- How can one refrain from violating FERPA guidelines in online communication?
Online communication should be used to request verbal communication if a grade or other confidential information is going to be shared. Teachers should not email students regarding their grades but instead email students to set up a meeting to discuss grades or other confidential information. Also, as teachers learn to use online tools, such as Google Classroom, they must be very careful regarding what they choose to share with the entire class, in regards to blog posts, questions and assignments.
- What methods could be employed to verify that copyright is not being violated?
1. Purchase licenses to use educational materials.
2. Make sure the document says, "Can Be Reproduced for Classroom Use"
3. Email another teacher and ask to use their intellectual property for one time classroom use and attribute it to them.
4. Make your own lessons and handouts.
5. Use pre-copyright materials.
- Does copyright require that all work, images, words, and graphics must be original?
No. Fair Use Laws dictate how you can use copyrighted materials. In the classroom, the four factors apply most of the time because we are not deriving any monetary gain from teaching certain documents or creative works.
