Many would agree, that in order to encourage learning there are several guidelines to follow. These include, meeting the student where they are, providing purpose, engaging students in the subject, and providing resources for learning. The article in Tech&Learning (http://www.techlearning.com/article/right-to-copy/43232) reminded me that these same guidelines will apply when keeping others aware of copyright laws. The article gave quite a few practical tips and guidelines for promoting copyright awareness in the school. It was especially nice that tips were given for educating teachers on the subject, but also ways to help motivate teachers to pass on their new knowledge about copyright onto their students.
Just as collaboration between the SLMS and the teacher can result in engaging lessons, the pairing on the SLMS and teacher can result in making all students more conscientious of their use of information because teachers will be informed and can reinforce the importance of obeying copyright laws. The SLMS has an important task when it comes to educating both students and teachers on copyright and how they can use information and technology while still obeying the law.
