Did you know in some parts of the EU, teachers aren\u2019t legally allowed to screen films or share teaching materials in the classroom? In our September episode of the Mozilla Curriculum Workshop, we learned from guest speakers and participants from around the world about how copyright issues are at play in education and how they connect to &#8211; or might impact &#8211; your local community. Watch the full episode below:<\/p>\n<p>Special guests included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cbahlai\">Christie Bahlai<\/a>, an insect ecologist who works on combining big data with open science to build sustainable agriculture systems at the University of Michigan in East Lansing, Michigan, US<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/markshillitoe\">Mark Shilltoe<\/a>, Director of Digital Learning &amp; Media at Gems World Academy in Switzerland<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PhilipHarney\">Philip Harney<\/a>, Technical &amp; Educational Content Lead at Coder Dojo in Ireland<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After discussing copyright laws, issues, and challenges in various countries as it pertains to education, participants and guest speakers landed on an idea for a useful, working prototype and the framework for a guide was born: \u201cSetting up sharable, remixable projects that abide by copyright law\u201d \u00a0(a.k.a. \u201dHey! Do you want to share this?\u201d). Guests and audience members posed ideas like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How to begin with openness and ownership in mind.<\/li>\n<li>Important questions to ask before starting a project.<\/li>\n<li>Incorporating social media into your work (and sharing it).<\/li>\n<li>Steps to follow for successfully sharing work online.<\/li>\n<li>Open publishing best practices.<\/li>\n<li>Available resources for more assistance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Mark Shillitoe grounded the group\u2019s conversation in students\u2019 rights of ownership over the work they create. As Philip Harney said, \u201cJust because you love it doesn\u2019t mean you own it.\u201d That\u2019s not always clear to people creating content on the web. Caring educators have an important role to play in helping youth understand and navigate copyright and licensing so they can keep ownership of the content they\u2019re proud to create and respect others\u2019 rights to help ensure their own.<br \/>\nIndeed as Christie Bahlai noted, \u201cTeaching copyright is a way to understand your place in the community.\u201d By becoming more conversant with the copyright rules where they live, educators can help themselves and their students understand their places as creators and consumers locally, globally, and around the web.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/imgflip.com\/gif\/1bi23h\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"made at imgflip.com\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgflip.com\/1bi23h.gif\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nWe\u2019d love your help to build out the guide and make it a resource to share with others.
