COPYRIGHT

Welcome to Top Teaching Tools!




The Most Common Copyright Violations in order of Not-So-Bad to Really Bad:

  • Seeing my lessons recreated on other blogs without a link or even a mention about who or what inspired the lesson.    Just take a few minutes to acknowledge that the lesson or resource was inspired by TTT . 
  • My paid for resources placed in published documents.  Generally, copying any part of my books into another published document is against my copyright rules. You could however, write to me and ask permission to include a part in a document you are creating for school, etc. Often the best thing is to just reference TTT or provide a link to my page.
  • My PDF Resources are made available on School and District websites for other teachers in their school districts to use. There is nothing to say about this other than you can’t do this. My resources are meant for single use and although I know teachers might share, it is just illegal. One solution - if a school buys an annual  subscription to my site then all staff can log in and access the resources.  This way, schools have a system in place to do the right thing.

Please remember that you as a single purchaser can:
  • Use my resource (free or paid, PDF or book) with your pupils. If you post on a blog, published PDF, etc. just cite my website. That’s it. Easy!
  • If you bought a PDF, you can publish the results of your student’s efforts on your blog, but don’t include handouts or any of my instructions/text/dialogue. Like your English teacher used to say, use your own words.
  • You can use my photos from my blog, but you should ask first. Most of the time, you only have to ask once.
  • You can make a powerpoint or video of your interpretation of my lesson (but you can’t use my photos, handouts or text)
  • You can tell your colleagues about my PDF’s so they can choose their own and perhaps you can share. One or two teachers sharing is absolutely fine. A dozen teachers? You know the answer.
  • Use my art lessons or special technique to create your own lesson…no attributions necessary. I’m inspired all the time by a subject, technique or artists and I create my own lessons based on these things. If the inspiration directly comes from a source, I try to always site it. I say “try” because in my early years of blogging, I didn’t always know to do this.
  • If you are a studio owner or teach classes to children for profit, you can still use my lesson plans (free and paid). You just can’t repackage them and sell them.
Does this help? Remember, if you are ever in doubt about copyright violation, write to me or the person who owns the blog. In this growing industry of free resources, you have to remember that someone made the first effort to create something worth sharing. If you want them to continue to share, just ask when in doubt.
