This weeks module for ETL503 – Resourcing the Curriculum, takes us into an in-depth look at the legal and ethical issues around copyright in the context of a school. Initially this is not something I had thought to be a part of the roles and responsibilities of a Teacher Librarian, however after reading more into the licensing and restrictions on copyright and Creative Commons licences it is clear that this is something I will need to adapt into my future role. The main source of information provided was through the Smart Copying Site (see link below) which provides the offical guide to copy right issues for Australian schools and TAFE. This will be an invaluable resource to take forward into my degree and profession.
The image above presents a native Australian Bee; a Trichocolletes sp as it feeds upon a Daviesia Cordata flower. There is no purpose for this image other than it was something I found when searching for images with a CC licence. Sourced through the Flickr website I was able to limit my search to only include images with a CC licence. From there I was able to select an image and look into the further licensing. This image is classified as CC Attribution 2.0, meaning it is free to copy and distribute provided appropriate credit.
