Watch using colored text -- hard to read. Also, keep your posts short and sweet -- let your readers continue it with comments. <BR/>Nice job!<BR/>Mrs. M.Jessica Modrzejewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795210860726169081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954706359313600159.post-59671760277440538362008-10-23T14:50:00.000-07:002008-10-23T14:50:00.000-07:00I think a good balance for any media specialist is...I think a good balance for any media specialist is to provide copyright education for students and faculty. Taking preventative measures may help to alleviate any tension that could possibly arise due to copyright issues.<BR/><BR/>Copyright isn't a huge issue at my school (not to say it isn't a huge problem) because of budget constraints. I think if money wasn't an issue, copyright would be focused upon much more closely. However, because the budgets in education are continually cut, a blind eye is often turned to the abundance of photocopying etc. that goes on during a school year.Mrs. T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292532331811812788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954706359313600159.post-48929932988847290252008-10-23T05:44:00.000-07:002008-10-23T05:44:00.000-07:00That is a great point.

However, as the media specialists, we must protect the interests of our school by reporting known violations to the principle.Brandi W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06302319602732307129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954706359313600159.post-52503589084425613232008-10-22T21:49:00.000-07:002008-10-22T21:49:00.000-07:00I, too, think that after speaking to the suspected...I, too, think that after speaking to the suspected violators, and the issue has not been resolved, notifying the administration of possible violations of copyright law is the next step. Then it is up to the administration to handle the problem. We as media specialists can only do so much.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13378960871604438116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954706359313600159.post-35321107888435091102008-10-22T15:28:00.000-07:002008-10-22T15:28:00.000-07:00If various positions have attempted to resolve the...If various positions have attempted to resolve the copyright violation (i.e. the media specialist, technology specialist, etc.) and the infringement continues, I think ultimately the principal becomes the person who is liable, assuming that these other positions have informed him/her of the violation. It is the principal who is responsible for ensuring legal compliance of a staff member under his/her jurisdiction. I'm not sure if this is law, but it only makes sense that if other staff members have reasonably attempted to resolve the situation to no avail, the principal is the boss who becomes responsible for ending the violation(s).Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11176451164835736854noreply@blogger.com
