Copyright is a tricky subject, but understanding it is more important now than ever. This week I dove into how to ethically use media sources in my own work and how to be on the lookout for copyright infringement. A source that I learned about this week is creativecommons.org. I dive into what Creative Commons is and how it helps in understanding fair use of others’ work in this video. One stumbling block I had to overcome this week was understanding the difference between the six different types of licenses that are provided by the Creative Commons. Because each license has different restraints, it is important to understand what each of the restraints are and what they allow you to do. One of the most important realizations I came to this week was using my resources (and finding those resources) will be my best friend. In my video I list some websites I have found helpful when trying to filter and search images, videos, and audio by creative commons license. Some of these websites (Flickr), you can see I have used before when finding images for some of my other blog posts. Hobbs (2010) states that “nearly everything online is copyrighted”, which can cause issues in the classroom if students and teachers are not properly educated on where and how to find and cite the right material. Hopefully this video provides come clarity on Creative Commons and introduces you to copyright-friendly sources!
