School Library Media Coordinators

1. Prior to the webinar, I went to a workshop on copyright in Michigan years ago.  I teach students digital citizenship, and how to find copyright free images for projects.  

2. I never thought about my original work being copyrighted, so anyone with whom I shared my resources used it. 

3. One change in my thought process is to look more closely at the resouces I use to ensure that I am using them correctly even though they are under a creative commons license.  I need to look at each component of the license.  Even looking at resouces within GoOpenNC, many of them state "read the fine print" under conditions of use.  

1) Most of my experience with copyright and intellectual property came from my exposure in my grad school program for library science.  Prior to that I didn't give too much thought to copyright.  I knew I shouldn't copy enitre works, etc, but I frequently just made the assumption that I was covered under fair use.  This is not the case though. 

2) Things of my own that I wanted copyrighted, I put a note at the bottom and listed them as paid resources on TPT. 

3) I like the idea of open education resources for all educators to remix and use. 

I was the same when teaching. I never copied entire works but I had shown almost an entire movie not knowing that I was violating copyright. Once I started graduate school then I learned more about copyright. My district never really focused on coying materials just not showing movies to students. 

1.  My previous experience with copyright was to share copyright rules with the staff at the beginning of each year.  I also talk to the students about it in grades 2-5, going more in-depth with the older students by teaching them to cite their sources.  

2.  I have never really thought about the things I create.  I usually just share them freely with my staff or anyone that asks.  

3.  I will be more aware of adding rights to items I create while also making the students more aware.  I think if I begin to do this, people will take notice and then it can lead to conversations about intellectual property.  While looking at the blog, I noticed that Creative Commons has updated their search bar.  I shared that with my staff this week.

Ironically enough, this issue came up with a lesson I was doing with my 5th graders wanting to insert a copy of a book cover and they couldn't find it when searching Google through Google sites.  I then explained to them why that is.  This class was perfect timing!  

1) I'm sure this is true with most everyone in this hub, but copyright, intellectual property, and fair use was covered in my grad school program (MLIS). I  also took a copyright course on Coursera that was amazing and much more practical. 

2) I put CC on some of my items (like my blog), but not on all (like shared google items), but my (previous) thoughts were that people could copy and use with mods. However, without explicitly saying so, I've been leaving people to wonder if they can use my work, OR leaving them with the assumption they can just take it and claim it as their own. 

3) After the curriculum review academy, I started adding CC  with atribution to everything. I'd used the CC site before to generate the info for my blog - It's taken a while to get in the habit of adding it to everything. This is more of a change in action than a change in thought, but I started going back through the things I've shared and adding CC, so the people who run across it know how they can use it. 

1. Last year I took a mini course through UNC/Duke about copyright and it was very interesting and relevant. I learned about these copyright symbols and how the whole process developed. I also learned about who owns what and that it depends on who you were working for at the time of creation, the use and purpose of your work, etc.

2. I always allow everyone to use anything I make.

3. I still feel that way and I don't want to charge money or have any sort of restrictions on how people can use my work. I understand that people from NY Times (this relates to the resource I looked at) should be financially supported so they can continue their work. 

1 - In years past, I have attended copyright professional development for librarians, however, I feel like many things have changed since these past workshops.  I would always share the information with my staff after meetings.

2 - Before the webinar, I never gave thought to use my ideas/projects, etc.   I would just share with others as needed.

3 - Honestly, I will probably just continue to freely share with others when they need materials.   It will, however, make me more aware of copyright laws/rules especially in regard to use of pictures and material in our yearbook.   

1. My district recently started looking at copyright a lot after one of our schools was forced to pay for the use of an image that they did not have permission to use. The image was a small graphic clip that I'm sure the user thought was unimportant. However, it became important once their school was contacted and asked to pay a large sum of money for breaking copyright. Since then, we have been trained frequently on copyright and asked to share with our staff. 

2. I have not shared much of my own work except with coworkers so I have never really thought of this before.

3. I will probably continue to freely share my own work. However, I do caution staff about what they use with students and put on their websites more often. I could certainly use the copyright game from the webinar to help staff understand how work is licensed. 

1.  I have and a few pieces of training on copyright and intellectual property in the years and have received many posters on copyright laws to share with our staff but I few that not much focus was spent on understanding it. 

2.  I share my intellectual property opening through google docs but have found it frustrating when I see my work copied and my name removed or no credit given.   I have found many of the lessons I spent hours creating have to be used and shared by others who have their own creations. 

3. Wow!   I now am going to make the adjustment to the items share because this will ease some of my frustration.  I know the correct terms and symbols to protect my work.  

1. I have taught classes on different levels from elementary through high school students on plagiarism and copyright materials. I have shown students how-to create footnotes and cite their sources using citation tools. Also, I have shown students how to search using database in NCWiseOWl and in Google for copyright friendly images for their projects.  I enjoyed the way the information was given during the webinar. I have also share copyright resources during professional development sessions for teachers across the district. 

2. Normally, whatever I share with others, they are welcome to use it.  I may share materials in a format that is not easily manipulated. Rarely, I ask that others can use my information as long as they give me credit. 

3. I like to use a program similar to KaHoot to informally assess students knowledge of the copyright labels from this platform.

1. Copyright compliance has been important since I started in Library Media in 1993. In those days it was about how we used the copier, but as the World Wide Web took off, it became a quagmire of fuzzy areas. I've been fortunate to work in school districts that prioritized copyright training so that media specialists collaborated on ways to preach the message to faculty.

2. For the most part, I've just freely shared what I create with my colleagues along with a message to copy or alter it according to their needs. Being familiar with CC will make that easier. Funny story, though: When I was doing my student teaching we were given a demonstration CD of an encyclopedia. I created a "quick guide" for the students to use. The salesman came back around to see how we were doing with it and my supervising teacher gave him a copy of the quick guide. A few weeks later, at NCSLA (Predecessor to NCSLMA) a different rep from the company was handing out copies of my quick guide at their booth! I didn't really mind, but it would have been nice to have attribution. It was strange to have my own work handed back to me as a "freebie."

3. I have been contemplating signing up for Teachers Pay Teachers and selling some of the games and materials I create. I do put a lot of personal time and effort into creating engaging activities for my students. However, I'm going to do that anyway--why not save someone else the trouble, especially if they can share their materials with me and we both benefit. I'm excited about having a platform to make that happen state-wide.

1. Over the years I have attended sessions on copyright, taught it to our staff and students, and been the go-to person in our school.  It's always been a rather confusing topic to those who don't spend much time thinking about it--me included!  Although I was familiar with Creative Commons, I didn't consider it much other than directing students to images in cc for their projects.

2. I never really did anything official with my work other than putting my name on some of the work that I shared.  Things I used with my classes were just unidentified.  If I used someone else's material, I always tried to give attribution as an example to students and teachers.  

3. After viewing the video, I feel much stronger about identifying my work and paying more attention to how I use the materials of others.  I think we've all become a little casual about how we use what we find on the Internet because it's so easy to copy and edit now.  Back when we had to actually place print items on the copy machine, you knew you were violating copyright.  Being able to have ownership of your work makes it more desirable to share freely with others.  I really like knowing all the cc symbols and how to use them.  The webinar helped to break the information down to really clear explanations that will be easier to share with my staff.

1.  I knew bits and pieces of copyright and had a small understanding of intellectual property and how it worked prior to the 1st webinar.

2.  I was okay if anybody wanted to use my intellectual property because in the education business, we should be sharing with each other and I have always gotten good ideas from other people's intellectual property.

3.  My thought process has changedin terms of being more consciouness of what I use and see if I can use them and with the webinar, looking at the fine print to make sure I have read all terms and conditions.  I read the NY Times Lesson Plans and this is something that I will use going forward.  Because I try to stress to my kids research is not just going to Google.

1) My previous experience was many researching and working with copyright for the teachers. After returning to the Media Center,   I am treating it as a new experience with a lot of research and reading.

2) I always share with others.  I feel that while we do deserve the credit for a lesson, I struggle with the payment side of it.  Though I do feel that all artists should be paid for their craft.  I do have a lot of ideas and items that I create, and am looking att the format I would like to use now.  

3) My thought process pertaining to my work has changed in the sense that I will cc my work from here on out. I will make sure to explain the format and giving credit. I will also be more careful on pieces that I offer to teachers.  
I was reading that if you wanted to obtain a copyright, it must be original, but that the amount of originality can be quite small.  This surprised me, as well as makes sense in the educational realm. This also changed my perspective about the cc with each item I create.

1) I became very familiar with citing my sources while I was in undergrad because as part of the Honors program I had to write a thesis. During that process, I had to create and carry out my own theory of mind test. That was one of the most challenging, yet rewarding experiences of my life. I also was introduced to Creative Commons as part of my MLIS. I teach students to respect the work of others and give them proper credit.

2) I have never really considered anything I created as being copyrighted and have often freely shared it. 

3) The Webinar and being part of this platform made me realize that I can still freely share content or resources I've created, but also have a way to get the credit. I have never really come across a Creative Commons resource with a no derivative works license, so I didn't realize how limiting that could actually be. This makes me realize that I need to pay better attention to what the license actually allows or doesn't allow. I also need to teach my students those different licenses, associated images, and what they mean.

I'm always looking for ways to make citations easier for students to use and understand. I found a great resource on the platform that showed me how I can teach students to use the built in citation tool inside of Google Docs! Too bad I didn't know about that sooner!

1. Prior to the webinar, my only experience was what our previous Media Specialist had told us regarding copyright issues, etc. That, unfortunately, wasn't a whole lot.

2. I have never put a whole lot of thought into the things that I create. I am fine with others using them, but never thought about how to best allow use for those materials. 

3. I think I have a lot to learn regarding copyright and usage of materials. However, this webinar and the resources we are finding/will be using are great launching points for how to integrate this conversation into the teaching we do with students as well as PD for teachers. I think teachers kind of shove copyright info. to the side and don't think about it often due to all the other things they have to think about. Not saying it's right, but I know that's what often happens. And yes...I've seen many just cross out the "do not copy..." language written at the bottom of text. This webinar/Go Hub resources will be great tools to use when trying to educate myself and others.

1. I've thought a lot about copyright over the course of my librarian training, but I still feel like I'm not 100% comfortable knowing how to follow the rules correctly. There are times I see teachers in my school making copies of copyrighted material and it can be awkward to tactfully guide them to following copyright guidelines. It's also difficult to know when something is fair use for educational purposes or not.

2. I've never officically labeled my intellectual property in terms of lessons or materials I create for my work. I often share lessons with fellow librarians and teachers in my district, but I haven't really posted materials online for a wider audience or sold them on a site like Teachers Pay Teachers.

3. My thought process has changed in that I need to be more mindful of the tools available to me. I've taught the concept of Creative Commons to my students before and it's a really vauable tool. One of the most frustrating things about finding materials to use online is knowing what I'm allowed to do with it or not, and CC gives concrete guidelines to teachers who share and teachers who use others' material. The system only works if everyone uses it!

1. The creative commons symbols were fairly new to me. I attended a district workshop where it was covered briefly, but that was it. I definitely have a lot to learn.

2. I freely share anything I have with colleagues and haven't really considered copyrighting it, until now.

3. I've discovered that I need to inform myself on the copyright laws and creative commons so that I can better help my staff and students. I plan to share the creative commons symbols on my work from now on, but don't feel like I need to charge anything. Also, I hope to share information from the webinar with colleagues  (i.e. the powerpoint game).

1.  I talk to students about citing sources, especially images, no matter where they find them online. I have also used videos about copyright in digital citizenship courses that my students omplete.

2.  I am happy to share anything that I make.

3. I should be more digilent about checking the license of resources, especially using clip art. I should do more to educate my staff about Copyright and the ways they use things they find, especially when they link or post resources to their websites and in their presentations. 

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? I have instructed teachers and students in copyright and intellectual property for over 20 years.  I have created many different PD opportunities to help teachers and students understand the why and how in several different platforms.

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? I freely share anything that I create for others to use however they feel it works best for them.

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.  The only change I guess I would make is actually placing the copyright symbol on my work so that others know how they can use it.  I think I would like those that use to give me credit but I have shared so much in the past that people have just used, I guess that hasn't mattered to me before.  The resource I shared was about the variations of copyright and CC which can always be reviewed, but is very relevent to the work teahers will do in OER.

My previous experience with copyright has been teaching my students and staff about how to not break the law ;-). I used to use the Copyright/Copywrong video from DPI - remember that one?

I have more information to share now.

Sandra

1. As a Media Specialist, I train staff on copyright and seek to make sure our school (students and staff) are adhering to copyright laws as much as possible. I am also involved in a nonprofit that screens films and I help ascertain that we are conforming to copyright regulations.
2. I have never had an experience where someone requested use of something I've created. 
3. I found the coding system as presented in the webinar a bit cumbersome upon first glance.  I am hoping that through further study, it will become more intrenched in my system of thinking.

1) I have received instruction through my courses while obtaining my MLS. Prior to that, it was information from before computers were integrated as much as they are now.

2) Never considered someone using my items.  I have not created much, yet. 

3)  I will make sure that I use the CC labels to protect what I create.  I need to make sure I understand all the labels so I can inform the staff at my school in regard to what they make and use.

1.) My previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar was average. One, I have attended class at the state NCSLMA conference on the issue to gain more understanding. Two, I have taught fifth graders in the media center about citing sources, providing credit for ideas. Finally, I have discussed with teachers and administration the licensing needs and publishing and copying consequences and procedures.

2.) I have never published anything I felt required perission to use as my own intellectual property. However, our county has now made it a policy that anything created at work, during school hours, and/or with school equipment (laptops) will become be owned by the county. This has made me re-think creating things at work.

3.) I would like more specific ways to provide brief professional development on the most applicable parts of copyright to share with staff and students so that they can remember them.  The flipgrid resources I looked at and shared for viewing, for example, could be easily created and shared by some of our staff but I want to make sure they have covered all their bases with sharing appropriately.  The creative commons mentioned in the webinar is rarely understood or mentioned by classroom teachers.  Many teachers also use TPT and need to be sure they are using it legally.

(1) I have taught Copyright and intellectual property concepts to K-5 students using the Common Sense Media digital citizenship rsources as well as the videos at Common Craft on Copyright and Plagiarism. As part of our schoolwide research method website, I share lessons with teachers about where to find creative-commons licensed images, music, and videos for use in student projects.

(2) I haven't shared enough lessons to think about it. When I've shared lessons with other librarians in my district, or with teachers, I haven't licensed them at all.

(3) I was already a proponent of creative commons licensing and believe that creative-commons licensed materials are the best choices for students doing research projects. I have encountered many materials on sites like Teachers Pay Teachers that violate copyright, and I welcome iniatives that protect teachers/districts from lawsuits while also allowing teachers quickly to share and adapt materials for their students. That having been said, teachers are already poorly compensated for their labor. I think the state needs to do more to explain why teachers shouldn't continue to sell the teaching materials they create on the marketplace, especially when so much teacher labor happens on their own time. I looked at the Digital Citizenship lesson and it must be noted that the original creators of those materials worked for Common Sense Media, they were paid for their time, and after they were paid, their product was released with a Creative Commons license.

1.  Like most in this group, I had a pretty good grasp on copyright and Creative Commons from when I got my MLIS degree.  I also have continued to investigate and curate resources related to them for my teachers.

2.  I have not been very consistent with this.  I guess I've always thought if it was something minor that I put together, it was not a big enough deal to put any licensing on it.  There was one big item I created several years ago and I put a CC license on it because I wanted people to know they could use it.  Some of my teachers asked me about it, but that was about it.

3.  I guess I need to become more consistent with putting CC licensing on things I create and put out there.  I don't really share much outside of my immediate district, so I haven't really thought about it that much.  One of the things that I saw in the webinar indicated putting references (citations?) on every little thing on a slide.  I'm not sure how I feel about that.  It seems a little excessive and unecessary.  Also, in the past, even though I knew about CC licensing, I was never sure exactly how to do it -- both when producing materials and when directing students to cite CC items in research.  I hope some of the work we do here helps clarify that.

1. Copyright is something that I am aware of but can always use more knowledge, especially to share with students and staff at my school. I want to be able to share in a positive way, not just be the "copyright police."

2. I have not really thought about my own property - if I share it with someone they are welcome to use or share it as they wish. However, I haven't always clearly spelled that out.

3. My thought process has changed in that I need to do better myself so that I can help and encourage students and staff at school. I also did not realize how many options there were for CC license.

1. My early work experiences with copyright were based upon word-of-mouth from other teachers and consisted of "You can copy "x" number of pages" and "Just make sure you cite your source." Several years ago, I began working summers as an NCpedia digital assistant, and it was there that I got my first real instruction about copyright and fair use. Additionally, this year our media coordinator cohort has been trained in copyright/fair use laws as we are now responsible for training our staff in the Durham Public Schools. 

2. While working with NCpedia at the State Library of North Carolina, there is an understanding that the information contained within is available for reuse unless noted as copyrighted. However, as a matter of clarity, on the rare occassions when I created an article from my own research, I used the CC terminology to note that it could be copied as long as it was not for profit and that I received attribution.

3. My thought process hasn't changed so much as the pieces have come together. The idea of making my own material freely available is a grain of sand, but if many people are invested in doing the same, we have a beach. Today I caught the last bit of a 2015 NPR Ted broadcast about two guys who knew little to nothing about building a remote operated underwater robot that would dive deep and pick up any pieces of gold that it found in a water-filled cavern of an abandoned mine. They were able to create their gadget from the free intellectual contributions of others. They were successful in building their robot for under $1,000, which was a fraction of the retail cost. They did not find gold, but they did create a start-up business where they made kits for these robots and sold them, AND, more importantly, they open-sourced their plans for others to make their own kits so that others could benefit from the free intellectual contributions just as they had. 

PS - There is a link in #3 after "2015," but for some reason it isn't highlighted.

1.  Prior to the webinar, I instructed staff and students (especially around times projects were being constructed) on copyright rules and guidelines.  I have attended different pd opportunities over th eyears that dealt with copyright usually in relationship with images or videos.

2.  I previously allowed my property to be used as needed .  

3.  One of the things I am most concerned with now is making sure staff members know what all the copyright symbols mean.  I am now aware that I should place these on my work, as well.  I hate not knowing if I am allowed to use the work or not and should make it easier for all.  

1. Beyond the class in grad school, my experiece with copyright and intellectual property has been information shared at workshops and via e-mail threads, and learning about Creative Commons in Canvas.

2. I haven't put anything in a public domain that I would consider the type of original intellectual property subject to any type of copyright issues. However, photos posted to social media platforms would probably fall under the umbrella of intellectual property and I haven't protected that content at all.

3. I need to share information with staff and students more actively, not just about appropriate use of materials, but about making decisions regarding content that they create themselves.

1) Besides formal coursework, I've attended several sessions on copyright at NCSLMA and through NCDPI trainings. I also read the book "Copyright Clarity: How fair use supports digital learning" by Renee Hobbs in preparation for a copyright PD I delivered for our staff last spring. I was familiar with CC licenses and have shared them with students and staff.

2) I hadn't previously given much thought to sharing my own intellectual property. I hadn't really considered how much I was putting out there without that clarification attached. 

3) I've tried to model & teach responsible use of resources via attribution, but need to do more on the content creation end as well. I've talked with one of our art teachers about doing a lesson with her kids about licensing their own work and this has motivated me to pick that ball back up. 

1.  Because I am a high school media specialist, I spend a great deal of time working with teachers and students to encourage ethical use of copy-written materials, and to make sure that sources of information are credited correctly when used.  I have had to discuss fair use often with teachers when they desire to use videos, music, and textbook photocopies during instruction.

2.  The only intellectual property that I have copy-written is a website.  I often share documents via Goggle Docs that I don’t mind being shared, but I don’t want to be altered.  I did not realize that I could assign a creative commons license to those documents to prevent them from being altered.

3.  My thought process hasn’t changed much.  I have always been one to want to give credit where it is due, and I encourage students and other educators to do the same.  It will be easier to support and enforce my ideas about copyright with the knowledge gained about Creative Commons from the webinar, and the resources available via #GoOpenNC.  I will be better equipped to share my knowledge of copyright with students and other educators.

1- I have taken courses and a few workshops on copyright and intellectual property, and I know enough basic information to answer staff questions. I do feel I need to refresh myself on some of it especially with ways in which online content is used.

2-I have always been wary about sharing my work. I don't sell on TPT or any other site, and even when sharing with colleagues I make sure my name is clearly on the material. G-suite items make that a little trickier since copies can be made without your knowledge. There have been times I have shared something in G-suite and then later changed the sharing rights. What can I say, I am a pessimist.

3-I definitely need to start using CC symbols on every single thing I make available, and want to make sure our staff has a better understanding of copyright and IP. The game from the webinar would be great to use at a PLC meeting. I am still thinking about the best ways to incorporate this with the students.

1.  I have a very basic understand of copyright from my graduate studies.  I have taught teachers and students the very basic "rules" of copyright but I know that I have much more to learn.  

2.  I've always been happy to share anything that I create with anyone as long as they are using to help our students and not to make money.  

3.  I am going to be much more aware of giving attribution my sources in everything that I create for my personal use.  I teach students to do that but then I don't always do it!  It will set a great example for the teachers in my school as well.  

1. As the media coordinator for my school I do a presentation for my faculty at the beginning of each school year. We discuss fair use, how different media can be used in the classroome etc. I also discuss it with students when classes come to the media center for research and other projects

2. I have never truly thought about it. I usually just tell anyone they can use it and I share it with people that I think it may benefit.

3. A change in my thought process is the different levels of copyright/use in creative commons. I need to educate myself and my staff better on how to look at each part/component of the license. Read the fine print.

My previous experience with copyright and intellectual property comes from running social media sites and teaching digital citizenship lessons with students, teachers, pre-service teachers, and college students. I prefer to make my own intellectual property as open-access and re-mixable as possible. The webinar definitely made me think about teachers pay teacher in particular and how creative commons licensing is such a contrasting model to TPT. I've always been wary of TPT for various reasons, but this has given me some talking points when discussing these materials with other teachers.

1.  Prior to the webinar I feel I knew the basics to copyright in terms of what I would teach my students at the start of the year in regards to digital citizenship.

2.  To be honest, I don't know that I really thought about the original pieces of information being copyrighted.  I had many people that would share information with me and say do with it what I wanted or I would share information out and not think anything of it.

3.  I will definitely be paying much closer attention to where the material originated from and the copyrights that are attached to it.  Credit will always be given to those that did the original work even when I have taken my creative remix to it.

1) My previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar was basic.  I know the basic laws of copyright and intellectual property but not enough to instruct others with confidence.  I am aware of the major laws but not the technicalities. 

2) Previously I only allowed others that I trusted to use my intellectual property.  I always put in the footnote who it was created by and when.  

3) My thought process has changed now after the webinar.  Now I understand the various types of licenses and how the material should be used.  Being aware of these different licenses will help me to properly used resources.  When looking at the resource I picked, I liked that when you clicked on the type of license it was it sent you to a creative commons site that simplified what you can and can not do with the resource.  

1) In addition to the classes I had to take for my MLS which both covered and incorporated copyright and fair use, I have taken an online 1.0 CEU course on Copyright in the Classroom. It was available in our NCEES PD section and was really good. 

2) I have freely shared my original lesson plans with other librarians. 

3) I am fine still freely sharing my lesson plans, but will start adding CC with attribution to them. I also loved the slide with the Free, but not Open resources. That's definitely something to consider when we use things that we find online. 

1. As a librarian it is our job to help teachers with knowing copyright laws and fair use. I teach my students to cite resources and create resources pages both for information and pictures in their electronic and paper presentations. I have reminded teachers in the past to make sure that they have had kids to provide this list of sources also.

2. I am all about sharing materials. I don't like Teachers pay Teachers because I believe that as Educators we should share our materials. I have shared my lesson plans, lesson materials, and ideas with other librarians through NCSLMA, nErDcampNC and nErDcampMI.

3. One thing that I didn't know that changed my thought process was all the different labels that a resource can have that limit their use. I pride myself in my knowledge of what falls under the Fair Use umbrella but I didn't know that there were so many catagories that each resource falls under. 

1) My previous experience with copyright and intellectual property was in grad school (MLIS) and from my department within our school district years ago.

2) I have openly shared my intellectual property via google drive.

3) I realized that I need to think about how I share my information and make certain that I am identifying how other may use my work.  I don't really want money but I would like credit.  I also need to look at how I am sharing and using the work of others.  It is so important to respect intellectual property and license that the author gives the user.

1. Like most everyone else, copyright was covered in my grad classes. I have also taken several online courses to update knowledge since then. 

2. I have done several things in the past, but nothing "official". I used to always include my name in the footer of documents I created and shared while I was in the classroom. Having moved into the media center, so much of what I create is specifically for sharing that I guess I never gave it a second thought. 

3. I will add a statement in the future to make it more clear what I wish to share. I can see where this may increase use since folks are not left wondering. 

Copyright and intellectual property was included in my coursework for my MLS.

Honestly, I never really thought about my own intellectual property until when I was a classroom teacher. When I started working on my MLS in 2014, I started to reconsider things. I have been getting better about using CC but I admit I do not remember all the time. 

I have attend copyright and intellectual property sessions/PD prior to the webinar.  I have also developed PD for teachers and students.

I have always allowed anyone to use and remix my work.

I think that teachers and students don't often think about copyright or intellectual property when they are creating while using online resouces.  I think educating everyone and leading by example/modeling best practices in and out of the clasroom would benefit all.

As a school librarian, I have had considerable experience with the copyright and intellectual property laws and provided support and training for my teachers and my students as necessary.  Most of these discussions were informal and one-on-one advice regarding the use of copyrighted materials, creative common resources such as using clip art from Google, video/movie licensing and use for instructional purposes.  Generally, these discussion were based on the ethical use of intellectual property materials and to bring a general awareness to my students and teachers. As others have mentioned, going into #GoOpenNC, this will be first time I will have to make a decision on how the materials I create on the hub could be used by others.

1. I was trained when I first became a media specialist within my district.  Professional materials were purchased for media specialists and we had meetings to discuss what the books said.  Since then it has been up to me to stay on top of copyright trends.

2.  I do not share too much intellectual property to be concerned with how it is used.

3. I have given trainings on copyright in which I had to tell teachers about how their intellectual property belongs to the district and that they cannot sell anything on TPT unless they created it without any district help.  It did not go over well.

This is an interesting concept for me to consider. I'm not sure what, if any, policy my district has concerning teachers creating and sharing. We do have a mix of staff who are happy to share freely and then some who are not really willing to share even with team teachers and resource teachers. We also have several who buy and sell on TPT. The digital world is for sure an interesting frontier. 

I have had course work for MLS and MIT on copyright. I've always known about it, but when thinking through what I've used, I may not have been aware of my printing and such 100% of the time. 

I've always allowed people to use my work. I've never copyrighted anything. I create it and share it!

I've taught it to my students as a part of digital citizenship each year, but I've overlooked it with my staff. Assuming gets you in so much trouble. I've made a point to start with some PD this year on copyright.

Since I am a SLMC, copyright is kind of my thing!  However, it has been my experience that I am one of the only people in my school that is very concerned with it.  I like that this resource will allow teachers to find vetted resources that they have permission to use, modify, and share.  

I have always shared any resources that I create freely.  Some of my most time-consuming work has been shared at the district level, and I am happy to allow that.

The only thing that I can say I might change with regard to copyright is including the creative commons designations to make it clear that my work is free to use.

My previous experience is knowing that information resources need to be cited when used and when items are purchased for educational purpose that still doesn't allow you to freely copy and distribute unlimited copies.  I feel like the rules, so to speak, have become even more complicated with the amount of information easily available on the internet and social media sites.  

I have never really specified any guidelines to any of my own intellectual property. 

I will be more diligent about reminding students to be aware of and follow the copytight guidelines. Common Sense Media has several resources that are early elementary friendly. 

1. Previous Experience is discussing with new staff members copyright and I play a game with the sudents "Pirate Plagarism" before research papers.

2. Intellectual Property - my school has been fined due to staff members using music/videos w/o permission.

3.After the webinar, I need to create a PD for staff each each to remind us all how to use copyright correctly.

1. Prior to the webinar I had periodic trainings through my district on copyright and intellectual property, especially related to student digital citizenship lessons and curriculum.  I also did a yearly overview presentation with staff on copyright prior to the start of school.

2. I honestly never thought about it--I always shared anything I created without conditions.

3. The commons symbols were not something I had learned before, so I will definitely be paying more attention to that from now on.

I have had quite a bit of exposure to the copyright conversation.  We have been discussing this since Creative Commons became a viable option. I have never restricted use of my intellectual property except for pictures - I then used a watermark. I love the graphics in the presentation to promote this use with staff and students.

Prior to the webinar, I learned about basic laws related to intellectual property in order to teach and guide my students and teachers.  I never really thought much about my own intellectual property.  As a former classroom teacher, I have always shared my resources freely.  Most teachers are usually willing to share.  Now that teachers sell their created resoures on sites such as Teachers Pay Teachers, a new concern is ensuring everyone is respecting the rights of the owner of a work.  Working aorund high schoolers, I see copyright law broken every day.  Many times it is minor - printing off Google images without giving credit - but I see that many do not understand the need to value coyright.  Looking at the resource "21 Things 4 Students", there are simple steps to guide students and teachers to understand copyright law.

I teach copyright to students and share presentations with teachers about copyright and intellectual property. At the elem. level this use to be a needed topic, but with the advance of more sharing of resources in these later years, I am not called upon as much by teachers wanting to know about the topic for themselves. I do however still teach students about the importance of both.

As far as me allowing the use of my intellectual property, when I have been asked if resources I have placed on the web or created, my only stipulation has been that credit be given to me for the original idea. I have no problems sharing.

My thought process has not changed that much, because I have always liked the idea of resource sharing.

Prior to the webinar I had been in copyright training in my district. I've also given copyright presentations to the staff at my school. I have never really thought about use of "my intellectual property." I always allow free use. I would still allow free use of my work. I am in this profession to help others and I love collaborating and sharing resources. The webinar just reinforced the fact that I need to train my new teachers in copyright and continue to be mindful of how I am using other's intellectual property. It made me excited to be able to use OER.
