Tools 4 NC Teachers

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? 

I knew very little about the legality of using and sharing intellectual property.  I knew it was illegal to make copies of books and distribute them, but that's about it.  Oh, I also knew that TPT sellers do not allow teachers to share purchased materials with others; each teacher should purchase their own copy.  

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? 

I have shared lesson plans and materials I've created with my coworkers on google drive.  I share freely and allow them to do what they wish with things I created, so they can make it fit their needs.  

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.

From the webinar I learned that creators have several different ways they can share thier resources.  Each label means that the item is allowed to be utilized in different ways.  I now know to look for things like SA or ND and know what they mean.  (I'm not sure what the "extra resource" is, so I can't comment on how it changes my thinking.)

1.  I did an online professional development self paced class entitled: Copywright in the k12 classroom.  I knew very little about copyright and intellectual property.

2.  With my peers and colleagues I allow other teachers to freely use my intellectual property as needed as we have an open policy about sharing ideas and lessons.

3.  When I was a health teacher my thought processes were different simply because of the nature of what I taught and the setting in which I taught it.  Physical education is a different type of teaching in terms of resources.  My thought process has changed in a sense that I make sure when using resources that I properly use the copyright laws. The webinar was very helpful in terms of the guiding definition example of open educational resources and is great in terms of a rubrix or checklist.  The resource that I looked at was beneficial because I can reference it when speaking to parents and students about the implication of girls playing sports.

My previous knowledge was limited.  I know about it through uses suchs as Time magazine, TPT, Iready materials etc. 

Anything I create personally, I believe in full colloboration and sharing.  I think that teachers need to allow remix of the materials to help meet the needs of the those individuals/classroom needs. 

My thought process in regards to colloboration hasn't changed-it just reinforced I spend a lot of time on a team where not all people believe in this philosophy.  It truly contributes to tension on the grade level.  My thoughts on resources I looked at just helped me to see the other options that are specifically designed to my teacher. I am excited to see that develop even deeper. 

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? 

I had probably the most basic on copyright knowledge before learning about OER. I was always told in high school and college to "cite your sources." If I didn't create it out of my own mind then I needed to cite where it came from. 

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? 

I haven't allowed any use of my own intellectual property because I didn't know how to share my work. I have shared my work with coworkers by just printing my work and handing it to the teacher using it.

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.

I attended the GoOpen training last school year so the webinar wasn't really anything new to me. I'm just glad to be connected with other like-minded educators.

1. I have no previous experience with copyright and intellectual property.

2. I would share any of my intellectual property freely with coworkers and did not mind them making it their own.

3. I now know that anything I create can be copyrighted and that I have several choices in how I do that, but I still would be willing to allow for remix or revamp of my property depending on the material. I also have a better insight to why and how I should use copyrighted material within the school setting and what codes to look for when doing so.

1. I was aware that it was unethical to copy material from literature with copyrights.  While using TPT material I understood that I should not share this with my colleagues.

2. I have always freely shared my material with my colleagues.  

3. The webinar informed me of the different ways that materials can be shared with others.  It's refreshing to know that you can share with colleagues, allow them to remix your material, and receive or give attribution for used material.

_{1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar?} 

_{I did not have a lot of prior experience with copyright before learning through Go Open NC.  I was a part of the Curriculum review academy part # last month, so I received another dose of this information in the first webinar.  It was helpful to hear the information again because I could moreso focus on the application of the knowledge than just trying to absorb the definitions themselves.}

_{2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property?} 

_{In the past, I have created resources and simply shared them with my colleagues.  I have never considered branching out beyond my own PLC to allow others in the district and state to use my resources... but it makes sense!  I would also love to see what others are creating and using that might be beneficial to me.}  

_{3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.}

_{I am much more open to sharing resources with others and using resources that others created.  I like the fact that remixing and changing resources is an option as long as the copyright allows.  This will allow me to meet the indivdual needs of my students.  Every class I've taught is unique based on levels and needs, so remixing is a feature I really look forward to using on the platform.}

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? 

My previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar was very little.  I have learned a few things from our former media specialist who is now our reading interventionist about copyright.  Mainly that we cannot show a movie for a Parent Night Out without a special performance license or we risk a $25,000 fine.  I have cited the source for pasages I have used when creating assessments more out of a need to give recognition than a true knowledge of how to properly do so.  I had no idea what the codes meant.

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? 

I have created tons of reources for my teachers both on my own and with the partnership with my principal.  We put all of our work on the Google Drive and share it openly with our teachers.  I have shared with others outside of our school at workshops and trainings, but we kind of assume what we have is being used by our teachers.

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.

I have changed my thought process in that I now know I need to look for how materials are intended to be used.  I can check for codes (ie: SA, ND, etc) to know how I should or can use a resource.  I had no idea I could copyright what I create.  I am looking forward to digging into the website...it was down when I had time to look yesterday (I got a 504 error message).  I was able to find one resource Wednesday night that looked interesting, but I wouldn't really be able to use it in my role.  

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? When I was a student at UNC Charlotte we were taught how to look for and understand some copyright law so we would not be accused of stealing work that belonged to someone else. This was very important especially since many of the resourses you use in college are students teacher created. 

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? I allow my second grade team and my coworkers to use my created resources. 

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at. This webinar made me see that I need to share my resources but also made me understand how I can get credit for them. I never really thought about getting credit for the work I shared with my team but I am thinking this is something that needs to happen. 

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? 

In all honesty, I have very little experience with copyright and intellectual property at all.  I have become familiar with TPT sharing policy and recall information from writing courses that require siting information, etc.

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? 

I have never post4ed any intellectual information anywhere publicly to share.  I have always been willing to freely share any of my created teaching materials with colleagues and have no issue with them making any necessary modifications to fit their teaching style or needs.  

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.

I realize how critically important it has become to be very specific in what you wish to occur with share resources as an educator.  The webinar discussed the need to allow teachers to modify the information as needed.  I am not sure that I would have previously considered what each type of label would mean to the author or the users.  

I know what you mean about TPT sharing policy.  I guess I knew more about the sharing of other's things than the sharing of my own.

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? 

I had no previous experience.

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? 

I have collaborated with other teacher for my content and grade levels. We often shared lesson plans as well as resources we used for teaching.

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.

I  now know that certain educational items I create can be copyrighted. I have also gained a new resource with #GoOpenNC that will help to supplement curriculum that has already been implemented by the school district I work for. It is also something that I can share with the teachers I support in different content areas as well as grade levels.

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property before the webinar? Prior to my experience with GoOpen, I have taught myself about copyright and intellectual property for a PD on digital citizenship a few years ago. I  have learned a lot from doing the research, but  I have learned even more with GoOpen. Since the summer, when I was apart of the curriculum review team, I look for the creative commons license and give attribution to my resources. I am not afraid to say I did not make this, and this is where I got it from, look you can too, and here is why! 

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? I did not necessarily provide intellectual property with the resources I created. I always allowed anyone to use the resources I made, but people never asked; they just always used it. Now I know the proper channels to make specific creative commons licenses. 

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at. Since I have already attended two other trainings on the same topic, but my thought process was blown the first webinar I attended. Not only is everything free to use in your classroom for educational use, but different resources may have different limitations. For example, you may use the resource, but not make any changes to their work. I recently found out I did something I wasn't supposed to, by changing the work that had a creative commons license, but stated you could only use the resource as it was on the website. 

1 - I took a short online course through Common Sense Educators last summer ('18). I cannot believe how much I forgot and did not understand as the webinar was running through. She was very clear, but I still had to think a moment while all the others were zooming through! 

2 - I have always shared my materials with my colleagues. Every once in awhile I will send ideas to Mailbox Magazine for a few extra dollars. I have looked at TPT but never bought or sold anything.  I don't have extra money to spend on something I can make or find somewhere else for free. (Some of the ideas are useful, follow the standards, and are rigourous. Like anything you find online, you have to evaluate it carefully. I just prefer not to spend the money on it. But I understand that teachers work hard and if people are willing to pay for a product, then more power to you for making the best of a situation.) 

3-There is entirely too much information for teachers to sift through and evaluate; whether it's online, print sources, curriculums, etc. It would be nice to just have one place that has everything you need. For free. Organized so you can easily find the information. Already been sifted through to ensure it's standards & research based, high quality, engaging, "tried and true", easy to understand, all materials included and suggestion for interventions and enrichment. (In other words, a Janet from Good Place.)

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? I do not have previous experience with copyright and intellectual property. 

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? I have shared things I created with my coworkers through google docs or by emailing it to them.  I have never copyrighted it or placed limits on how they could use it. 

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.  I now know that I can copyright the things I create and give others varying ways to use them.  I also know to look for the copyright on things I use to make srue I am using them properly.  

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? 

Before the webinar and any work with GoOpenNC, I knew about copyright and not to post things online or photocopy certain things. I am guilty of sharing things with my colleagues that I shouldn't have.

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? 

Previously, I would just share it. People could do whatever they needed. 

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.

I now know the different ways to share and to see what others have shared. It's great to have such flexibiliy in the OER world!

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? 
I had no previous experience with copyright or intellectual property prior to this webinar. 

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? 
I freely shared my resources with teachers on my grade level.

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.

Now I know that I can license my work in a variety of ways depending on the level of "openness" I want to allow. I also understand what the licensing numbers/codes on others' work mean. The little quiz you did was helpful in applying what we had just learned in your explanation of the different licensing codes.

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? 

Honestly, I have had very little to no experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webniar. I understand the ethical and legal aspects of securing specific materials because I am in a testing grade. I have been trained over the years on how and why we need to secure certain testing materials.

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? 

We create our lesson plans and share other resource via google drive. This drive is shared with collegues, administrators in the school and in the county. 

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.

After joining the webinar I learned the value in knowing the coypright guidelines and how to share resources. I am now exposed to the OER world and can make those connections.

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? 

I have strived to be a teacher who is aware of copyright but I admit that knowledge was often focused towards knowing not to copy pages out of textbooks. I never considered copyright when it came to possibly using resources I found online and freely changes them to meet my classroom needs. I know and believe in intellectual property because of TeachersPayTeachers and the work their teacher authors produce. 

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? 

I have spent hours upon hours researching, vetting, and creating science units for my 5th graders over thje years. Each year adding more to improve the content.(Though I will be honest, I never considered copyright whille building these resources.)  In the last few year I freely shared those entire units, even the entire year's worth of personal lesson plans I created, with the different 5th grade teams I worked with. I fully believe in collaboration!

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.

After watching the 6 OER videos from the webinar and learning the CC licenses my thinking had definitely changed! I want to be a teacher who is using resources that are legal for me to use, remix, and distribute. I do not want to be unintentiojnally breaking copyright laws in order to find resources necessary to teach. 

I've learned the different copyright laws, how they apply to the resources I choose to use or remix in my classroom, but also the copyright laws I can attach to the intellectual property I create. 

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? 

Very little!  In the 21 years of teaching I have been exposed to the various copy right laws, but never to the degree of what we saw in the webinar.

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? 

In the past I shared what I created with my colleagues.  Some items I posted on Teacher Pay Teacher.

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.

My thought process changed considerably since the webinar.  I now consider whether or not I want my work adapted, shared, etc.  

1. It's sad to say I knew very little about the copyright and intellectual property before this webinar. I knew I could not sell anything that I copied but thats about it. 

2. Most teachers would share documents in our google drive. I would purchase somethings from TPT.

3. After reflecting on the webinar, I think its only right to give credit where credit is due. I surprised this topic has not been mentioned in our schools. People invest a lot of thought and time into creating these documents. I referenced the document on Building Math Mindset Lessons. It said remix so I know it can be adjusted to meet the needs of my students. 

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? 

Prior to this webinar, I knew that there were copyright laws and that I should always read the "Terms of Use" page on Teachers Pay Teachers prior to making copies/sharing. However, I did not know how extensive Copyright laws were.

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? 

This is only my second year teaching so I have yet to create something that I shared with others (which is why I joined this initiative!) 

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.

My thought process has changed in the sense that now I am informed on the different types of Copyright and I believe that in a field such as education, all materials should be open for distribution and use by other teachers. In order to teach and meet the needs of all students, we need to work together. 

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? 

As far as copyright and intellectual property goes, I only knew about using resources to write research papers (giving credit and changing words so it didn't count as plagiarism), or to make copies of resources that allowed copies at school. 

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? 

I have always openly shared things I have created.  I was never aware of the many different copyright options.  We are a Google school district, so when I was in the classroom, my teammates and I created many things and openly shared between us.

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.

I never realized how many different licensing options there were (ND, SA, etc.).  I looked at a resource for 1.OA called "Domino Addition".  It is licensed as "BY" which means we an copy, distribute it, display, or remix it as long as we give Illustrative Math credit.

1) I have had some experience teaching copyright law in K-5.

2) I have always shared any of my own created resources freely and allowed them to be shared and edited.

3) Personally, I have no desire to benefit financially from any resources, lesson plans, etc. that I have created.  I think the webinar shared valuable information that I was not aware of and I will definitely bring it back to my peers and the teachers I work with.

1.  Prior to the webinar, I knew that I needed to give credit to sources I used.  I also knew that when I purchased items (from TPT), that the license was only for my classroom use.

2.  I have always freely shared any resources I have created with my PLC.

3. I did not know there were so many different types of copyrights with different allowances attached to each.  I now know what each of the licensing codes means I am able to do with resources I find and want to use.  

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? 

I've sat in meetings where they tell you can't print, copy, use, or share files and images that are copyrighted or labeled a certain way.  I never really took it that seriously, because who's paying attention to what teachers in a small county are doing? 

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? 

I have always shared lessons and materials that I've made through email or google drive. I don't care who uses it or what changes they make. 

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.

Seeing that article about a school district sued for copyright infringement has made me want to pay close attention to copyrighted materials. The resource that I looked at was a double digit division game on Scholastic's website.  I read the terms of use and was surprised that there are specific rules I'd have to follow to link the game on my classroom webpage.  I would only be able to share the link to Scholastic's homepage, not the direct link to the game.  Also, the link would have to be in plain text unless special permission is received from Scholastic. I've never paid attention to terms of use when adding links to my website in the past.  I just don't understand why it matters. 

Before this webinar, I had the fundamental knowledge of copyright and intellectual property necessary for working in education (Don't show Disney!). I have never, in any way, copyrighted or limited the use of any of my intellectual property. I have also never tried to monetize any of my teacher created resources. I did not know all of the different ways to license copyrighted work. I saved a resource about graphing polygons created by Illustrative Mathematics. I now know that SA Licensing means that if I distribute this resource, I must use the identical license and cannot use this resource for commercial purposes. 

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? Prior to the webinar I had very little experience with copyright and intellectual property. I have heard of the terms previously but do not know much about them and how they effect me.

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? I have not had the priviledge of creating my own resources yet.

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at. Since viewing the webinar as well as the resources I've looked at, I have been able to learn more. Properly copyrighting resources is very important in order to ensure proper rights are given to the creator. The resources on the platform do a good job of making it clear on what you can do with the given resource. 

I was aware of the copyright laws prior to the webinar. My district's technology director trained a team of teachers in an initiative called Gen Z that I was apart of. I think it is very important to follow the right procedures when using other people's work. This platform is going to help teachers tremendously with the coding system it has established. 

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? 

Prior to this webinar, I had very little experience with copyright and intellectual property.

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? 

I collaborate with team members and other collegues.  We share information through google docs and email.  TPT has been used as well.

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.

The webinar provided alot of valuable information.  Copyright laws are more extensive than I realized. The information reinfored the importance of paying attention to the copyright of material when copying and sharing.  The proper rights should be given to the creators.  The resources, that I've reviewed, are good for referencing and gaining clarity.

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? 

I have no prior expereience with copyright or intellectual property prior to the webinar. I did not realize that there were different types of copyright!

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? 

I have shared things that I have created with coworkers on google drive or dropbox, or given them hard copies. I have let them copy or modify them as they wish, with no restrictions.

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.

My thought process hasn't really changed, I have just learned through the webinar to make sure to check resources carefully and to give credit to people who have created resources. I am really excited about sharing and collaborating with educators around the state!

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? 

As someone who curates resources for our district, I had to be mindful of copyright rules.  I often contacted creators of educational resources for permission to use their resources on district unit guides.

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? 

I never really thought about it.

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.

I now recognize that there is a whole host of resources "out there" that are open to use.  The big thing is going to be having to vet resources to ensure that they align with NC Standards.  That's one of the benefits I see to GoOpenNC resources- many will have been reviewed and checked for alignment to NC standards.  One thing I will have to remain viligent about is to pay attention to copyright rules, especially if permission has been granted to remix items.

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar?  I have some prior knowledge with copyright and intellectual property from a previous school.  One job I had was to ensure that teachers did not use unauthorized mateirals when making copies and when presenting informaition.

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? I share lessons and worksheets on DropBox and Google Drive.

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.  From the webinar, I learned about the many ways Copyright is used.  Some I knew and others and I did not now.  This gives me a frame of what I should look for when I am working with someone else's intellectual property. 

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? 

Completing an annual moodle training on copyright laws.

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? 

Free range.  Free use.

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.

I was not aware of the symbols for use.  I still need to study their meaning more and actually find a web source with them.  

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? 

Previously, I have had the professional development provided by the district. 

2) How did you previously allow the use of your intellectual property? 

In the past, when I created something, I allowed others to change/remix and share the content. I did not consider the attribution aspect of the copyright for my intellectual property. 

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.

From the webinar, I learned that I should consider how I want the content I create to be used, and then, assign appropriate copyright label. The webinar also gave me a chance to think about the material I create and who owns it. Now, I'm thinking that I need to be aware of when I work on materials (i.e. during school hours or on my own time) and for whom I create materials.  

1.  I knew very little about copyright rules for sharing resources and probably accessed and used things that I shouldn't have.  I understood the basic rules and I have a better grasp of copyrighted materials like books and workbooks.

2.  I share resources with colleagues all of the time, but I don't use resources like TPT very much, and I feel like I do a pretty good job of not using or sharingthe intellectual property of others.

3.  I think that I need to be more careful and respectful of the property of others especially when sharing resources.  It was very helpful to see all of the different labels to help identify resources.  I look forward to exploring more of the resources from the platform.

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar?  I know and knew that things were copy written , so that you could/would not use them but I always got my stuff from other teachers and thought... ok so obviously they have done thier copy write homework.

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? I have never put my things up for public use, I use them and offer them to colleages but not the public.

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at. Educators are such law breakers... lol... but we do it for the love of the children and the love of learning. The webinar really opened my eyes to the copyright laws and what I should be paying attention to when using material that is not mine! 

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? 

My only experience dealt with copyright in written material or videos.

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? 

I am not a classroom teacher so have not had experience with this type. 

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.

I need to be much more careful online now that I am aware of the issues of copyright but am happy to know that creative commons exists to help with this. It's very much new to me as is this Hub. I find it all not so easy to use. 

I had some experience with copyright law and intellecutal property however Webinar #1 covered specific guidelines and provided me with additional information about the proper use of using teacher made lessons. As mention in the webinar, many times when teachers search for lessons, they tend to use google or a website like teacher pay teacher.  Teachers sometimes share this lessons without regards to the creator of the lesson.  Also, these lessons may not be aligned to their curriculum but they use resource in their instruction. The Open Education resources provide the teacher with how the material/resources can be used, which eliminate violating copyright law. 

Before this webinar, I would use the intellectual property how it best suit me, not adhering to the restrictions of sharing and copying lessons. Now, I understanf that trade secrets, trademarks, copyright and patents are kinds intellectual property. In addition to Webinar #1, I also use the commonsense.org website to gain more knowledge about copyright and intellectual property concept. The Webinar#1 also explained in detailed the classification of teacher's lessons by attributions, No derivative works, share alike and non-commercial. This information help me to understand how to ethically use teacher's made lesson as it relate to copyright and intellectual property.

1) I had been exposed to some of this information through digital learning workshops and faculty meetings provided by the media coordinators at my previous school

2) I have only shared lessons informally, with colleagues personally known to me.

3) I looked at the Creative Commons website, and I think this allows people to make better use of each other's work. I think the potential for finding high quality, relevant materials is higher than when just conducting a random "google" search.

1, I have been aware of digital copyright since my daughters were in middle school and needed to do bibliographies for papers they were writing. I knew credit for pictures from google and authors of articles needed to be credited.  I never gave much thought though to assignments, lessons, and clipart that were on the internet though until this year when our school began to use the EL:curriculum.  I realized every picture that is utilized has been given attribution

2.  I always shared my work on google drive or gave printed copies of what I had made to coworkers. 

3.  I know now that attribution is both a respect and legal/ethical issue.  It is convenient not to have to recreate a lesson or worksheet, and important to give credit to whom it is due.  I have never been one to need money for work I created, nor did I feel I needed the credit (for lessons or worksheets).  In the past I helped write integrated units of study for our district and never worried about taking credit.  I realize now that I could have sought attribution for them through creative commons licensing.  I feel in the future that most of my original work that I share will be attribution noncommercial.  I look forward to seeing how others can better my work, but would like to keep the ideas free to all of my public domain colleagues.  

1. Previous experience with copyright and intellectual property - Having to go through copyright training every year.

2. If I make anything and share it with my teammates they are free to use it/alter it as they see fit.

3. I need to think more about how these resources can be used/tailored to suit our needs.

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? 

Until I joined the #GoOpenNC initiative, I thought I knew a lot, but I was wrong!! :) 

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? 

I allow anyone to use my materials. :) 

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.

I plan to encourage my teachers to collaborate and add their resources and stop using TpT! 

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? 

Previously I had never heard of creative commons.  I only had experience with copyright where you could not copy or use without the permission of the company.  I have used Teachers Pay Teachers, and I have also posted resources on TPT but never really considered copyrighting any of my work.

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? 

I have always shared resources and lesson plans with anyone that I could.  I never used any type of copyright even when posting on TPT.  There are also no clear guidelines about what acutally belongs to me or my county as of now.

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.

Now I see that there is so much more out there than I realized.  I also will be more apt to look for creative commons copyrights on the resources that I use so that I can ensure that I have used the resource correctly and given credit to the creator.

1.  I have attended PD where copyright laws were discussed in regard to books, the internet, and other research resources.  However, I didn't know much about how copyright affects intellectual property.

2.  I have consistently shared freely anything that I have created.  

3.  I now understand the importance of copyrighting intellectual properties with specific licenses.  I am very excited to have access to many resources that are already created and to share resources with other teachers in NC

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? 

I had a poor understanding of the anachronyms.  I have paid TPT for resources and made sure that I have been the only person to use them.  I also use resources provided by the district and friends.

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? 

I am very generous with my stuff.  If you like it, you may have it to do as you please and you don't have to credit me.

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.

I will be more thoughtful moving forward to follow the wishes of the person who created the material.  I myself will continue to allow folks to use my stuff as they please.

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? 

I knew little about coyright and intellectual property. 

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? 

I share lesson plans and material with my colleagues. 

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.

Being aware of the different resources and how they should be handled. Being careful on how each creator/publisher wants their material to be shared/used. I wasn't aware of all the different types of labels.  

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? 

Prior to the webinar, I had a good understanding of copyright and intellectual property as it is part of what I teach teachers and students. 

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? In the past, I have felt like my intellectual property was one to share.....the more the merrier.  

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.  It has changed over time as I have tried to build my brand as a professional to change the world for good. 

1. Limited to if it has copyright don't make copies. 

2. I would share with colleagues via email/google drive.

3. I didn't realize there were so many different copyright laws. More knowledge of how it works with GoOpenNC. 

*Sorry responses are shorter I can't remember the ones I had typed in before the Hub was deleted.  

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? 

I had learned about copyright and intellectual property when I was a part of the Governor's Teacher Network back in 2014-2015. I had to keep that in mind as I created the materials for the units I developed that were posted in Schoolnet.

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? 

I had never actually put a copyright on my work; however, I have always freely shared and allowed for others to edit as they wished.

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.  I have learned that it is good to know how things are labeled in open licensing and what that means for how you can use those items.

1.) I did not know much about copyright and intellectual property.

2.) I use Google Drive to share lesson plans and Power Points. 

3.) I realized that some of the materials that I may be using I may not be able to use since my school is no longer using that program. I'm being more cautious with materials that I am using and printing.

I have always been aware of copyright laws in education and have previously shared intellectual property with other math teachers. I have also used materials that the shared with me. I have been made more aware of the different categories within the copyright process.

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? 

My previous experience was very limited. I knew of it but didn't fully understand it and the stipulations around it.

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? 

I've been sharing things I create with my team on Google Drive.I share freely and allow them to make any changes needed for their own students.

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.

The webinar was helpful because it made me more aware of the different copyright circumstances and how to use resources appropriately.

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar?  I just completed the curriculum review academy and I am in the process of reviewing several resources on the platform.

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property?  I have always shared materials I have created with others if they ask for them.

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.  Since finding out about the creative commons lisence I am more inclined to attach a creative commons lisence to my materials so that people know that can copy it and modify it as long as I am given credit somehow.

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? 

I worked in the Newspaper industry previously therefore I'm familiar with copyright and have learned some over the years regarding intellectual property.  I've learned more about intellectual property in the Educational Arena and from this webinar.

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? 

Over many years in business and education discussing ideas, projects, thoughts, etc with people.

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.

Well, some schools and districts I worked in the teams and teachers did not always collaborate and some would actually not share.  Where I am they mainly share and collaborate so we can all work together for the education of our students and it shows.  Our students grow better and do better when we work together as a team.  I hope this HUB brings more educators together and collaborating.  I would've loved this my first year teaching because I felt lost many times and alone.  Now I have new teachers many days waiting at my door asking advice, etc., therefore I share with them so they don't feel left out on their own.  I love this resource for teachers.

I looked at another resource tonight I want to use next year when we do our Social Studies unit on Culture.

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? 

          Over the Summer, I have been working with my district to write MTSS lesson plans. We had to look up copyright and vet each resource we used. 

2) How did you previously allow the use of your intellectual property? 

          Anything I create for the classroom I freely share with fellow teachers. We are all here to help each other. 

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.

          It is important to check copyright and look for the licensing of resources before we use them.  It is important to give credit where credit is due.

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? 

Prior to the webinar, copyright and intellectual property seemed to be related more to formal, legal documents. However, as a district that has purchasing curricular from  outside vendors, we have had to become more familiar with copyright laws and what is allowed even when you purchase "textbooks."

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? 

The bulk of my work  is to create materials for "train the trainer" models of PD so that schools could use the materials as needed. Depending on the purpose, sometimes materials are created for "remixing" and other times they are created to be used as is without modification, but not to protect intellectual property - more to enforce uniformity.

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.

Teachers have always been known to "borrow", "remix" as a right of the profession.  This webinar opened by eyes to better understanding how to share safely and that proecting intellectual property is not such a bad thing.  We just need to be clear about purpose and audience when it comes to sharing of ideas and materials.

1.  I have had very little experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to this webinar.

2.  I have always shared materials and resources I have created with other teachers I work with.  Currently I typically share materials using Google Drive.

3.  My thought process in allowing the use of my intellectual property has changed some after the webinar.  I learned there are different levels of "copyrighting" materials.  This new knowledge has changed my thinking as to whether I should freely share materials I create without giving myself credit as the creator.  

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? I didn't have any experience before this webinar. I knew not to copy and share things that we're mine, but that was it. 

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? If I created any materials, I would share them with my team or teachers at school, but that was it. I never thought about not sharing it or putting restrictions on it. 

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at. I am now aware of all the different codes for copyright! There are so many! The resources on the platform seem to be clear with their copyright rules. I am excited to dig deeper and find more and more NC standards materials to use! 

Basically, my experience was the meeting we were required to have at the beginning of each school year.  I found that rather than attempt to understand all of the information, it was simply easier to just purchase my own materials so that I didn't have to worry about breaking rules.

Previously, I had no problem sharing anything I created.  I remember that in college, we always said that teachers had a license to steal.  I now know that this is not anywhere close to the truth.  We are the role models for our students.  We have to show the students the proper procedures especially in this increasingly computer based world.  I really enjoyed and understood the information in the webinar and it has given me a new outlook on the sharing of information. 

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar? 

Previous experience with copyright and intellectual property was primarily through writing papers for college.

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property? 

I share everything openly for all to use and edit.

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.

I now understand that we need to ask permission to use a lot of what is posted on the web....many people post work for their students and it can be accessed via Google, but that doesn't mean they give permission.

My previous experience was somewhat confined to the back to school requirements that we are required to complete with our media cooodinator about copyright laws. I generally share my activities, lesson plans and math pathways or centers with my peers and instruct them to adjust to fit their students needs. 

Based on the webinar, I am more knowledgeable about copyright laws, benefits and requirements. Creators of resources have rights. Resources on the website can be created, remixed or reviewed and utilized in different ways.
