Kurtis Chase Copyright, Fair Use, and Personal Rights and Privacy Toolkit

Introduction

Hello all, thanks for taking time to visit my Webquest.As detailed in the title my name is Kurtis Chase I serve in the United States Air Force and is currently deployed. This is definitely a different experience i'm at my 4th FOB (forward operating base) in 47 days or so. I really enjoy seeing Iraq and being able to help different services to include coalition force with my job; all while attending school. Throughout this class I learned a lot about copyright, fair use, and other subjects and lessons throughout class. I think my favorite subject in which I learned about is the Fair Use, Derivative Works, and Creative Commons. These three subjects answered a lot of questions that I had, that I have not ask throughout my time in school. i very appreciative for these lessons and look forward to using them in the future as well as teaching coworker, associates, subordinates, and if blessed my own students one day.

Process

This process page is to inform you all of how I went about finding these tools and what made me acquire these specific tools. While conducting research throughout class there were a lot of question that arose and unlike before this class how I never ask the questions this time around I decided to. I went to the all mighty Google and ask hundred of questions during research to help educate myself on certain things.

Throughout my research there were certain websites that populated consistently that seemed to be reliable in this field. Some of the other source broke things down in simpler terms and helped me to further understand certain subject and titles. 

Evaluation

If you made this far through my Webquest then you are in the right place. Here is where I will discuss with you the sources found in the toolkit. More specifically how these tools relate the topic at hand being copyright, fair use, and personal rights and privacy. 

My favorite tools in this toolkit is Department of Education website, Copyright.gov, and Youtube. The reason being is because there are multiple tools or sources that can be found here on these websites especially copyright.gov and youtube. Youtube is better for auditorial and visual learners where as the copyright.gov and the Department of Education is better reading/writing learners. 

Department of Education inform individual of the rules, laws, statues, regulations, and other information regarding copyright, fair use, plagiarism, and much more.  

Copyright.gov is to me the holy grail or the bible for copyright information it has some many individual tools relating to not on copyright but all four topics covered in the title along with derivative works, creative commons, public domain, and many other topics which relate to copyright and intellectual property. 

Youtube you can find classroom discussion, forums, video conference, visual instructions and much more on any topic. Their are fellow-student if our re a student, fellow-instructor if you are an instructor, professional in the field, and your everyday normal folk speaking about these topics. You can learn from many different spectrums using this tool which could be considered a swift army knife. 

The other tools are great as well but they are more title specific however they are great source for the titles in which they cover. They go into grave detail on the specific title and gives you information which relates to the topic if that is what you need. 

Conclusion

This Webquest of mine is here to help individuals similar to me before taking Ethics and Legal Issues. It is her to help you all the questions in which you may have that you have not yet asked. It's also here to give you all a few tools to start off with as you build you own toolkit for answering and dealing copyright fair use, and privacy and personal rights. These are important topics and these tools will help you and those you care about to include future students and corker to stay on the correct side on the law when using others work remember always give credit where credit is due, and contrary to popular belief its best to ask for permission rather than forgiveness.

Teacher Page

Ensure students know the difference of each and explain to them that wikipedia can be a source as a creative common and/public domain. More often then not students are told wikipedia can not be used as a source when in fact it could be. Teachers have their own policy but this should not be a tool that we talk from students especially if the information can be verified to be true.

Something else I recommend is to have student look at court cases that involve copyright, fair use, and intellectual property as at the end of the day the final decision is up to the courts. Have them familiarize themselves with case just in case they are ever in the situation they have a reference point. If I was you all as instructors I would do the same especially seeing how some University and Institutes will no longer back you or help with legal fees. Breaking these rules are career ending and can be pretty pricy research is the key and proving why you are not wrong through the mistakes of other can be more useful than policies and statue understanding. 

Ask for permission not forgiveness.....
