Artifact # 6
Handout for Students on Copyright Laws: to be used by the classroom teacher in a lesson so that the students gain full understanding of what has to be documented in their research and why.
Context
This handout for students was developed during my pre-service training
at Appalachian State University during the Fall 2000.
Impact
Students will gain understanding of the copyright laws and the documentation
that is expected of them when they do research on the Internet. The
teacher can use this handout as a guide during their lesson about copyright
laws and have the children sign it at the end. Compliance with the
copyright laws will become an established classroom policy that students
are expected to follow. If there are any questions about what to
document while they are researching, students will be able to refer to
their handouts. Teachers can make a copy of the signed handouts to
keep on file for their records.
Alignment
Teachers who give this handout to their students establish classroom
policies and procedures that ensure compliance with copyright laws (Tech.
Comp. 14.1).
