1) Students spend nearly every waking minute outside of school consuming media like the internet and music. 2) Teachers need to set clear expectations for appropriate technology use through policies and educate students on issues like copyright, plagiarism, and ethics related to sharing content. 3) Students should be careful about assuming they can freely use or share copyrighted content and should seek out legal alternatives when possible.

2. They Know More Than We Do?
Do your students know more
than you do about technology?
No Way!
Of Course!

3. Think Again…
 According to recent research, when asked how much
time they spend ‘consuming media’, students between
the ages of 8 – 18 said:
“practically every waking minute –
except for the time in school.”
Let’s try that question again…

4. Now What?
 Ok, we’re aware that our students are spending more
time online, and have more knowledge about
technology than we do, so what do we do now?

5. Setting Expectations
 Acceptable Use Policy
 Policies that schools establish to mandate the
expectations they have for their students and their
internet use
 Examples from Portland Schools acceptable use policy:
 Be mindful of network security, and immediately report any
bugs, errors, or security problems to the system administrator.
 Users may not illegally copy, send, or distribute any
copyrighted software, work, or other material.
 Users may not access, attempt to access, modify, or delete any
record or file without permission or authorization.

7. Is that Plagiarism?
 Plagiarism is more than just copying text out of a
textbook. Plagiarism also includes technological
resources such as websites, online articles, music,
photos, and other media sources

 Tom wants to add a photo to his report on Civil War
heroes. He searches the internet and finds an
awesome picture of Ulysses S. Grant. He highlights
the picture, right clicks, copies and pastes the picture
into his paper. He prints the paper and hands it into
his teacher.
 What should Tom do?
Turn the Research
Paper In Copyright

10. Research the Copyright

photo, here’s an example of correct usage protocol:
 Flickr:

12. Music Sharing
 You are a 24 year old Graduate student and you enjoy
music as a hobby so you download and share music
using Kazza. You aren’t selling this music or making
money from it in any way.
 What should you do?
Download Don’t Use

13. Music Sharing – Download

 In 2008 Minnesota Mother Jammie Thomas was fined
1.92 Million dollars for sharing 24 songs.

15. Face the Facts!
 Like it or not, “because so many of them are
multitasking — say, surfing the Internet while
listening to music — they pack on average nearly 11
hours of media content into that seven and a half
hours.” (emphasis added)

Now What?

16. Purchasing Papers Online
 William has an essay due on Online Education versus
Traditional Classroom Teaching. His friend, Bob, calls
him and wants to go out instead. Bob tells him about a
cool website where he can purchase the essay. William
caves to peer pressure, buys his essay, and copies it on
to his classroom blog.
 What should William do?
Buy Paper Write His Own

17. Buy Paper!
 No! William knows that copying and pasting it
wrong. However, he thinks that the paper is his
because he purchased it and it is his property.
 But, his actions still falls under the definition of
plagiarism
 Plagiarism: The act of appropriating the literary
composition of another author, or excerpts, ideas, or
passages therefrom, and passing the material off as
one's own creation. (italics added for emphasis)
Try Again!

18. Write His Own
 Correct! William should tell his friend Bob that he
needs to write a paper.
 He can still use internet sources to gather information
or quotes to use in his paper. There are many websites
that he can access to correctly cite his paper.
 Some examples are:
 Son of Citation: http://citationmachine.net/
 Purdue Owl:

19. Internet Hacking
 Joseph is doing a project on how Sports teaches
responsibility to students at a early age. He remembers
seeing a You Tube clip explaining the methods of
teaching responsibility through punctuality, Time
management, and teamwork.
 The only way he can show the clip to his peers is
by changing the security settings and allowing the clip
to play...
 What should Joseph do?
Change Settings Ask for Help

20. Change Settings
 No! This is considered hacking, because although
Joseph is using the You Tube clip to show his
classmates the benefits of how sports teaches
responsibility. He gained access to show the clip by
"changing" the settings.

21. Ask IT Dept. for Help
 Correct! Contact your teacher or IT department to
have the video ‘unlocked’ in order to share it with your
classmates
 You may also download the video at home, burn it to a
CD and bring it into the classroom to share. Be sure to
check for fair use policy.

22. Software Pirating
 Jake wants to do his English work at home on his
family's computer. The problem Jake has is the word
processing software isn't compatible with his school's
Microsoft Word platform. One of Jake's best friends
says, he has Microsoft Office installed and he can lend
Jake his install disk to put on his home computer.
 Because Jake is using this for his education Jake thinks
this is ok.
 What should Jake do?
Take Software Find Alternative

23. Take the Software
 No!
 "The legal implications of unauthorized software use
should be clear to everyone who owns or uses a
computer. According to the U.S. Copyright Act, illegal
reproduction of software is subject to civil damages of
as much as $100,000 per title infringed plus criminal
penalties, including fines of as much as $250,000 per
title infringed and imprisonment of up to five years.
Given these high stakes, the consequences are
certainly not worth the risks."

24. Look for Alternatives
 Correct!
 Free alternatives to MS Office
 Open Office - Cross Platform Open Source
 Abiword - Cross Platform Open Source
 Neo Office - Open Source Mac Program
 Google Docs - Online Office Suite
