One can refrain for violating the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA) and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ( TCPA) by becoming familiar with the content of these acts and following the guidelines which they Intel. The basic educator guidelines for FERPA discussed in the lesson is a great way to start. It tells us not to share grades in emails and not to share student information with anyone who is not the student of the parent. This means that if someone who is not listed as the student or parent has a question about the student we can not answer. We have to keep their information private. We want to keep in mind that parents and students have rights to the educational records. If a numerical grade needs to be discussed, a phone call is recommended. The summary for TCPA lets educators know that they should not use automatic dialing or prerecorded messages without getting consent from the parent before hand unless there is an emergency. Keeping these in mind can help us to comply withe FERPA and TCPA guidelines when we communicate with parents, students, and stakeholders.
What methods could be employed to verify that copyright is not being violated?
From the lesson, I find that one must ask permission. We can not rely on the information to have a copyright symbol. The video copyright basics explained that intellectual property is protected. So, to be safe one should ask for permission before using, printing, or distributing words, images, and videos. Verity that what one retrieves from the internet is not illegal to use. Students and teachers can use online resources such as turnitin.com to help ensure that copyright is not being violated.
Does copyright require that all work, images, words, and graphics must be original?
Copyright protects the work, images, words, and graphics in any form. An example was given that if one writes a book the information is protected by copyright law and therefore a movie can not be made about the book with out permission. There is also trademark protection for words, phases, and symbols.
