Fair use means individuals can use copyrighted work that is still fair to the owner (see specifics in the image above)
Students can use copyrighted material if:
It's specifically for a school project
It's not for public consumption. The material can be posted in a private online classroom (one that requires a login) or within the walls of a traditional classroom.
The work is transformed to something new and different.
Teachers can display/perform copyrighted work as long as it's for:
Face to Face Instruction at a non-profit educational institution.
The copy was lawfully obtained.
