Fair Dealing Week 2021
Every Monday I share a different ed tech quote on our Thompson Classroom social media pages for our staff to consider.
February 22nd kicks off Fair Dealing Week 2021 which runs today through to February 26th. The Fair Dealing Canada website describes this legislation as follows:
“Fair dealing recognizes that certain uses of copyright protected works are beneficial for society. By placing limits on instances where copyright owners can require payment, fair dealing leads innovation, to the creation of new works and new scholarship. The Supreme Court of Canada increasingly refers to copyright as providing a balance between the rights of users and of copyright owners.”

I was first introduced to this event by David Wall (see shared Tweet) and decided to help bring awareness to this topic by theming my social media posts to align with the event. To start off the week I decided to highlight how the Manitoba Literacy with ICT Continuum (LwICT) includes a focus on this topic as part of their, “ethics and responsibilities guidelines”. If you are not familiar with the LwICT continuum I invite you to check out these posts that have been shared previously:
- Tech Tip Tuesday – Literacy with ICT
- Digital Literacy and the ICT Curriculum
- Challenges in Developing Student Digital Literacy Skills
Stay tuned through the week for more information about Fair Dealings Week, including tech tips, MVSD supports, and more!
