Copyright Basics for Teachers



Copyright Basics for Teachers. Produced by Royce Kimmons. YouTube. May 11, 2016. Accessed March 26, 2017. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9H6Ksp36q0.

I chose this video because it provides very valuable information about the ethical use of digital media in the educational setting. So many teachers believe that they can use anything “for educational purposes” and they are highly mistaken. It is so important that our teachers understand the terms copyright, fair use, public domain and creative commons and that they model the proper way to use digital media for their students. 

I was happy to find this video that was made specifically for teachers, because so many of the copyright videos for educational purposes are geared towards students. It is very informative, but easy to understand and learn from. I think that this would be a great video to show during teacher in-service at the beginning of a new school year and maybe again before teachers assign semester projects to their classes.
