Let’s begin with the obvious:

The potential of the Internet

Potential to:collaborate

Potential to:share teaching resources

Potential to:make better resources

Potential to:save time

Potential to:save money

Potential to:stop reinventing various

wheels

However, two problems.First problem:

Second problem: Teachers don't hold copyright to their

resources

Two solutions,but first....

1. Copyright

What is copyright?

Bundle of rights

It last for life + 50 years

It’s very restrictive(PERFORM, TRANSLATE, ADAPT)

It’s often enforced

It’s very old (1710)

It’s automatic

NO

REQUIRED

*applies online*

IT’S MEANT TO WORK LIKE THIS:

The commons is a public good+

People need an incentive to create=

Limited monopoly, i.e. copyright=

A vibrant culture

Statute of Anne, 1710: “For the encouragement of learning”

USA Constitution:“To promote the progress of

science and useful arts.”

However...

For most people, this is copyright:

‘All Rights Reserved’ copyright restricts the potential of digital technologies and the Internet

However...

You can't apply a CC licence if you don't hold copyright

Teachers don't hold copyright to their teaching resources

1. Copyright2. Creative Commons3. CC in schools

All teaching materials:

1. No need to ask permission

2. Keep resources when you leave

3. Teachers receive credit when their work is reused

“Realizing the full potential of the Internet”

Case studies at creativecommons.org.nz

“When I look outside at other schools, I think, why aren’t you doing this?”

Nathan Parker, Warrington School

“Teachers are collaborating more, and they’re also involving their students in the development of those teaching and

learning resources.”

Mark Osborne, ASHS

1. Copyright2. Creative Commons3. CC in schools4. Implementing your policy

Most schools have adapted ASHS’s policy

This is a legal policy, but its primary effects are cultural

As such, consultation with teaching staff is essential

The purpose of the policy is:

1.Legalise current sharing & reuse

1.Encourage further sharing & reuse

But how will teachers share?

Technology is rapidly catching up.

New platformsNew licensing technologies

This will become common sense very quickly

But this is just the beginning

Millions of publically funded copyright works will be openly released in the next

~5 years

CCANZ argues that this should include all publically funded works, including cultural, intellectual and educational

works

This is happening all over the planet

These works can be freely shared, adapted and reused by

schools

Creative Commons is a great way to teach students about copyright

Creative Commons shifts the conversation from what students can’t

do to what they can.

Too often, young people are labelled ‘pirates’

And teachers become ‘copyright police’

‘

But active cultural engagement should be encouraged

'read only' → 'read/write'

(83% of young NZers use a computer to make art in 2011 – CreativeNZ)
