When I was an English teacher, I used the web often to find lesson
plans or ideas. Now, as someone who works with faculty, I very often
have to come up with all of my own plans and materials for workshops or
classes I am teaching. At Dr. Kim's suggestion, I am going to work on a
plan for teaching about copyright issues in higher ed to KSU BCOE
faculty (this is the plan right now).
I've had a hard
time finding any lesson plans for working with folks in high ed (I'm
sure they are out there-). Right now, I am having to look at generic
lesson plans on copyright (even very elementary ones used to teach
middle schoolers).
Most of what I have found so far doesn't integrate technology at the
level that is required in this course. Most of them only use the
internet as a resource... One that I've found requires a simulator. I
guess any of the lesson plans that I will find will definitely have to
be tweaked.... especially since most faculty members know a good bit of
copyright already. My workshop will be more about raising awareness and
finding resources on campus that they can turn to if they have
questions about copyright and how it pertains to what they are doing.
The
page of 10 example websites will be difficult for me because of who my
audience is... I hope it won't mind that I am going to use sites geared
toward high school kids or college students.
Jordan, Would it be possible to connect with other higher education institutions to see what they have available? If the faculty is working with students who will eventually be teaching high school or college students, the sites you select with benefit the preservice teachers. I hope you're able to connect with other higher education faculty in finding appropriate sites for your audience.
ReplyDeleteYikes! I wouldn't think that it would be a problem to find plenty of higher ed examples, but I have never looked. I guess you can only use what you can find, and I know you are excellent at this type of work, so I'm sure that whatever you present will be great. Like Lynda said, maybe contact the "you" at Georgia State, or our other professors to see what they might suggest? Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI thought I was having trouble finding websites. That will be more difficult. I don't know if you'd be interested in branching out a little. We are working hard on creating classes that have OER resources (Open Educational Resources). These are resources that are put on the web for anyone to use. You can check the creativecommons.org site for some additional information. I'm not sure exactly where you're going with your seminar, but giving them OER training will help them find items they can legally use in their classes.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your site. I'm sure you'll figure it out.

ReplyDeleteYou know, just about every time, simply stated is most easily understood. Using a lesson for a younger student and gearing it up a little for an older audience may be a perfect solution.
ReplyDeleteGood luck finding things.
I remember a good YouTube video about copyright. We may have even seen it in one of these classes. It used Disney movies to make the point. Someone put a lot of work into it to make their point. Does that sound familiar?
Good luck finding what you need. Maybe go to university websites and look for their plagerisim/internet usage pages. Maybe they have great links there.

I was thinking of the video that Angie posted about as well. I think it was called a Fairy Use Tale or something like that. Clever!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the others that you do have a tough challenge in finding lesson plans for your examples page. There's not a lot out there for what you're trying to do! Linda had a good idea to connect with others out there in your role. You can also try to contact high school media specialists--ours had to present to us before school started, and we are also pretty well-informed about copyright law.
Good luck!
