9. WHEN COPYRIGHT MEETS THE CLASSROOM Question If I create a PowerPoint for use in my classroom, can I protect myself from copyright infringement by simply adding the URL of the site in which I found the document at the bottom of the page? Answer The very short answer is that copyright is complicated. For educators, though, there are some basic things to know and guidelines to follow that make it less scary. Citing your sources is always a good idea. Beyond crediting your source, you are modeling a key skill for students: always pay attention to the source of information, primary and secondary. http://teachinghistory.org/digital-classroom/ask-a-digital-historian/24710

10. WHEN COPYRIGHT MEETS THE CLASSROOM CONTINUED Fair Use Fair use is an educator's best friend. Start with the official policy on fair use to learn more about copyright and classroom use.official policy on fair use Materials in the public domain, or no longer covered by copyright restrictions, are also valuable to teaching. Learn more at Beyond Google Searching on copyright and searching for resources in the public domain.Beyond Google Searching Generally speaking, if you are using a copyrighted item for educational purposes with no financial gain, you're off to a good start for fair use. That said, if you plan to make the PowerPoint available in any other way (such as online for students to download), it is more complicated. One of our blog entries, "Copyright: Finding Images to Tell the Story of History," offers links to a wide variety of resources for examining copyright, as well as for introducing your students to the concept. Don't be deterred by the fact that this post focuses on image copyright. There's still a wealth of relevant information!Copyright: Finding Images to Tell the Story of History http://teachinghistory.org/digital-classroom/ask-a-digital-historian/24710
