Legal Rights and Liabilities Impacting the Educator

This course is a survey of the legal rights and liabilities of educators concerning use of various media in education. Among the topics covered are the requirements and exemptions under current copyright laws, intellectual property statutes and practices, ethics in media education, student and staff privacy issues, and common software licensing package agreements. The development of acceptable use policies and consideration of censorship, State Board Regulations, Pennsylvania Department of Education Standards, and local boards of education policies are included.

Reflection
It was really fascinating to discover the many legal issues educators must be aware of, not only in developing their own work, but also the work of students.
