Week 6: Thing 15

I loved "A Fair(y) Use Tale" even though it was a little annoying. It did explain that copyright could last 14 years to life. Fair use allows people to use the copyrighted material for education as long as it doesn't change the original work's value in the marketplace.

Most teachers tend to "borrow" images a lot of the time for Powerpoint presentations and worksheets without giving credit to the creator. I think it is important to take the extra time to give credit where it is due when preparing materials for use in the classroom.
