**Development and Review of Copyright Resources**
This site includes the latest information regarding //copyright// laws and regulations. I found it useful by reading the article [|Do you need to send a copy of your online works to the Copyright Office for Deposit] The answer to the question is that the Copyright Office gives “a qualified exemption to a mandatory copyright deposit requirement for online works published in the United States. The exemption does not apply to online works that are also published in physical form.”
 * 1.** Stanford Copyright & Fair Use Center -- Hong Lin

This site provides very to the point information regard what an instructor can and cannot do with copyrighted materials in the classroom. The information given is broken down into categories to help the user narrow their search. Unfortunately there are not many outside links from this site, but the information is valuable and it is a quick read.
 * 2.** [|Education World: The Educator's Guide to Copyright and Fair Use]Brandon Ramirez

Review: [|Education World: The Educator's Guide to Copyright and Fair Use] I agree with Brandon, this site provides clear, to the point information for the reader about Copyright and Fair Use. I read the section on Fair Use of Multimedia presentations and found it really helpful. I find it interesting that technology is advancing faster than the laws about copyright can keep up! This site is helpful because it provides suggesitons for "What's a teacher supposed to do?" Thanks, Brandon! Gretchen Cole-Lade

This is a short video posted on YouTube for the benefit of YouTube users. It is an introduction to copyright laws and gives examples of the use of copyrighted materials. The presentation of the material reminds me of old "Duck and Cover" videos.

4. [|Fair Use-Commonly Asked Questions by Teachers] Gretchen Cole-Lade Easy to read list of commonly asked questions by teachers.

Review: What I think the best thing about this site and sites like it is the fact that it has sifted through the legal documents and jargon for us. Not only has it been broken down for us, it has also been put into layman's terms. The sources are listed for those that want go straight to the documents, which is a good practice to verify anything. Brandon Ramirez

5. [|Free Fair Use Resources for Teachers]Gretchen Cole-Lade As with many other parts of this class, I am so excited that I learned about this website! This site has LOTS of possibilities for free music and other resources, too! Explanations are provided for teachers to udnerstand how to use the resources and comply with the COpyright Law.

**Review:** [|Free Fair Use Resources for Teachers.] Gretchen posted the mega-site of all web sites for IP, copyright, and fair use—all with teaching as the focus. What a great compilation—I can’t imagine the hours of work gathering information on the sites, then all the work of entering the data, and then creating a website for sampling. Thanks to Gretchen for sharing such a comprehensive source. For bringing this information site to our Wiki group, I give Gretchen highest kudos and an excellent review rating.

This site is cross-disciplinary, so it offers something for all of us. It provides us not only with simple-to-understand rules about IP, copyright and fair use, but supplies websites on safe-use music, art, and multi-media materials to build our online courses.

I tried to visit them all briefly and found useful materials as a result. Note the following evaluations: At “Online Writing Resources,” I found a good PowerPoint on passive voice and one for editing and revising reports. “Get Creative-Creative Commons” has a really good video explaining fair use and copyright. Jefferson County Schools has PowerPoint games mimicking popular TV game shows.

“Information Fluency” has a good visual on searching and evaluating web sources. “Copyright Alliance” has an easy-to-understand quiz on copyright issues. Duke Law has a novel site “Public Domain: Bound by Law” that presents complicated info in comic-book form. “Free Sounds” provides free background sounds and sound effects for presentations and videos. “Copyright Friendly” by Wikispaces.com has an extensive list of portals of just about everything related to these topics. You could visit that site alone and find just about everything you need to know.

“Librivox” has free book downloads, “The Copyright Website” is very user friendly and easy to understand. “Copyright Bay” is a treasure map style site for digging up info—very creative. “Acceptable Internet Use Polices Collection“ by the Virginia Dept. of Ed. has extensive online information. These are just a few of the 72 sites listed on Gretchen’s resource entry. Excellent . Gail Chamberlain

6. Types of Intellectual PropertyGail Chamberlain This site presents types of intellectual property in chart form followed by lists of categories and lists of rights. The chart covers copyright, patent, trademark, and trade secret. Having a visual that organizes these categories helps me try to keep all this overwhelming codified information straight in my head.

Review: I agree that the many markings that denote the type of property a product is can be confusing. This simple chart allows people to reference the type of property, laws and how they are applicable to the product in question. When looking through this list I was able to see the difference in many symbols and terms that I have seen my entire life but knew the meaning of only some. Most educators have very little knowledge of copyright law, unlike many other professions. Sites like these allow us an easy way to reference the legality of what we may use in our classes.

[|7a. Intellectual Property: Questions and Answers]Gail Chamberlain Although an older posting, the Q and A is still relevant about intellectual property (IP), as presented by two composition and rhetoric scholars Laura Gurak and Johndan Johnson-Eilola for Computers & Composition.

The posting answers questions: What is IP?, Who owns it?, Where should it begin on the web?, How should we teach differently about plagiarism and IP?, while questioning students’ views on both.

That Kairos posting lead me to references about the need to teach students IP and fair use, along with revised extended views on what plagiarism means with online sources. While I teach one lecture on ethics that includes IP and copyright very briefly and superficially, a large body of recent (and not so recent) works stresses that all writing teachers have the obligation to add these topics to our curriculum. I found this all very thought provoking.

7b. One of the sources I found through Kairos is: [|The fair use doctrine// - //Michigan// State University]Gail Chamberlain Article: //The fair use doctrine: History, application, and implications// //for (new media) writing teachers by //<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif';">Martine Courant Rife

While writing teachers have always dealt with plagiarism, internet technology complicates how we should teach these issues. The author in this 25 page article uses points of law and the fair use Four-factor test to stress the need to teach IP, fair use, and changing definitions of plagiarism (related to online/web sources) in the classroom.
