Standard 4.2: Safe, Healthy, Legal and Ethical use
Candidates model and facilitate the safe, healthy, legal, and ethical uses of digital information and technologies. (PSC 4.2/ISTE 5b)
Artifact: Audio Copyright Assignment
Reflection:
The purpose of the Audio Copyright assignment was to explain the meaning of copyright and how audio materials are protected or not protected under the audio copyright law. This artifact also provides specific examples of audio recording protected or not protected under the copyright law. These examples serve as a guide for safe, healthy, legal and ethical use of audio recordings in the learning environment. Recommendations were made for protecting oneself from copyright crime as a consumer and as a producer of audio content.
ISTE standard 4.2 establishes how digital audio content may be protected or not protected under the intellectual property law. By applying research on copyright laws, I modeled and facilitated a presentation that detailed specific strategies for maintaining safe, healthy, legal and ethical use of copyrighted materials. For example, the “Poor Man’s” law is a practice of protecting one’s intellectual authorship by sending the work to him or herself. The limitations of this strategy were explained in this artifact as it does not replace registration of one’s intellectual property. By using graphics and visuals, this artifact modeled and facilitated a presentation that summarizes the consequences for abuse of copyrighted materials – fines, jail time, etc. This artifact concludes the presentation by including a copyright law quiz to assess the knowledge of the audience at the end of the presentation.
In compiling the Audio Copyright assignment, I learned about the “poor Man’s” copyright, which I had never heard about. I also learned about its limitation when applying the intellectual property law. Under the 1976 Copyright Act, which became effective January 1, 1978, a work is automatically protected by copyright when it is created. A work is created when it is “fixed” in a copy or phonorecord for the first time. Neither registration in the Copyright Office nor publication is required for copyright protection under the present law. What I would have done differently would be to explore how copyright laws apply to other intellectual properties besides audio recording.
This artifact contributes to school improvement as t establishes digital citizenship, legal and ethical use of digital resources for students and educators. It may be assessed by participating in the presentation and taking the quiz at the end of the process. The copyright law is a legal requirement for accessing and using audio materials. It protects both the consumer and the user. Both students and teachers should be exposed to the intellectual property law to protect their consumption or production of audio materials. This artifact promotes strategies for safe, healthy, legal and ethical use of digital audio content.
