Terms of use of buzzle.com
|

Dear colleagues, I �ve just learnt that buzzle.com (a very useful website which has loads of articles on a variety of topics) doesn �t allow using any materials from their website, not even if adapted, not even if for non-profit use, especially redestribute, upload or republish. You can only make a copy for personal use:( That is such a pity that those fantabulous articles can �t be used for educational, non-commercial purposes! I just thought I should alert those of you who use buzzle.com in the wss to this fact. So, I had to remove my "Mass Media" reading activity. Sophia

Sophia, we must be able to use this stuff with our own ss? If not, then I agree with lyny and I won �t waste my time. I accept about republishing etc, but they must realise people use their stuff in class? How are they going to check anyway?
Edit: Are we allowed to upload ws featuring pictures which state �may be reproduced for classroom use only�? Lynne

Yes, Lynne, I think you can use them in class or get your students to read the articles online and base activities on them, but we can �t share those materials here.As to the pictures, I try to use those that are public domain or are allowed to be reposted on the Internet with the link to credit the source, however, I might misinterpret what they have in the terms of use sometimes and see it as fair use:) Sophia |

Great site Sophia. I didn �t know about Buzzle and I �ve just spent my lunch break surfing it. I particularly liked the Funny Witty Short Sayings, esp. the ones about the good listener and the St Bernard - lol
Cheers

I didn �t know it, either. Isn �t it great? Love the funny sayings - I like the one about only one person knowing what �s going on in the organisation - that person must be found and fired.  |
