Reflection VI
School Library Media Specialists are able to encourage teachers to understand Copyright and Fair Use Laws. Each of the ALA Standards 1-4 requires that we “Respect the principles of intellectual freedom.” Standard 1 specifically requires we “Follow ethical and legal guidelines in gathering and using information” and “Respect copyright/intellectual properties rights of creators and producers.” (ALA/AASL p. 4) If we are making copyright and intellectual property an important issue with our teachers it will cause our teachers to make it important in their classrooms. There are many resources available to teachers to help them communicate a very complicated subject. This webliography is full of websites that are tailored specifically toward the classroom. Our students are surrounded by music, videos, and images, they are provided with the software to create and the means to publish globally. We must equip our teachers to begin the dialog of fair and ethical use of others material. In an attempt to begin effective teaching regarding copyright I have created and made available this lesson plan, which accompanies this power point, on plagiarism, paraphrasing and citation.
