This dissertation touches on all the corners, and does so in a way that always keeps the student at the focus. It is another example of how technology, even when not used during classroom lessons, improves learning.

This is a good resource for copyright and fair use involving media.

Here is more rules for fair use for all types of media that would be used in the classroom. Things from illustrations, music, text, motions media, etc. all have specific "rules" for what is considered fair use.

This article in particular gives information about the media perspective of all copyright laws for teachers. Here teachers get the insight on all media devices such as music, dvd, and even videos that are shown on youtube. It is always better to be safe than sorry, so one needs to be fully informed of what can be used and how it can be used.

Here is an activity for teachers to become more familiar with the copyright and fair use policies. Would be great for a principal or administrator to give to faculty.

I thought the activity would be great to use also it seemed like an activity that would be fun for students not so much for teachers. The only thing is I was trying to use the link and it wouldnt allow me access to the information.

My school is a large advocate of interactive notebooks. I like them alot for math it makes students have to show ownership for their notes. From this article I enjoyed reading about the vocabulary brief case. I think I will try to modify that idea for math. :)
