copyright rules

  • COPYRIGHT RULES TO REMEMBER:

     

    1. Just because you found it online, doesn’t mean it’s free to use (even if you’re a teacher or student).
    2. There are a lot of resources you can use freely including work that has a Creative Commons license or is in the public domain. 
    3. You have a right as a creator to have your work protected from copying and you can also give your own content a Creative Commons license.
    4. If in doubt about using content, ask the creator for permission, find a free alternative, purchase an alternative, or make your own material.
    5. Instead of looking for loopholes, consider whether you’re being the most responsible and ethical digital citizen you can be.
