Look for Copyright Free/Royalty Free content and be sure to cite Example of [|Copyright Free Music Site]


 * In this digital age it is our RESPONSIBILITY as EDUCATORS to both instruct our students** - through direct-instruction and properly defined rubric requirements - **and ourselves in copyright and fair-use** as it applies to educational practices. **It is OUR responsibility to protect ourselves, our students and the district from copyright infringment.**

__Copyright is LAW__
Fair-Use is a clarification of educational uses permitting unlicensed use of protected material, UNDER VERY SPECIFIC CONDITIONS

Before publishing ANY student works on-line, please be sure you are in compliance with District Policy (refer to your district Acceptable Use Policy ) and **Federal [|COPPA] Laws [|CIPA]**
 * District Policy / Federal Law**


 * When in doubt, request permission, have your students do the same, keep all records, even if responses were not received. Conduct due diligence, good faith efforts adn sound record keeping OR do not use protected material. **


 * Always cite sources**, date accessed, website. **Don't accept student work without** accurate and complete **citations**

Classroom Fair Use in-a-nutshell: Can you and your students answer YES to the following 2 questions?
 * MUST be part of the lesson plan and 'directly' related to course curriculum and referenced in the daily lesson plan of record
 * MUST be delivered by the classroom instructor or the clssroom students
 * Can ONLY be used with and for regular classroom of students
 * Must **TRANSFORM** the work
 * Must be for a **different purpose** (message) than the original intent of the work

• Did the **unlicensed use “transform” the material** taken from the copyrighted work by using it **for a different purpose than that of the original**, or did it just repeat the work for the same intent and value as the original? • Was the material taken appropriate in kind and amount, considering the nature of the copyrighted work and of the use? If the answers to these two questions are “yes,” a court is likely to find a use fair. Because that is true, such a use is unlikely to be challenged in the first place.

Examples: - **Music, Video or digital images** used as part of a students project, must add meaningfully and relevantly to the message of the project. If it does not, it is not protected. Project is for classroom use only and is not repeated, copied, replicated in other environments outside of scope of lesson
