Copyright and Fair Use of Technology Guidelines
- Copyright laws govern the use of copyrighted materials. Teachers and students may use copyrighted materials for educational projects and learning activities, but they must follow specific “fair use” guidelines.
- Fair use guidelines strongly advise obtaining permission from copyright owners whenever possible.
- Fair use allows limited use of copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder for purposes such as criticism, parody, news reporting, research and scholarship, and teaching.
