Teachers need a great deal of motivation when it comes to implementing technology in the classroom in front of his or her student because as all we know "the best teachers are the model of the students", even if their are different kinds of obstacles they will be facing.
OBSTACLES IN EDUCATION
Uncertain or Unfavorable Copyright Law
economic or social forces play a greater role in shaping practices. In studying educational use of content, however, the law is the natural starting point: all of those other forces operate in the shadow of copyright law. Copyright single-handedly creates the monopolies that underpin economic interests in this area, and it profoundly shapes norms and institutional practices concerning the use of content.
Educational Use Exceptions
While the fair use doctrines the centerpiece of copyright exceptions applicable to digital learning, there are several narrower provisions intended to benefit educational uses of content. In general, their specificity provides clear protection for those activities that fall within their confines. That same specificity often makes these exceptions narrow and bound to particular technology, however.
The Classroom Use Exception
The most straightforward educational use exception is the classroom use exception, found in section 110(1) of the Copyright Act. Under this provision, the following activity is exempt from any copyright liability:
performance or display of a work by instructors or pupils in the course of face-to-face teaching activities of a nonprofit educational institution, in a classroom or similar place devoted to instruction, unless, in the case of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, the performance, or the display of individual images, is given by means of a copy that was not lawfully made under this title, and that the person responsible for the performance knew or had reason to believe was not lawfully made;
The TEACH Act
The Technology, represents an attempt by Congress to update educational use exemptions in light of new technological realities.In its final form, the new provision for distance learning did provide some limited additional protection for educators operating in a digital environment: it expanded the types of content that could be used; it allowed the digitization and short-term retention of content that the internet and similar technology require; and it eliminated a provision that generally required students to be physically present in the same location. However, a number of stipulations sought by rights holders were also incorporated in the statute. In combination, these restrictions so limit the reach of the TEACH Act, and make it so difficult for educators to comply with its requirements, that most observers believe the exception from liability it offers has little or no value.
Library and Archives Exceptions
libraries or archives may make limited copies of content in their collections for purposes of preservation or to replace damaged or lost copies of works.As this long list of deficiencies makes clear, The prospects of any recommended statutory changes remain unclear at this time it may serve as a model for other legislative initiatives aimed at facilitating educational use of content.
Public Broadcasting Exceptions
As explained in more detail several provisions of sections provide targeted provisions for the benefit of public broadcasting.The somewhat complex arrangements apply to nondramatic musical works and published pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works.Most of the intermediaries that negotiate rights for this content, spurred by the existence of the compulsory license, have reached separate agreements with PBS and its affiliates governing the use of content. However, as public broadcasters distribute their content in newer digital formats, from DVDs to internet streaming, statutory provisions keyed solely to traditional over-the-air broadcast may be rendered essentially useless.
