Handy Resources for Teaching Copyright and Fair Use

Handy Resources for Teaching Copyright and Fair Use | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

An important part of responsible digital citizenship, according to ISTE Standards for Students, is the respect for "the rights and obligations of using and sharing intellectual property". Students need to learn that accessibility of information online does not necessarily make it copyright free. Unfortunately, I myself have learned this the hard way. I believe, the best and safest way to deal with the issue of copyrights online is to always seek permission from content owners.

New to me - Internet Archive Scholar "

This fulltext search index includes over 25 million research articles and other scholarly documents preserved in the Internet Archive. The collection spans from digitized copies of eighteenth century journals through the latest Open Access conference proceedings and pre-prints crawled from the World Wide Web". It brings up interesting results for Information literacy searches - I think it will be a source to consider searching along with others when doing subject searches. https://scholar.archive.org/

A Search Engine for Finding Free, Public Domain Images from World-Class Museums | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

Even before the pandemic, museums were putting their art online. Here on Open Culture, we’ve covered such ambitious efforts of digitization and making-available on the part of the Rijksmuseum, the Art Institute of Chicago, and other major institutions, some of whom have gone so far as to upload their holdings under Creative Commons licenses or in other free-to-use forms. And now you can call forth artworks from the open online collections and others all at once with the search engine Museo.

Three Good Resources for Teaching Fact vs. Opinion | Free Technology for Teachers

Three Good Resources for Teaching Fact vs. Opinion | Free Technology for Teachers | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

This afternoon I was talking with a few of my students about TikTok and its new relationship with Oracle. The course of that conversation brought up a lot of "I've heard X" and "I've read X" statements from my students regarding news about TikTok. As you might imagine would happen with teenagers talking about their favorite app, the conversation got animated. I spent a lot of time helping discern fact from rumors and opinions. All that to say, this afternoon reminded me to review facts vs. opinions with students. I used this Common Craft video, but there are some other good resources you might want explore. Those are outlined below.

Internet Archive Scholar - An Academic Version of the Internet Archive | Free Technology for Teachers | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

The Internet Archive warehouses all kinds of fantastic materials (and some not-so-fantastic) that can be useful to teachers and students. The trouble with it is the organization is a little clunky for research purposes. Even if you limit the scope of your search to webpages and text you can still spend a lot of time weeding out material that isn't academic in nature. That could be changing now that Internet Archive Scholar is on the horizon.

When it comes to searching for  niche-specific content Google search engine is not the best option out there. Although Google can be a good starting point from which you can delve deeper into the content area you are searching but you can save much more time by using content-specific search engines. In today’s post, we are sharing with you some examples of academic search engines student researchers and teachers can use to search for, find and access scholarly content.
