The Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education -- Publications -- Center for Social Media at American University

This document is a code of best practices that helps educators using media literacy concepts and techniques to interpret the copyright doctrine of fair use. Fair use is the right to use copyrighted material without permission or payment under some circumstances—especially when the cultural or social benefits of the use are predominant. It is a general right that applies even in situations where the law provides no specific authorization for the use in question—as it does for certain narrowly defined classroom activities.

Digital Glyphs: Imaging Ideas in a Visual World

  • The Visual Literacy
    Challenge


    Just as we learn how to read text, we need to
    learn how to read pictures. Students need skills and
    strategies for reading, interpreting, using, applying,
    designing, composing, and creating visuals from line
    drawings to color photographs.
  • Reading Visuals. When
    you read a visual, you need to look for
    clues in the parts and whole of the
    picture. You try to identify the subject,
    plot, and setting.

  • Photography in general, and digital photography in particular, also may have an important role to play in facilitating children’s literacy experiences. Photographs are present in many school displays (Labbo, Montero, & Eakle, 2001, online document) -- for example, in the form of images of a teacher or student of the week, snapshots of class speakers, images downloaded from the Internet for a report, or class photo essays of field trips. Photography has also been successfully used as an enhancement to the curriculum and to promote effective home-school connections (Allen et al., in press). Nash (1982) reminds us that the Polaroid Education Project provided teachers with opportunities to better understand the world views of their students. Other work suggests that middle school students’ writing improves when photographs are included as an integral component of essays (Sinatra, Beadry, Stahl-Gemake, & Guastello, 1990).

  • "The main issue teachers need to be aware of when using digital cameras with students is the risk of damage to the camera," Miller pointed out. "Digital cameras are still relatively expensive, so students must be taught proper handling and safety rules when using the camera. I do one-on-one training sessions with students to ensure that they understand how to handle the camera. Then, when students 'pass' the required training and demonstrate knowledge of the careful handling rules, I take their picture and issue an 'Official Photographer' pass with the student's picture on the front and the rules on the back. Whenever a student is to use the camera, he or she must show the pass (just like a photographer for a newspaper or other press)."
  • "The second most important issue to remember is ensuring that students take appropriate
    photographs," Miller added. "The ease of using a digital camera allows students to snap many nonsense pictures. Plan on spending some time going over basic photography rules with students and explaining how to frame or set up a picture before it's taken. Some casual snapshots are okay and encouraged, but they need to be aware that some are inappropriate and to be able to judge for themselves what they should or should not photograph. You should also teach students to be choosy about the pictures they choose to print. Although paper and ink are less expensive than the cost of buying film and developing regular pictures, students still can't be wasteful."
