Many mediums are copyrighted severely. However, there are certain ones that I see violated in education. I believe that those three (in order from least to greatest) include:
1.Video; because many videos are shown based on what the theme of the lesson is on
2. Printed Material; because printed material is used almost everyday for readings in the classroom
3. Internet; because the internet is used everyday now in the 21st century classroom
Here are some guidelines to correctly provide these mediums for a classroom.
Video- Videotapes, whether purchased or rented, or DVDs must be obtained by a legitament source. If the videos are being shown in class, make sure it is for instructional purposes, not used for an award or to just have fun. If a video is used in a multimedia presentation, make sure there is appropriate remarks being shared to the audience regarding the copyright holder.
Printed Material- Articles, stories, and essays should be less than 2,500 words, two pages are allowed from works that are less than 2,500 words. The copies being provided to the students must be made from a purchases original. One teacher alone is allowed to use the copies, however, they make copies nine times during a term.
Internet- When you get information from the internet, it can not be re-posted back onto the web without permission from the original author or publisher. You can though, post links to the original onto the internet. If you download anything from the internet, you must get it from a legitamite source, just like the videos.
All in all, be careful when using others works. Here are some links regarding more guidelines for copyrighting:
