teachers are aware of the copyright laws when it comes to printing materials, but oftentimes we as teachers do not think about other forms of copyright such as video and audio.
By completing this artifact, I learned a few new laws about audio that I was unfamiliar with in the past. For one, I often do not think of audio as having copyright laws when completing activities for my students. I always knew about video and images, but for some reason skipped the audio part. While I did not violate copyright laws in my teaching career, some of the specific definitions and examples I found in my research made me realize that it would have been very easy to do so when it comes to the audio part of my presentations. One thing I would have done differently would have been to add more scenarios to my presentation. I added a few, but that just scratched the surface of different situations teachers and students can find themselves in.
This artifact impacts faculty development and student learning. By teaching teachers the copyright laws of audio, they will equip their students to do the same. The presentation presents teachers with guidelines they can follow when using audio in their lessons and presentations. The impact can be assessed by the decreased use of copyrighted audio within lessons teachers present and presentations/activities students complete.
