Fair Use

After last lecture I realized that I just needed to look up a fair way to cite the pictures in my Glogster. Sure enough, Owl at Perdue has the answer: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/08/

Looking at my Glog and the website that I thought everything was kosher to use (once I figured out how to cite it) I realize that some things are obviously not fair use--like one is looks like a scanned image from a calendar. I'm going to have to clean up a lot.
I used images from Flikr (the website that the technology competition suggested), but I didn't make sure they had the symbols that allow me to share. Looking at the photos, I think the only one that I might be able to use is of Severus Snape, and that would be if I got permission. See, all the other photos look like they were stolen and put online, but this one the user actually painted it using a computer program (she also posted the original that she took Snape off of).
So, yes, I've learned how to Glog, but I need better images.
My reflection for this week is going to be howstudents need time to use these technologies because there are problems: for example, I need to find some new images for my Glog because the pictures aren't fair use.
I think that as teachers who want to use technology in the classroom, we're going to have to be accomadating to these problems.
As a TA, I know that some English second language students accidentally plagarized parts of their Book of Mormon Final. Yes, they were allowed to use other sources because they do not speak English as well, but they copy and pasted material from the web and I happened to find it--2 students copy and pasted the same thing from the web.
That sort of thing can get you kicked out of BYU or get my future students in really big trouble.
I think the point is that we teach as we go along and accomadate and make time and even allow for real mistakes.
The students at BYU did not get into trouble, but they were introduced to what plagerism is. I hope it's okay that I shared the story on this blog.

Just a reminder, I'm in the competition and will complete my fair use project later.
