What is it?
Networked technologies have changed the way in which information is created, collected, and shared. New methods of communication and information gathering are growing rapidly and require new protocols and safeguards to ensure their appropriate and effective use. School leaders must help members of the school community adapt to changes concerning intellectual property rights, fair use, and acceptable use of digital materials and technology.
Questions to Think About
- What guidelines should teachers and students have regarding copyright and plagiarism?
- What kinds of documentation should be kept to verify rights?
- What is an acceptable use policy? What should it address?
- What is "fair use" and where can I find more information about it?
- What implications does recent legislation, such as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, have for my school? What additional legal concerns are being discussed that may impact my school?
- Who owns multimedia course content developed by teachers? How can it be used?
