The next Online copyright course: Crayons, Computers, and Copyright: Making Sense of Copyright Opportunities in K-12 Teaching. http://cipcommunity.org/Buttler_K-12 Dates: October 4-15, 2010. Instructor: Dwayne Buttler, J.D. Description: Copyright is many things to many people. Some loathe it, some love it, some tolerate it, all have to manage it. Copyright plays a central role in K-12 education, but confusion about the law thrives in myths and misunderstandings surrounding how it works. Managing copyright and meeting the needs of students is, well, manageable with an understanding of some basic principles and practical applications. "Copyright IS ?" ... will serve as the broad foundation for this course. Discussion will concentrate on learning some introductory principles, identifying the role of copyright in K-12 and education generally, and demystifying copyright for use in the classroom and beyond.
