But creating\, curating\, and delivering the various types of content presents a number of challenges including one often overlooked yet important aspect: copyright law. \nMost curriculum leaders aren’t familiar with the copyright protections of the materials they compile or the circumstances in which their use is allowed. That can lead to inadvertent violations\, which not only jeopardize the curricula built upon them\, but in some cases can also have legal ramifications. The good news is this risk can be easily averted with a cursory understanding of U.S. copyright law and the implications of using and sharing copyrighted information in the classroom. \nIn this edWebinar\, learn how to avoid potential infringement as they develop curriculum materials and: \n\nBe introduced to the purpose and basics of copyright\nGain an understanding of “Exclusive Rights”\nGet clarification on how “Public Domain” applies to certain materials/works\n\nViewers will also receive a new whitepaper that spotlights the work districts are doing to pursue custom content creation and curation. It explores why those districts are venturing into what has historically been uncharted territory and how they are addressing the challenges they find there. \nThis recorded edWebinar will be of interest to K-12 teachers\, librarians\, school and district leaders\, superintendents\, assistant superintendents\, curriculum directors and coordinators (cross-subject and subject-aligned). \n \nAbout the Presenters \nChloe Duchesne is the Educational Services Coordinator at Copyright Clearance Center (CCC). Since joining CCC in 2019\, she has developed an appreciation for the concerns and needs of content users worldwide. Her position in the Education Department allows her to stay up to date on the most current and interesting issues in the industry.

The answer involves engagement\, attention and the neuroscience of learning. In this edWebinar\, global learning expert Dr. Lana Israel shares with you science and data behind music-based learning. Discover ways to sustain student interest—in class and in remote learning environments. Learn how to boost student performance and motivation. Find out how this approach has taken students from failing to passing quizzes in a single web-based session! \nIn the presentation\, Dr. Israel also shares the tenets of active learning she discovered on her personal journey from inquisitive teenager (who pioneered the educational applications of mind mapping) to Harvard/Oxford graduate and beyond. \nIn this time of uncertainty\, student engagement is as important as ever. Learning gaps due to school closures have been compounded by the summer slide. We hope that this edWebinar equips you with innovative ways of supercharging the learning process and starting this school year with fun\, new and exciting options for your students. \nThis recorded edWebinar will be of interest to elementary through high school teachers and school and district leaders. \n \nAbout the Presenters \nDr. Lana Israel is the Founder/CEO of Muzology\, a music-based learning company located in Nashville\, TN.

Dr. Israel is a Harvard and Oxford educated Rhodes Scholar whose scientific research has been cited over 800 times. She has been recognized with numerous awards including a trip to the Nobel Prizes. Prior to founding Muzology\, Dr. Israel pioneered data analytics strategies and worked with global superstars in the music industry. \n \nChris Blue emerged as the Season 12 victor of The Voice on Team Alicia Keys. He captured the hearts of millions with his raw vocal talent\, heartfelt honesty\, and brave vulnerability. His rendition of Bruno Mars’ “24K Magic” and “Take Me To The King” proved show-stopping\, while a duet with Keys on “Diamonds and Pearls” brought the house down. Keys shared some invaluable wisdom with her team member. “Alicia looked at me and said\, ‘Make sure you focus on being in the moment. Don’t try to do anything; BE IT. We’re human ‘beings’ not ‘do-ings.’” That stuck with Chris. “Now\, when I get out there\, I lose myself in that moment.” Following his victory\, Chris inked a deal with Republic Records and entered the studio to work on his forthcoming full-length debut. Drawing on diverse influences he artfully unites Motown\, pop\, and soul into a sound of his own. “The energy you feel\, the message you hear\, and the light you see comes from my faith regardless of the genre.” That honesty builds a lasting connection for Chris Blue. “I want to give the world hope. I want people to walk away with hope in their relationships\, their loved ones\, and themselves. I want them to be inspired.” \n \nAbout the Host \nJoyce Whitby is the president of Innovations4Education. She is a lifelong educator who spent over ten years teaching graduate-level courses in educational technology at Long Island University\, where\, in 1984\, she developed the T.E.A.M. program (Telecommunications\, Education\, and Multimedia).

For perhaps the first time in their careers\, teachers had to figure out how to do all of the things that good teachers do—structure meaningful learning experiences\, differentiate instruction\, assess mastery\, provide feedback to students—remotely. Whether we like it or not\, the odds are that most teachers will find themselves continuing to work in remote or hybrid learning environments this fall. \nIn this edWebinar\, full-time classroom teacher William Ferriter offers three practical tips that teachers can use to make remote learning more meaningful for everyone—parents\, teachers and students alike. PreK-12 teachers and school and district leaders will benefit from viewing this recorded edWebinar. \n \nAbout the Presenter \nWilliam M.
