Copyright in the Classroom

Copyright is an important issue for students and teachers to consider.  For me it is an ongoing battle to fully understand the regulations and use materials in my classroom in the best, most productive way possible.

  • Smartcopying is a website that provides national guidelines for Australians who are interested in understanding more about copyright.
  • BTN is generally a great website with current events videos that you can use in your classroom, lesson plans and other resources.  This week they have a special on copyright.
  • Creative Commons is a service that allows you to find materials that you can copy and use legally, sometimes even commercially.
Also if you have ideas or opinions on the issue of copyright you can participate in a discussion going on in the Edna blogging community.  If you are an Edna groups member click here to read.

Wow Concetta! These are great - thank you. Especially love the BTN resources. I find Behind the News is great to help students (and staff) with complicated issues. I would say that Copyright falls into the "complicated" issues!

Thanks Lucy. I'm no expert and there are so many different issues to consider.

Another resource on copyright in the classroom. This one clearly states that teachers can download and use Youtube videos for educational purposes. Still plenty to think about. http://curtininnovationteam.wikispaces.com/Youtube+TeachersTv+KeepVid
