Mentoring K-12 Teachers Through the Copyright Maze
Are you charged with training and mentoring other teachers on copyright and fair use? Do your colleagues reach out to you with questions about what they can and cannot do? C&C has a course to help fellow teachers become positive role models and confident, knowledgeable instructors. Attendees will come away with a resource for teaching colleagues to navigate the copyright maze. We’ll focus on the teacher perspective:
-> what teachers need to consider when modeling and teaching copyright
-> the role of standards
-> plagiarism v. infringement
-> sharing resources
-> fiscal risks of infringement
-> the role of copyright given today’s technologies
