Copyright and Fair Use
The Educator's Guide to Copyright and Fair Use
When it
comes to copyright law and the application of fair use exceptions, ignorance is
definitely not bliss! Learn how to educate yourselves and your students and
avoid making a costly mistake!
You really did plan to
find time over the summer to familiarize yourself with the latest information
on copyright law. You absolutely intended to look up the fair use guidelines for
using technology resources. You truly meant to create a classroom copyright
policy, locate agencies that grant permissions to use copyrighted materials,
write a template for a permission request form, and locate sites to teach
students about the value of original work and the societal benefits of obeying
copyright laws. You just had a few other things to do.
So now you have a student who
wants to include audio of a Beatles song in a multimedia presentation about the
1960s, another who wants to include the poem "Casey at the Bat" in a
report on the World Series, and a third who wants to post photographs of Biden
and Obama to the class Web site.
What's an educator to do? Read Education
World's five-part series on copyright, fair use, and new technologies, that's
what! We did the work so you wouldn't have to!
