We had learned about the importance of observing copyright from
The Edublogger: Guide to Copyright Fair Use and Creative Commons
We read a very interesting story about
an eleven year old boy who got into bother
when he used a photograph
of a slice of salami in his ‘student blog’
without giving credit to the photographer.
We are always very careful about
using images on this blog
and observing copyright.
Recently we have seen original work
from ‘If Only The Best Birds Sang’
on other school and classroom blogs.
That would be fine 🙂 by us
but it has been reposted and presented as if
it is the original work of that other class or school.
This has been particularly true of posts like
The Importance of Learning Tables
much of which was originally written as a special
‘The Importance of Tables Newsletter’
that went home to each family in our school in 2011.
We LOVE to share.
You are VERY welcome to use
ANY of the original material here
in class or in letters going home to parents.
However we would really appreciate it
if you wanted to use any original material
on your own school or class blog
that you would attribute it to
‘If Only The Best Birds Sang’.
