ANY method that helps strengthen the teacher-student-parent triangle is an invaluable resource. 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 guide provides educators with their legal rights of copyright and fair use in the classroom. This is so they are familiar with their limitations and rights as teachers. Many questions or concerns that they may have concerning computers and software, the internet, video, multimedia are addressed in this guide.

Excerpted from "Technology and Learning Magazine," this BRILLIANT article explains Copyright and Fair Use rules. The history teacher in me especially like it because it begins with a historical lesson on the topic! The quiz (with detailed answers) allows teachers to see examples of possible questions they will run in to in their classrooms.

Really helpful and can make us better teachers!

This artlicle about the some recent technologies and copyright. It highlight the use of wikis and blogs and copyright use.

I love quizlet! These teacher- OR student-made online study guides allow students to access material and information anywhere with internet connection. And its use of different methods--flash cards-matching-GAMES!-quizzes--ensures all learning styles are addressed. This article (a thesis) studies and advises on the use of Quizlets.

Interesting idea for convenient and smart teaching!

This article proposes and answers the question of a specific copyright quandary. Today's teachers often use DVDs as teaching aids, yet few of us know how to or even bother with attributing copyright to it. The narrow focus of the article, however, can be taken to heart and expanded to cover related issues.

This article offers detailed tips and ideas on methods for combining the benefits of the age-old social studies project, timelines, with the advantages provided by computer technology. Modernizing old-fashioned-yet-effective classroom assignments is a great idea.

This site gives a very opinionated presentation of a few of the Copyright and Fair Use laws. This is still very interesting!

I agree with the article's main point, that it IS a teacher's responsibility to know, apply, and teach the copyright and fair use rules. I ALSO agree with you, that the rules and policies make performing the job nearly impossible! I feel the pain, personally. In my classrooms, I am sometimes at a loss (and sometimes just bluff my way through it!) on how to explain to a confused student what to do in regards to using a copywritten resource or how to cite a unique source. Thankflly, I have come across a really helpful weapon in the battle against confusion--an e-graphic organizer of sorts compiled by the UT librarians, and available for open use on their website: http://lib.utexas.edu/citations

I realized after reading that article, that I am guilty of copyright.....It's almost like they knew that we watched Toy Story the other day when it was raining, and it was almost time for 5:00 drive-thru.

This article outlines different things done in classrooms that could raise issues of copyright and ways ways to address them. The author also addresses the copyright rights of students and how they should be protected.

This link provides a chart for teachers to use when implementing technology into the classroom. It tells you what you can and cannot do for copyrighted material.

Vocational Education meets Research in the dynamic classroom of Linda Darling-Hammond, 2008. The students are doing the research, teaching and learning. They control their own destiny and they are taking the world by storm! They are not waiting to be taught, they are teaching each other and themselves as teams of researchers. Darling-Hammond, L. (2008). Powerful learning: what we know about teaching for understanding. San Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass.

I read this book and what the author says is really revolutionary. She has students work in teams as researchers and collaborate while doing research separately. She says students are scientists and classroom homework is research. They should be teaching the teachers, she thinks. Especially, they are beyond us in technology knowledge!

This article is about how to properly use educational multimedia. It discusses the guidelines necessary to using it, the limitations, and what sorts of permission is required in order to use it in the classroom. 

Electronic Frontier Foundation's FAQ about fair use.

Best practices policies for uses of various forms of media.

This offers information on frequently asked questions dealing with copyright and fair use laws. It breaks down the questions by categories. Videos, software, internet, etc. 

This is one of the very first articles I came across when looking for my information. It also breaks things down and demonstrates what should be focused on and why. Numbers again play a major part in this article and this article also introduces how youtube can be used. I know that many college coaches now use skype to talk to prospective athletes if they live far.

This article provides a simple overview of copyright laws for educators.

In this article not only does it list all the things that teachers should avoid from doing but it also has information for the students. It list how the classroom can use the internet appropriately without breaking any laws and the reasons why these laws even came about.

This is an interesting article. Since my content area is business education, integrating technology in the classroom is a huge topic. As an educator, I have to know what is legal and illegal. Especially, when communicating copyright laws to the students. I think this article is a useful tool for educators to use in the classroom. I like how the article mentions that the rules that apply to students apply to teachers as well. We as educators have to abide by copyright laws just as students should. I also like the fact that this article outlines the guidelines that educators should follow in the classroom so that they can use as a reference.

Here is another copyright and fair use chart.

I thought that it would come in handy. There is is another reference posted with a chart also, but I think that I like this one the best.

This was a great resourse. It gave me the information I needed in an easy read form. I wish that APA would do something similiar. When information is easy to read it makes it a tool and makes it easier for most people to do right when it comes to rules and laws.
