Issues of copyright and fair use for educators are complicated and can be confusing. In this intensive one-day workshop, we'll break through the fog and myths to identify the key issues facing educators. This workshop cannot provide simple, pat answers--because none exist--but instead will provide a forum for educators to address key questions of copyright law and learn about resources like the Creative Commons that help teachers and students identify resources appropriate for a range of re-use options. Participants will leave this workshop with lesson ideas for teaching about web literacy, copyright, and fair use with their colleagues and with their students.
