Understanding
Copyright
& Fair Use

Picture
In the emergent digital participatory culture with easy access to copyrighted materials, students need to understand copyright and fair use policy when they create their own media content.

When and how can you use a video clip from YouTube or a scene from a Hollywood movie or an image from an ad or a verse from a popular song?  Where can you post or distribute your creative work?

Check out these resources to help determine how copyright and fair use apply to student-created work:
