How will I deal with copyright issues in my classroom? Consider the use of music, images, video, and other media in student projects and teacher work.
I will use 15 minutes of the movie and focus on the most important parts of the movie that relates to my lesson and show just those parts. This way I won’t lose time or the interest of my students. If I really wanted to show a full length film, I would have to contact the copy right holder and get permission. Also, if I wanted to copy a chapter in a book, only one chapter is the acceptable amount. And the chapter cannot be too long. While this may seem unfair, it is not my work. Therefore, I must respect and know the copy right laws. I am a role model to my students and do not want them to see me doing something wrong. A way to get around these inconveniences, I could have the students buy the book, or I could recommend them to go see the movie. If I ever had any questions I would contact my district leaders. Knowing this, I will not let copyright issues ruin my career as a teacher.
