| Title | 1-day Course: Copyright Issues for Educators 2004 |
| Body | More information available at: http://www.outreach.psu.edu/StatewidePrograms/Copyright/ Dear Educator: Those of us working in education know that the last few years have brought a maelstrom of new technologies and resulting challenges for teachers trying to cope with them. Until now, our primary focus has been working to incorporate these technologies into the classroom and to harness their educational capabilities--including access to vast reservoirs of information. However, the ease and speed of information access have led to a new challenge. We must now exercise greater care when using materials taken from digital sources such as the Internet. This is no easy task. Laws governing copyright can be confusing, and the ease of obtaining and duplicating information makes it ever-so-tempting to use materials unlawfully. As an educator, you have a responsibility to protect yourself and your students from the liabilities of copyright infringement. The most effective means of doing so is to make certain that you and your colleagues are better informed about the proper use of information. That's why I'm encouraging administrators and teachers to join me at Copyright Issues for Educators, a one-day course designed to bring middle- and high-school educators up-to-date on the changing landscape of copyright issues in the classroom. Educators can receive course credit or Act-48 hours. |
