“When it comes to copyright law and the application of fair use exceptions, ignorance is definitely not bliss!” Education World ®, shtml

Any graphic found on the internet is okay for teachers to copy for use on curricular material. A music clip can be used in a presentation if the clip is limited to no more than 30 seconds or 10% of the song, whichever is less.

When in doubt about the copyright status of something you or a student wants to use, you should: 1.it and hope for the best 2.use it in the classroom but do not post it on the school web site 3.ask permission before you use it

“Most educators would agree that student in today’s schools should emerge from high school with the ability to apply 21 st century knowledge and skills.” ISTE, 2007

“Yet the concern over ‘how’ to integrate this new curriculum approach into classroom instruction can be somewhat daunting to new and often even more so experienced (educators).” ISTE, /webcrit.html
