Fair Use
Allows the use of copyrighted
guidelines?
Scenario 3: Ms. Austin assigns a food web poster project to her 7th grade
class. Many of her students ask to print pictures from the Internet to put
on their posters. She allows this because she understands copyright and
fair use laws. What must the students do to use the images fairly?
No, this is not fair use of the image because it exceeds the use
necessary for any intended educational purpose since it is for
entertainment, and is highly creative. This is a copyright and fair use
violation.
Scenario 2: This is acceptable use of the images. The teacher uses a small
portion of the images to demonstrate a specific questioning skill in the
curriculum. The photos solicits thought by her students. Also, it is a nonconsumable work that is only available inside her classroom.
Scenario 1:
The students must use fewer than five images from a single
photographer. Students should print images directly from the Internet to
include and display source and reference information on their project. If
students copy-and-paste the image into a document for printing, this may
be a violation of fair use.
