Using Lesson Plans - Doing the Right Thing
|
After our discussion Last week about asking permission or giving credit for using another person's lesson plan, I wanted to share an email I received as it is an excellent example of what to do.
Peggy,
I ran across your webquest yesterday. I have been working with some school districts within our Area Education Agency (AEA) in Iowa on constructing an 8th grade assessment for technology for NCLB. In looking for integrated activities with technology, I found that your webquest was a good fit for what we were looking for right now. I wanted to inform you of what we were doing, and I also was wondering if we could make a copy of your webquest to have available for schools in case something happens to the server that it is sitting on currently. I also want to make an additional rubric to score some of the tech components a little differently to meet our needs more specifically.
Is making a copy on hand as a backup for our school districts okay with you? Could I make any changes to the evaluation piece, or would you prefer that I just have a separate handout that would replace your section or be in addition to it? Thank you for your consideration. There are many schools working to constructively evaluate technology within a context instead of isolating it. Your efforts will greatly help in this process and be assured that credit will be given for your work you have put into this webquest no matter what form we are able to use it in.
Thanks again, and I look forward to hearing from you.

It was great for me to hear from him and to know that others are using my lesson, plus I responded to him and told him he could adapt the assessment to meet his needs and put it on his server. Most educators are more than willing to share their work when they know it will benefit other students, as that is what we are all about.
So, think ethically, ask for permission and give credit where credit is due!
