Jennifer attended a conference on copyright. She though all the
material used in school was “fair to use”. After the conference she
realize she had violated the rights of the artist. Ms. Jennifer did some
research on property rights laws for school in Germany. Her students in
the 9th grade did a project about copyrighted material was,” get
permission first“. (International Society For Technology in Education).
Ms. Jennifer introduce issues to her students about the limited knowledge
she know about copyright laws. There are misuse of intellectual property
that compared it to stealing physical objects. The example society give is
a child goes into a store and steal a candy bar. There was no legal action
taking because the child didn’t know what he was doing. Once the police
talked to the child and the child said he was sorry. The law drop the
charges. Jennifer said this is the mind set of people and students. If I get
caught I will be ignore by the law. After the project was done the students
understood the important of getting permission for use of pictures, videos,
and music that they use in public domain. The next year Ms. Janesko had
training on intellectual property rights for all of the teachers. The goals was
to make sure the teacher could teach the students about literacy so the students can make responsible decisions on the use of media
in the classroom projects. The curriculum used was to discuss
identified different types of licenses, ownership issues, and
practiced reviewing projects. The teachers and the students had
more respect for the law. I enjoyed reading this article it was a learning
project for me.
Summary
This article gave you several views on the misuse of intellectual property
right laws used by the schools. Many teachers do not have the training
to help students know the ethic right o the author, video, and any person
material you use that is not yours. You must ask for permission to use
other people work. You can go to jail for not getting permission. Young
people must realize this is a serious problem. This is why Jennifer and the
other wanted you to know the negative consequences for taking credit when
you use someone else work. Children learn through model from teacher and
parents. In this article Jennifer and Tammy gave training on Intellectual
Property Right Laws. These lady started an curriculum to help the students
understand ownership issues, identified different types of licenses, and
practiced reviewing terms of the use agreements. After completing the
project student took copyright issues very serious. This class taught them
to make responsible decisions on legal matter concern the public
domain.
My though Question
If teacher do not clearly understand about copyright issues. How
can they teach the students.
