RE: The Impact of Copyright and Fair Use on Education

Copyright and Fair Use is widely dealt with in the education field. Many items
we use in the classrooms are copyright items to use for the purpose of
teaching our students. It is never a good idea to take credit of an item that
was produced from another author. It seems tempting to get ideas from
others and use them to your benefit, but always give them the correct
acknowledgement they deserve for their work.
Fair use is a little trickier, but can be used as a guide to follow for educational
purposes. Using someone elses works like making copies or reproducing
someone elses work to teach your students, should be for the learning
process only and not to recreate and sell.

RE: The Impact of Copyright and Fair Use on Education
I agree with all of you. Looking at what is considered a copyright infringement and what is
considered fair use or not fair at all, makes me rethink and realize that you need to do your
homework when preparing to teach your class. I would definitely want to make sure that the
proper permissions are being used before ever using any authors work of art.

RE: Copyright and Fair Use
That is so true Amanda. To try and contact an author for such use would almost make you ask if
you should be teaching such a topic. Very strange that they would put such a stipulation on just
making copies. But as I have seen in previous comments, if your only making copies for said

students in the classroom and none more I don't see how there would be a problem since you are
using it for educational purposes.
