There is such a fine line and balancing act that one must deal with when dealing with copyright issues that most educators have just given up on understanding it. Instead of even attempting to follow the law they either recklessly use it all or avoid it completely. In both cases it is our students who lose, they either learn the lesson that it is okay to not follow the rules as long as you don’t get caught or they miss out on the learning experience. Someone could make a fortune writing a book that clarifies Copyright and Fair Use issue, “Copyright Laws for Dummies – Educational Fair Use”
@Joanne,
Although there is no codified book for it there may publications that are downloadable from the Internet where copyright issues are dealt with. Moreover every certification course teaches it as a part of the course program. i mean for teachers and our fears are dispelled by it. Though this is my personal take on it.
