Innovative teachers, who are constantly exploring ways to engage learners through meaningful use of interactive technologies for instructional activities, may be found in all schools. As a result of their efforts, legal issues related to student privacy, free speech, copyright and fair use, attribution and publishing standards may be encountered. What must teachers know in order to steer clear of the pitfalls associated with each? What guidelines should be in place, at the school level, to prevent liability? This online course, an introduction to Web 2.0 legal issues, provides participants an opportunity to become knowledgeable about the issues, learn what is necessary to avoid them, and apply this knowledge to encourage ethical digital citizenship of their students. |
