Subject: Videos and Copyright
I too sent out an email two weeks ago reminding teachers and aides that
all videos have to be involved with direct instruction.
I have had some success. One teacher who had been our biggest violator
now plans pre-viewing and post-viewing activities for all videos and
they are all directly related to the curriculum.
At the beginning of this school year our principal asked the teachers
for a list of videos they planned to show and why. These also have to
be reflected in the lesson plans. When he walks the halls if he sees a
video that he knows wasn't on the list or in the lesson plans he'll go
in and ask, "What are we teaching today?" (He has the personality that
allows this to come off as nice, not nasty.) It has cut down
dramatically on the use of videos.
Each year the principal and I discuss a license for videos. My concern
is that the teachers will take this as permission to show more videos
rather than being in compliance with the law.
Bene e Pace (Blessings and Peace),
