Fair use (17USC107) allows certain unlicensed uses of protected materials for use in study, research, and education. Without this, it would be virtually impossible to write research papers without infringement or overwhelming paperwork.
The principles of teaching guide educators in understanding how students learn and what strategies are most effective in facilitating learning. Teaching methods are practical techniques that educators use to deliver information and engage students in the learning process. By applying both principles and methods effectively, educators can create meaningful and engaging learning experiences for their students.
They can use one on one teaching to assist the student. They can also give out special assignments to each student to help assist with their learning styles.
Educators can teach students to be empathetic and honor other students differences. Educators could establish anti-bullying programs ect.
For most educators, a basic understanding of the exclusive rights conferred, fair use, the classroom exemptions, and the TEACH Act will cover most issues. The website linked below is a good place to start (US only).
First off, Id like to direct your attention to the Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education. The Code was designed by educators (with legal advice!) to help educators make these determinations for themselves, because Fair Use is always case-by-case, and context is everything. The specific characteristics of the student project, purpose, and the use of copyrighted materials are all components of the context and situation that need to be considered. Principle 4 in the Code states that students can use copyrighted materials in their own academic and creative work on media literacy, incorporating, modifying and re-presenting existing media objects into their own classroom work.
I visited the scholastic book fair to purchase some new books for my students.
Some uses may be considered "fair" within the law, in the case of face-to-face teaching activities. It's not necessarily the case that all uses by students would be fair.
Many educational publications specifically license classroom use. Limited photocopying and other unlicensed uses are often covered by the fair use defense. There is an excellent discussion of copyright for educators at the link below.
Piaget's theory is used in schools today to understand how students learn, particularly in terms of cognitive development and stages. Educators use his idea of constructing knowledge through experience to design age-appropriate activities and assessments that support students in building their cognitive abilities. Additionally, Piaget's theory informs educators on how to provide opportunities for students to actively engage with content, fostering a deeper understanding of concepts.
Drama also boosts the communication skills of students with special needs.
they should use information and put it in their own words, if they copy and paste, the wont learn anything.
Yes, but, copyright law includes a clause for fair use which allows the infringement. One of those cases is for educational purposes. So depending on the amount being copied, it may count as fair use.
