Copyright, Fair Use, Intellectual Property & for Educators

 

Teachers, principals, and students all need to understand not only the basics of US copyright law as they relate to the creation and publication of media products, but also the opportunities presented for LEGAL remixing and reuse of media materials licensed through Creative Commons. This session presents practical suggestions for schools, educators, and students to avoid intellectual property liability problems and empower learners to LEGALLY create as well as share a wide variety of media/knowledge products on the global stage. We will focus specifically on fair use provisions of US copyright law and address common misperceptions about fair use which often inhibit/chill legal educational uses of multimedia materials.

 

I am not a lawyer, so for legal advice you should consult one and not me. Educators need to know about these issues, however, and so do students. The facts and resources discussed here may surprise you. If you use them, they're almost certain to empower you!
