Classrooms for the Future Librarian/Coach Partnership
PSLA Pre-Conference Session

8:30AM – 1 PM
The Penn Stater, State College, PA
CFF Coaches and Librarians are invited to come as a team from your school to participate in this free event.
Registration: http://www.solutionwhere.com/pattan/cw/showcourse.asp?1261
Overview:
The morning will feature an exciting panel of librarian/CFF coach partnerships and an opportunity to delve deeply into the often confusing issues of Copyright, Fair Use and Creative Commons.
Coach & Librarian Partnership: Continuing the Conversation
CFF Coaches and High School Librarians have a common goal to help teachers and students achieve success. This portion of the session will be an opportunity to hear from successful partners and reflect on strategies for deepening the partnerships in home districts.
Is it Copyright Infringement or Fair Use?
Did you ever feel guilty about using images you found on Google Images, or a snippet of video, or song because someone told you that it was stealing other people’s copyrighted work? Well, it’s not just owners who have rights under copyright ~ users have rights, too. With the rise of digital media tools for creating messages, learning and sharing, it is critical for students and educators to understand their rights under copyright law and the Doctrine of Fair Use which allows people to incorporate copyrighted materials into their own creative work, especially when their new work adds value or re-purposes the existing materials. This conversation is designed to show that, when it comes to the use of copyrighted material for teaching and learning, the overall message is “YES, YOU CAN”. This is quite a different message from the “guidelines” of which many educators are familiar. After a brief introduction of the Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education (a national-level consensus among media literacy educators in K-12, university and after-school programs about how copyright and fair use applies to specific instructional practices involving uses and sharing of copyrighted materials) we’ll talk about why fair use matters to ensure that copyright law fulfills its purpose, under the U.S. Constitution, to help promote creativity and the spread of knowledge.
We will spend time examining scenarios, analyzing real student work and having conversations to help understand the process of reasoning what is transformative use, as well as what clearly is not. There also will be opportunities for exploring creative commons resources for images, audio, & video.
