Training Day today - Open Source Solutions, aka Good N' Free

Staff:

Today is another excellent opportunity for professional development. At 3:45
in my tech. lab at the high school we will be discussing: Open Source
Solutions, aka Good N' Free. It regards how and where to get quality,
copyright-free photos, clip art, video and audio & totally free and CLEAN
(no bugs or viruses) software for most any need. Get what you need and get
it *ethically*. Then expect your students to use these resources.

I've shared this information here and there in my TTT meetings and always
remind staff that we need to remember what we are modeling. What a great way
to be a role model against the "copy/paste" mentality that too often
pervades our students.

Did you know if you copy/paste from google images or any other (major search
engine's image search) that almost always what you're using is copyrighted?
Do you know what "fair-use" really means in terms of what you're expected to
do when you do use copyrighted materials? Maybe today's workshop is for you!

Hope to see you there.
