Welcome to the Copyright Site!http://www.thecopyrightsite.org/This site is dedicated to helping educators everywhere in the United States understand the issue of copyright. As an educator, there are three main issues you need to understand. They are: the Public Domain, Fair Use, and Intellectual Property. We have tried to make them as simple as possible, and have included more complex definitions and explanations in more detailed legal-like form if you would like to do more research.
Educator's Spotlight Digesthttp://www.sosspotlight.org/NEW ONLINE MAGAZINE FOR TEACHERS OF INFORMATION LITERACY SKILLS S.O.S for Information Literacy announces the premier issue of Educators' Spotlight Digest, the first multimedia, online magazine dedicated to providing information and ideas to teachers of information literacy skills. Educators' Spotlight Digest, published three times per year, is a free, online publication of S.O.S. for Information Literacy, a project of Syracuse University's Center for Digital Literacy, in collaboration with the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) and funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). S.O.S. for Information Literacy is a dynamic web-based multimedia resource for educators, currently in development, that promises to make a significant contribution to enhancing the teaching of information literacy skills to children. The "SOS" in the title of the project means more than a call to action to enhance information literacy instruction. It stands for Situation (e.g., grade level, curricula area), Outcome (e.g., information skill(s) to be learned), and Strategies (e.g., teaching ideas or specific techniques and strategies to achieve a desired outcome). The educator can input the situation and desired outcomes, and the information system will suggest possible motivational teaching strategies when a strategy search is used.
The George Lucas Educational Foundation (GLEF)http://www.edutopia.org/The George Lucas Educational Foundation (GLEF) was founded in 1991 as a nonprofit operating foundation to celebrate and encourage innovation in schools. Since that time, we have been documenting, disseminating, and advocating for exemplary programs in K-12 public schools to help these practices spread nationwide. We publish the stories of innovative teaching and learning through a variety of media -- a magazine, an e-newsletter, CD-ROMs, DVDs, books, and this Web site. Here, you'll find detailed articles, in-depth case studies, research summaries, instructional modules, short documentary segments, expert interviews, and links to hundreds of relevant resources. You'll also be able to participate as a member of an online community of people actively working to reinvent schools for the twenty-first century. Using This Web Site
Although there's no single recipe for creating a great school, our experience has shown that the most successful schools share many common traits. Here, you'll be able to learn more about these key elements and discover how specific schools have put theory into practice. You'll also find a wealth of resources to assist you in your efforts to transform schools.
People use GLEF content in a variety of ways. Our articles and video segments allow people to actually "see" best practices in action. Our content is used in meetings, presentations, and classes, in crafting grant proposals, for curriculum and instruction ideas, and more. Our video gallery contains more than a hundred short documentary segments and expert interviews. Within the video gallery, click on the Documentary tab or the Interview tab. Browse through the eleven topics using the pull-down bar. Free Instructional Modules created by professors of education and professional-development specialists may be used as extension units in existing courses, or can be used independently in workshops and meetings. All modules include articles, video footage, PowerPointŪ presentations, discussion questions, and class activities. They draw from GLEF's archives of best practices and correlate with ISTE/NCATE NETS standards.  Send comments or questions to Olga Verbeek, Library Webmaster, at verbeeko@salve.edu.
