Copy+King+Discussions


 * Copy King Discussions**

Reference page done but one extra space I cannot get rid of!! Other than that, hopefully done. Brenda 11/25 10:15 pm Tony, thanks for upgrading the reflection part. Is everyone set with this for now or more changes? I'll add a quick reference section today. Brenda 10/24

Hi, all. I have (as you can see below) taken comments from page and created a new discussion page. Created a new one because the actual discussion page did not allow for enough characters as a regular page would. I added a title, a blurb about the worksheet not constituting law, grouped the resources into subcategories, and a reflection section for the trans formative concept. I would also be happy to do a quick reference section at the end before we "publish". I am waiting for Jane's instructions so that I can mesh everything else with those. Once we have that, I will make sure the reflection part works, do the references and we should be DONE. If anyone wants anything added, changed or wants to contribute further, please make a note here and we will amend the sheet. Is that all right with everyone?? We are doing OK for time. Brenda 11/24 (930 am) **According to Ken, a reference page may not be required because the resources are embedded because it will be web format. However, I think it would be a good idea in light of the nature of the assignment. Shouldn't take long and I don't mind doing one at all. Is this OK with everyone?? Brenda 10/24 (1045 am)**

**Jane, thanks for adding the jigsaw component. As a non educator, I am wondering if we can make the assignment directions more explicit. Also, the section on resolving copyright infringement is a bit vague to me and may be to students. I am just wondering if we can expand on this area a bit and provide more instruction/steps. What do you all think? Would that work for everyone? Tony, you are welcome to change the reflection section in any way you want. I just wanted to include the component but details can be changed.**

Okay. In reading through some of Ken's comments, I added the disclaimer re the issue he cautioned about. Also, re Ken's advice on strongly considering transformativeness with respect to student work in the assignment..Thinking we may want to add a short discussion or reflection component that would allow students to share a copyright mistake they or someone else may have made and how this assignment clarified that for them. Ken made it a point and I want to incorporate as many suggestions as possible. He also noted the importance of distinguishing plagiarism vs. copyright which we should take into consideration when finalizing resource list. Brenda 10/23 - Brenda, not sure what others think of these ideas, but I'll take one of them and add it to the final product if you want to take the other one? - Tony 10/23 Tony, that's fine. We may want to check to see what the jigsaw instructions say then add the "discussion or reflection" part after so it meshes.. What I think we should do is to move all discussion threads to the discussion page so we can use this page just for the presentation. Then, we will have a clear template with which to work. I will do that now. Brenda 10/24

Right now, it seems as though we have TOO many resources! :) Is everyone ok with the idea of an assignment and Becky's worksheet? To complete the worksheet, why don't we use Becky's chart handout, the student-friendly video she found, and Raymond's links at the bottom of the page. Using those links, I think students could complete the assignment. (Jane) Sounds good to me Jane -- we are spinning our wheels and time is running out. I went ahead and added scenarios to the chart. (Becky) Thanks Becky! I like the scenarios; I think it clears up some confusion. (Jane)

I think Raymonds links will work, but I think the ones I found below (from Purdue, etc.) might also help also as they address today's situations students would likely face. How would we like those shown/represented?? Brenda 10/23

Sounds good everyone. Let's go for it. I love the chart and I feel that the combination of resources above will be enough for our students to navigate and find the inforamtion needed to discover and create on thier own. Let's finish this thing! (Raymond) 10/23 The assignment needs work? Do we want to jigsaw the activity? Do we want groups to look at all scenarios? (Becky) I'm a fan of jigsawing. If no one has any objections, I'll write some jigsaw directions at the bottom of the worksheet tomorrow (Jane). 10/23 Becky, I would love to do this jigsaw style. Jane, if you need any help with the jigsawing direction s get in touch with me through Facebook or something as I'd love to help with that. - Tony

more student friendly video about copyright and the creator Article about the difference between plagiarism and copyright infringement chart handout about Fair use guidelines for teachers

= 10/23 Okay, so where are we with below ideas? I've tinkered with the chart and deleted some of out dialogue. Do we want links in the chart for each type of media, or do we want an list of resources with links? I moved some links to clean things up a little. (Becky). = = =
 * Here's an idea: maybe we could put together a prompt for a project which would ask students to use a number of links (which we would provide above) to create an informational guide to copyright infringement. Our assignment is to create a guide for students and Bloom's would suggest that the best way for students to learn would be for them to synthesize information or create. What do you all think? (Raymond)**


 * That sounds great in terms of using the content on the resources provided. Are you expecting the students to incorporate or work with text, digital, video media in the same assignment? If so, I will focus more on issues w digital, video, etc. for the resources. Brenda**

**I guess I should have specified that. I feel we should address each area of content that students access; in fact, internet and media would be even more relevant perhaps since that is what is used by our students most. Below are some resources that relate to plagiarism and the issue of paraphrasing and citing information.**

I came across some helpful articles, pages, etc. I wanted to not only focus on more of the digital aspect but also look for lists "don'ts". Since copyright law can be somewhat vague and confusing (depending on which media used), I thought students would benefit from some lists of "do's and don'ts." They include those below. I always find the stuff from Purdue pretty helpful regarding style, etc. They hit on written, digital, video and audio and cover many of mistakes students could make. Brenda [] [] [] [] []
