For this project, we are going to use Google Docs to create a collaborative copyright resource for educators. The final document, which will be a collaboration using GoogleDocs, should be saved as PDF, include all group members' names and which section(s) they contributed.

"Fair Use Harbor" http://www.stfrancis.edu/cid/copyrightbay/fairuse.htm
While copyright issues are boring. . .they are necessary!
For this project, we are going to use Google
Documents to create a collaborative copyright resource for educators. In this way, we are not only learning about important issues surround copyright issues in education, but you will learn how to use web-based word processing programs as a collaboration tool!
1. Sign in to your Google account (either Gmail or
Blogger). This will allow you to access Google Documents (remember: until they develop a better version for Safari, you must use Firefox ).
Option 1: Fair Use Harbor
1. In groups of 6 or fewer, decide who is going to start the document and then add the others as collaborators.
2. You group will collaborate to complete the Fair
Use Harbor Activity. This will be accomplished by taking the tutorials and quizzes that accompany each section listed below for Fair Use Harbor. -For each of the six areas, you will communicate the essential information for each of the 6 areas (ensure that each of the Six areas are easy to distinguish by category heading and author!!).
3. “Communicating the essential information,” can
be completed by writing a summarizing paragraph or using bullet points. In either case, ensure you define the topic and give specific information relevant to the topic. I expect that each section should be approximately ½ page, typed. After the summary, explain how this applies to you as a future or current classroom teacher. Note: This should be a separate paragraph with the lead in: "Application for Teachers: " . . .This can be accomplished in a very small paragraph that follows the essential information.
4. The final document, which will be a collaboration
using Google Docs, should be saved as PDF, include all group members’ names and which section(s) they contributed, and submitted via webCT. Even thought there is only one document, I want each group member to submit a PDF of the assignment (in GoogleDocs, you will export the document as a PDF).
5. I expect the final document to be an outstanding
future resource for your group!
Background Beach to find out a little history
of copyright and fair use, and why they are important to educators. Multimedia Wharf to find out about your fair use privileges in the creation of multimedia. Single Copying Inlet to find out about your fair use privileges in making copies of print materials for scholastic purposes. Cove of Multiple Copies to find out about your fair use privileges in making copies for students. Audio Visual Lagoon to find out the fair use and performance of videos and other media in the educational setting. Dist-Ed Point (to include the Pears of Wisdom video) to find out about copyright issues and distance education (as opposed to face-to-face teaching).
NOTE: This is going to be an artifact for NETS IV, so
you need to go into as much depth as possible in your summarizing paragraphs as necessary to really show you understand ALL ASPECTS of the issue.
Option 2: JCCS Internet Safety
This option will allow you to explore the issue of Internet/cyber Safety. You will explore six areas of cyber safety found on the JCCS Internet Safety Wiki http://jccsinternetsafety.wetpaint.com
1. In groups of 6 or fewer, decide who is going to
start the document and then add the others as collaborators.
2. You group will collaborate to explore the six topics
from the JCCS Internet Safety Wiki. This will be accomplished by completing 1 student assignment for each of the six areas on the wiki: 1. Internet Safety 2. Cyberbullying 3. Cyber Predators 4. Piracy and Plagiarism 5. Inappropriate Content 6. Social Networks
For each of the six areas, you will:
a. Define your topic (e.g. Cyber Predator, etc.) b. List the week number of the student assignment you will be completing (Cyber Predators, Week 1) c. Complete the student assignment (please include the questions along with your answers in the GoogleDoc d. Discuss why this is important to teach your students (ensure that each of the Six areas are easy to distinguish by category, heading, and author!!)
3. The final document, which will be a collaboration
using Google Docs, should be saved as PDF, include all group members’ names and which section(s) they contributed, and submitted via webCT. Even thought there is only one document, I want each group member to submit a PDF of the assignment (in GoogleDocs, you will export the document as a PDF).
