Misconceptions about Fair Use

Hi everyone,

In this post, I'd like to note two misconceptions about fair use. Fair use allows us to use copyrighted materials without permission or payment under certain circumstances (e.g., teaching, research, parody).


However, you should still give credit to the copyright holder under fair use. Even when you use copyrighted material for educational purposes, let's say for your school assignment, you still have to give full credit to the person who created it by citing the work, including the creator's name, adding a link to the original page, etc.


Furthermore, copyrighted content should only be used as part of your work. It may be considered fair use if you utilize a few relevant photographs to support your arguments in a presentation. However, using the same photographs in a presentation with only a few lines of text may not be considered fair use, even if you gave proper credit.

Welcome to the class blog! (Blog journal #1 example)

Welcome to the EME2040 class blog!

My name is Daeun (Da-eun). I'm a third-year PhD student at Florida State University in the Instructional Systems and Learning Technologies program. I live in Tallahassee with three roommates. I grew up in a tiny rural area of Korea, where I had encountered inequity issues in educational settings.  My current goal as a researcher is to use appropriate technology to address educational inequity issues.

I've used a variety of technology in educational contexts. One of the graduate classes I took in Korea required us to take a Kahoot quiz at the beginning of each class meeting to check student attendance. In another class, I collaborated with my classmates to develop a Wiki page about a topic. Here at FSU, I utilized Flipgrid to record my introduction video, Voicethread to present my assignment, and blog posts to reflect on course contents. I've utilized a variety of technologies, and I've found the majority of them to be effective, interesting, and appealing. I hope that by taking this course, you will become more familiar with a variety of technologies and look for new ways to use them in your own classroom and in other contexts in your career.

As for my PLN, as a doctoral student, I follow #phdchat on Instagram to learn about other grad students' productivity tips, stress management strategies, and so on. I also follow numerous current PhD students' YouTube channels. On Reddit, I occasionally visit r/PhD. I'm in several Slack channels for my research projects, where I interact asynchronously with my colleagues. I also "meet" my colleagues online and in person for study group meetings (mainly online these days). My PLN has helped me adjust to graduate school life and has encouraged me to continue on this path.

I hope you're doing well and making the most of the course! :)
