The teacher's guide to music, media, and copyright law /

In this era of unprecedented access to information, teachers have a wealth of readily available resources for lesson planning. But determining what you can and can't use legally in the classroom is a difficult task. The Guide helps explain in plain English just how information, images, video, and music can be incorporated into any kind of lesson plan without running afoul of copyright laws. You'll learn: what resources you can use without obtaining permission, how to obtain and license the works you need permission to use; how to check the copyright status of any media item, and; how to apply copyright legality examples to real classroom situations.
