Copyright

Copy it RIGHT!
====Third grade is learning more about copyright and how to use creative works fairly. We discovered that we do not need to ask permission while we are learning in school if we use the work fairly. Instead, we can give credit to the creator. We watched a Disney parody, 'A Fair(y) Use Tale" posted on YouTube by Bel Yaun, 18 May 2008.====

====Copyright laws are designed to protect your creations, but the do's and don'ts of these laws can sometimes be tricky. The boom of multimedia classroom projects require students avoid the pitfalls of a "cut and paste" world. Fourth and fifth grade students are learning more about sites that provide copyright friendly images and how to properly recognize the owner using citations.====
