Copyright and Web 2.0

Web 2.0 resources can be a phenomenal addition to any classroom, especially since it allows the ability to gather content, alter content, and then make it publicly available. This does pose some potential problems regarding Fair Use and Copyright.

Students do produce a much higher quality work when they know that the world can see what they have produced; however, we teachers often misunderstand how copyrighted materials can be used in the classroom.

I have compiled a basic overview of Copyright, Fair Use, and Public Domain on this wiki.
