Lesson video

In progress...

Hello everybody.

My name is Mrs. Franzsen.

Welcome to Computing.

It's really great to have you here.

Let's get started with this lesson.

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to consider the ownership and copyright of images when searching for images online.

Let's go through our keywords for today.

Our first keyword for today is copyright.

Our next keyword is fair use.

Fair use allows the use of copyright content under certain circumstances.

The next keyword is Creative Commons licence.

The Creative Commons licence allows creators to share and use content while respecting copyright.

In the first part of the lesson, we will look at the terms copyright free and fair use.

Where do you get pictures from online? You can pause the video to have a think about this, or if you've got people with you, you might want to have a short discussion about where you get your pictures from online.

Sofia says, "I use a search engine to find images." Lucas says, "I use a website that has stock images." Do you know what the terms copyright and fair use mean? These are in our keywords for today.

It is very easy to copy, change, and download content from the internet.

It also protects the work of others.

True or false, it is okay to use any image that you find on the internet? Pause the video here and think about this question.

The answer is, false.

Why? If you want to use an image from the internet, you should check whether or not it is copyright free.

If it is not, you should ask for permission from the person who created it, give them credit, or buy the image.

Well done if you got that one right.

Let's do another check here.

Fill in the blank to complete the sentence.

Blank protects the control you have over the things that you create.

It also protects the work of others.

Pause the video to have a think about this question.

Let's have a look at the answer here.

It also protects the work of others.

Well done if you got that one right.

If you want to use someone else's work, you should, ask for their permission, give them credit, buy it if it has a cost attached.

For example, from an online resource library.

Sometimes it is possible to copy part of someone's work.

For example, if you are using part of someone's content like a picture for your schoolwork, then that's okay.

School children are not expected to pay for images they find online.

This is called fair use.

That's one of our keywords for today.

But you have to remember, you can only use part of the work.

You can't make money from it.

It needs to look completely different in your piece of work than in the original piece, and you should credit the owner.

Okay, it's time to do a task now.

I want you to read through the scenarios and decide whether they comply with copyright law or not.

Here is the first one.

Laura is doing a project on the Second World War.

She finds a picture on the BBC website that she would like to use in her work.

She copies the picture and adds it to a poster she is making all about the Second World War.

Laura says, "The picture was easy to copy from the website, so what's the issue?" The second one says, "Sofia has found a picture on a website that would be perfect to include in her art homework.

She selects part of the image, adds filters, chops up the image into pieces, and places it back together in the wrong order.

She hands the image into her teacher as a piece of modern art with a small credit to the owner of the original image at the bottom".

Sofia says, "It's fine, I'm allowed".

The third scenario reads, "Jacob has found a piece of music online that he would like to use as a soundtrack to one of his videos he's making in class.

He can't download it in school, so his dad helps him save the track at home so that he can use it in school".

Jacob said, "Dad knew how to download the track off YouTube, and it was really easy." It's time to go and work on this task now.

You can pause the video here and when you get back, we can go through the answers.

Welcome back.

Let's go through the scenarios and decide if they comply with copyright law or not.

The first scenario was Laura, and her project on the Second World War.

The answer is, you should not copy images that you find when searching online, unless you have completed the significant checks.

If Laura does decide to use the image, she should acknowledge that it has come from the BBC and quote the web link.

In the second example, it is Sofia remixing the picture that she found and giving it a small credit.

This is a piece of schoolwork.

Sofia has edited the piece in such a way to make it look completely different.

This is fair use of the picture.

In the third example, Jacob had found and downloaded a piece of music from YouTube to use in class.

You shouldn't download music from YouTube unless it says you can, or you have completed all the relevant checks.

Well done for your hard work during that task.

In the second part of the lesson, we will be looking at finding and saving copyright free images.

When searching for images, it is important to consider the search terms that you use.

When we search, we usually put our terms into a search bar like the one in the picture that says, "Enter your image search terms." What search terms would you use to find images of zoo animals? You can pause the video here to have a think about that.

Jun says, "I would type in, photos of zoo animals." More accurate search terms will lead to more appropriate results.

If you want to find realistic images of tiger cubs, what would be the most suitable search term? Would it be A, tiger cub clip art, B, tiger photographs, or C, tiger cub photographs? Pause the video here to have a think about your answer.

Let's look at the answer.

If you wanted to find realistic images of tiger cubs, C, tiger cub photographs would be the most suitable search term.

Well done if you got that one right.

Some search engines allow you to search for images based on licence.

If you click on the tools in this search engine, you can filter images by usage rights.

Here, the search has been restricted to only return images that are covered by a Creative Commons licence.

Creative Commons licences allow creators to share and use content while respecting copyright.

A Creative Commons licence allows creators to give permission for others to use their work, while specifying particular requirements.

For example, the image can be used, but it must be attributed.

Another alternative is to use a royalty free stock image site.

Some options include pixabay.

com, pexels.

com, and commons.

wikimedia.

org.

Once you have found a copyright free or Creative Commons image that you would like to use, follow these steps to download and save it to your device.

Let's do a check here.

Fill the gap to complete the sentence.

Blank allow creators to share and use content while respecting copyright.

Pause the video here to think about your answer.

Let's look at the answer here.

Creative Commons licences allow creators to share and use content while respecting copyright.

Well done if you got that one right.

It is time for another task now.

Search for and save copyright free or Creative Commons images for your website.

Remember to save them in a sensible location with a sensible name so you can find them easily later.

Let's summarise our learning from today's lesson.

It is very easy to copy, change, or download content from the internet, but this doesn't make it okay.

It also protects the work of others.

When finding and saving images from the internet, you should try and find copyright free images or images covered by a Creative Commons licence.

Thank you for joining me in this lesson today, and I hope to see you again soon.
