Copyright law vs. Fair Use law - Copyright protects use of images.
- Fair Use allows copyrighted materials to be used without permission under certain limits.
Using an image, sound clip or video in a “face-to-face” learning situation is fine, but reposting to the Web is illegal without proper permission. The safest way to use materials is to make your own.
However, any images of students or their work should be used only after parents have signed a permission slip and the technology coordinator or administration of the school has approved their use. It is extremely important to remember never to post students' names with photos. The teacher and students use digital images in the classroom and understanding the laws regulating their use is important.
