WOW Wednesday – Fair Dealing Week CONTEST

On Wednesdays I highlight some of our amazing MVSD staff on our social media pages. With it being Fair Dealing Week, I want to encourage staff to familiarize themselves with some of the resources our PD Resource Centre puts out regarding copyright.

I want you to sit back….. close your eyes… and visualize your copy room. I know, the perfect destination. Whether you realize it or not, this room most likely plays host to a display about copyright. Thanks to Sharon, at the PD Resource Centre, this information is in all schools to assist with understanding of Fair Dealing, copyright, intellectual property rights, and more!

This year we want to draw attention to these resources with a contest! Find these displays in your school, snap a selfie, and share it with us on your social media platform of choice. A winner will be randomly selected from all participating posts with a prize being sent out tomorrow!

If you want to learn more about this topic, Sharon has also made sure to:

• place applicable copyright information on the MVSD Library page for easy access by staff/students
• add resources to our libraries surrounding copyright (appropriate titles available for both staff and students)
• summarized important copyright information to be utilized when preparing for remote learning (scanning resources and posting online, book read alouds, etc)
• worked with teachers and schools as a point person during the Access Copyright procedure
