This article is more "user friendly" than reading the copyright law. It also includes a section about liablility for the district and the teacher.

This article gives more information on how educators can use the internet and not break any rules while doing so. Educators are always looking for new ways to help educate their students and many times use the internet for it, so here they can see how to protect themselves from getting into any trouble. Plus we our teaching in the 21st century which requires teachers to be more technology savvy and incorporate technology in their classrooms.

This article provides general information about copyright and fair use laws in relation to academic settings.

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.

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 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.

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

This is a good video for students to learn about copyright.

I was just saying I wish I was educated on copyright and fairuse when I was in school, I am glad they have something for the babies to learn. This will be beneficial to them now because they are using technology more and more .

I also saw this website. I thought that it would be a good educational tool to use in the classroom.

A New York lawyer gives his interpretation of fair use. He summarizes the basics of copyright and fair use. He writes an opinion on when to ask permission to use something, and he discusses safe havens in fair use laws.

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.

Guidelines for the use of copyrighted material in the classroom.

Brandi, this is a great article on implications for educators. The ABC rule is something that I think should be used in the classroom. My students use the internet in my class on a daily basis because all my classes are in a computer lab. Educators that utilize the ABC guidelines are practicing the proper copyright laws for both students and teachers. Sometimes my students have difficulty writing definitions in their own words, so they think that they can copy and paste from the internet. Well I make them rewrite the definitions that I can tell that have been copied and pasted. They think that I am being mean by making them rewrite them, but in all reality, I am teaching them that plagiarism is not acceptable on any level even when writing vocabulary words.

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

This article discusses the use of images in and educational institution. It discusses fair use limitations and the guidelines that must be followed when using images in the classroom. 

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 website is the "law" version of copyright and fair use. I felt it was a good resource because sometimes it is better to see the law rather than an interpretation. It is broken down it to catergories. If you just wanted to know the law about music, you can see what the law is pertaining to that area.

This article give the four factors and possibly a fifth factor used to resolve fair use disputes. It also includes information about acknowledgement and too small amount use.

The easier the article to read the easier it is to understand. This article gets to the point and helps teachers focus on what it is they need to know and what to do.

The article outlines how the term fair use has changed over the past 20 years and the need for what it means to be re-defined. The writer compares previous cases of fair use with those of today. Since 2005, most cases have been favored to those fair use accusations were presented against. With fair use being unpredictable and confusing, the writer attempts to show how the definition of fair use is changing and needs modificaiton.
