Mrs. Fuddyduddy spent her summer by the pool watching her kids swim and reading all about blended learning. She's excited to rewrite some of her lessons and increase engagement. She also knows that if she doesn't get it done now, she won't have time once the kids arrive and the school year is in full swing! Help Mrs. Fuddyduddy learn about fair use, the public domain and creative commons so that the items she uses to blend her class are both engaging without committing copyright infringement.
Educator Guidelines for Fair Use:
"Over the years, librarians, educators, and publishers have developed voluntary guidelines to address fair use," Willard told Education World. "Although these guidelines are not statutory, they are contained in the legislative history of the Copyright Act."
Those guidelines allow educators, under most circumstances, to copy:
- a single chapter from a book
- an excerpt from a work that combines language and illustrations, such as a children's book, not exceeding two pages or 10 percent of the work, whichever is less
- a poem of 250 words or less or up to 250 words of a longer poem
- an article, short story, or essay of 2,500 words or less, or excerpts of up to 1,000 words or 10 percent of a longer work, whichever is less; or
- a single chart, graph, diagram, drawing, cartoon, or picture from a book, periodical, or newspaper.
