All about sharing resources

OER - Open Educational Resources; digital, free and open to use

We need to be aware of copyright violations; the kids cannot simply find pictures with a google image search.

This opened my eyes to the blatant disregard of copyright laws in the classroom. YIKES! ALWAYS CITE SOURCES - URL is fine for images.

Fair Use - in the classroom, our idea is a bit broader than the actual policy.

Copyright C (restricted to use with permission) vs. Public Domain PD (not copyrighted; unrestricted use)

Creative Commons CC - you own the copyright, but say that its okay to share the content Recommended for Education - CC BY (Attribution) use how you want, cite the source (citation required for everything)

MLA and APA have formal citation formats for media

Google images - go to advanced search; under the usage rights select "labeled for reuse with modification" (you can adjust the image, insert it into a project, add text to it, etc.)
