when using videos in lessons

same?

Literacy Lessons

4. Sharing VHS/ DVDs With Your
Class
For educational uses, it is legal to use videos
without paying royalties
If you have any doubts about whether it can
be considered “educational use”, ask
permission, and give credit to the author
Usually, if an author doesn’t want their work
used, they will just ask you to stop using it
5. Sharing Web Videos with your
Class
Showing your students videos from YouTube and
other sites for educational uses are allowed.

Uploading videos to these sites for educational
purposes might start some arguments though!

When in doubt, try to stick with videos from
educational sites, such as TeacherTube and
SchoolTube.
6. Creative Commons
So what if I want my students to create
videos, and share them?
Creative Commons allows students to apply
their own level of copyright to whatever
they create!
There is no better way for students to learn
than through experience

7. Remember…
If you want your students to respect the
work of others, and give due credit,
you must show them how to!
