Reducing Copyright Confusion
Nov 9th, 2008 by Cathy Jo Nelson
This Tuesday there is a LIVE presentation given by Joyce Valenza among others on a long and extensive attempt to make copyright less confusing for educators. Have you heard of it?
The presentation will be broadcast live via streaming video, and if you can participate in a UStream chat OR a “Cover-it-Live” chat, you can be heard! You can ask your questions or make comments.
This presentation will release the code of best practices as it relates to copyright. There is a quiz to see just how much you know, and the clearest explanations you can want for copyright in the educational context.
Can’t make it live at 9:00AM On Tuesday, November 11? That’s okay, the video presentation will be archived on the wiki, and the presentation itself is already available for viewing AND downloading NOW.
When? Tuesday, 9:00AM East coast time, November 11, 2008
Where can you see it? the video will be LIVE in the wiki!

Cathy…
The slides above were only a piece of the puzzle. On Tuesday they will be sharing the statement they created that outlines cases where use of copyrighted materials for teachers and for students as content CREATORS is clearly fair use! They have really cool curriculum content and video examples. Remember copyright is designed to protect content creation…creativity & innovation…not JUST the copyright owners. Very exciting document for schools. The wiki will have links to ALL that is shared on Tuesday
Thanks for pointing this out, Cathy! Valuable info!
