Educational Fair Use

3 Rules of Thumb

  1. If you did not personally create what you are working with, go ahead and assume that it's copyrighted.

  2. If your use of the work will result in profit, distribution, or personal gain you should always get permission to use it first.

  3. If the work is not being recreated or used outside a school class, you are typically safe but it is always best to have the original resource cited and available.
