Participants in my clases are always asking me for copyright information. Since most of my classes deal with writing web pages, we use a lot of graphics, employ design strategies, and enter oodles of text. What are the copyright laws? How do they affect the clasroom teacher? Can I download music from the Internet? Can I use graphics from the web? Here are some links to copyright sites that, hopefully, will help answer your questions. |
