Breaking Rationale In Research
Question #1:
If you are unsure if your plans break copyright laws, who would be the best person to ask?
1.) Another teacher on the grade level
2.) The principal
3.) The media specialist
4.) The counselor
Rationale: I selected the principal, but the correct answer is the media specialist. The media specialist has to deal with copyright restrictions more often than anyone else in the school. I would still recommend doing your own research, and not relying completely on their advice though.
Question #13:
I am a teacher and I would like for my students to read a chapter from a book that is not in their textbook. I have a copy of the chapter. I decide to make a copy of the chapter for each student in my class from my one original copy. Did I break …show more content…
I struggled with this question a bit. Under Fair Use a teacher has the right to make copies of an original excerpt for their class, if the use is to discuss or critique the works for educational purposes. I see now that the example states that the teacher is making copies of a copy, which is where the copyright issue comes into play. Had she owned an original copy of the book, she would have been fine.
Question #18:
The “laws” of what is acceptable practice and what is not in the public school system are very clear.
1.) True
2.) False
Rationale: I selected true, that the laws of what is acceptable are clearly outlined. The correct answer is false. In my opinion a lot of the laws are very clear and obvious. However, I do see where confusion could arise. Regarding standard 3: Alcohol and Drugs, obviously you would not show up to teach your class drunk. I can imagine a group of teachers, however, not taking issue with having a drink at lunch during a teacher work day. It is important that you are clear on all laws and their full implications.
Question #33:
There are some crimes in which you may be in legal trouble but not necessarily trouble in your position as a teacher.
1.) True
2.)
