Do you have any links you could share that could help me get a grasp on fair use in my classroom?
One of the reasons I jumped to Creative Commons-licensed materials is because (for some reason) I thought that we could get in trouble in regard to fair use if the students posted their projects online. I thought fair use only applied <b>in</b> the classroom and that once what we were doing left the classroom, we would need permission -- whether in the form of explicit permission from creators of copyrighted material or via CC licenses.
I'm definitely here to learn, so I'd enjoy any information you can give me about what I should be teaching my students in regard to fair use.
I appreciate it. I will start digging through that with my students.
