Copyright+and+Fair+Use



An introduction: Copyright law has been around for generations but just recently has been tested more and more due to the internet and the free sharing of resources. Many educators believe that under Fair Use anything may copied for educational usage or archival purposes but this is **false! Copying a whole book because you don't have enough copies is breaking copyright! Copying someone else's teacher resource books so you don't have to buy one is breaking copyright! (If you think you already understand all of this take the quiz to find out if you really do!)** We, the Educational Technology Integration Specialists of District 60 do not take any credit for these resources. Our job is to bring you the resources you need to learn. There are links to all of the material within the wiki. //This is an important National Educational Technology Standard for both teachers and students.// NETS - S 5.

Fair Use: The Fair Use sections of the copyright law do entitle educators to some leeway, but NOT copying a whole book this is AGAINST copyright! (unless the license specifically allows for copies).
