The amount of intellectual property on the Web has exploded but the rules have remained the same since the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (1998) and the TEACH Act (2002). In this Webinar we will discuss the underlying fundamentals of Fair Use, copyright policy, and the classroom, and their application to digital content and the manipulation of tools in a Web 2.0 world. We’ll cover tips on copyright-safe searching (unavailable until recently), implications for content creation, and an exploration of what this means to wired classrooms. Classroom practitioners have both responsibilities and freedoms they are generally not aware of. Learn how these apply to the digital classroom. Also, hear the latest in copyright pro-active advocacy in the educational media from policy announcements on November 11, 2008. The webinar is hosted by Hall Davidson, whose published copyright guidelines hang on many classroom walls. Guests will include policy advocates and intellectual property experts.
