Copyright

Can I use this in my classroom?

Using things in classrooms and lessons

• Look for a "C" within a circle, which denotes a copyright
• If you see TWO Cs within a circle, that signifies that its free to use, and is coming from "Creative Commons"

I looked, and saw a copyright symbol...now what?

It's copyrighted, so...

• The best thing to do is contact the owner, asking permission
• If they give it, GREAT! Use it!
• No dice? Sorry, Charlie...make your own, or look elsewhere...

But I'm a teacher, and it's for EDUCATION! So it's FAIR to USE it, right?

Fair Use

• AFTER your attempt to contact the creator fails, see if it qualifies...
• 1. Did you transform the original?
• 2. Is it factual, creative, or consumable?
• 3. Did you only use the amount necessary?
• 4. Are you taking someone's profits?
