Let’s begin with the
obvious:
The potential of the Internet
Potential to:
collaborate
Potential to:
share teaching resources
Potential to:
make better resources
Potential to:
save time
Potential to:
save money
Potential to:
stop reinventing various
wheels
However, two problems.
First problem:
Second problem:
Teachers don't hold copyright to their
resources
Two solutions,
but first....
1. Copyright
What is copyright?
Bundle of rights
It last for life + 50 years
It’s very restrictive
(PERFORM, TRANSLATE, ADAPT)
It’s often enforced
It’s very old (1710)
It’s automatic
NO
REQUIRED
*applies online*
IT’S MEANT TO WORK LIKE THIS:
The commons is a public good
+
People need an incentive to create
=
Limited monopoly, i.e. copyright
=
A vibrant culture
Statute of Anne, 1710:
“For the encouragement of learning”
USA Constitution:
“To promote the progress of
science and useful arts.”
However...
For most people, this is copyright:
‘All Rights Reserved’ copyright
restricts the potential of digital
technologies and the Internet

You can't apply a CC licence if you
don't hold copyright
Teachers don't hold copyright to
their teaching resources

All teaching materials:
1. No need to ask permission
2. Keep resources when you leave
3. Teachers receive credit when their
work is reused

the Internet”

“When I look outside at other schools,
I think, why aren’t you doing this?”
Nathan Parker, Warrington School
“Teachers are collaborating more, and
they’re also involving their students in
the development of those teaching and
learning resources.”
Mark Osborne, ASHS

4. Implementing your policy
Most schools have adapted ASHS’s policy
This is a legal policy, but its primary
effects are cultural
As such, consultation with teaching
staff is essential
The purpose of the policy is:
1.Legalise current sharing & reuse
1.Encourage further sharing & reuse
But how will teachers share?
Technology is rapidly catching up.
New platforms
New licensing technologies
 This will become common sense
very quickly

But this is just the beginning
Millions of publically funded copyright
works will be openly released in the next
~5 years
CCANZ argues that this should include
all publically funded works, including
cultural, intellectual and educational
works
This is happening all over the planet
These works can be freely
shared, adapted and reused by
schools

Creative Commons is a great way to
teach students about copyright
Creative Commons shifts the
conversation from what students can’t
do to what they can.
Too often, young people are labelled ‘pirates’
And teachers become ‘copyright police’
‘
But active cultural engagement should be
encouraged
'read only' → 'read/write'
