It is very important that teachers address the issues and rules of copyright as a teacher as well as for the students. There are many, many sites that share images, sounds and video for other to view, but not download, while others allow downloads for personal/educational use. There are still guidelines and rules to follow without infringing on the rights of others.
Anything taken from the Internet
(text, images, sound, video...)
whether for use in a paper
publication or for publication
on the Internet MUST comply with
Canadian copyright laws. For
detailed information consult
Internet and the Law.
When you use materials created
by someone else most licenses or
copyright restrictions demand
that you:
-
Give attribution - give credit to the person who created the material
-
Provide a link to the site it came from
-
Include information about the use (e.g. the Creative Commons license)
If the material
does not have a creative commons
license, you must check the site
