Copyright/Fair Use
Fair use is any copying of copyrighted material done for a limited
and “transformative” purpose such as commentary, criticism, or
parody. “Fair” uses do not require permission from the copyright
owner. Section 110(1) of the Copyright Act explicitly permits
teachers and students in a nonprofit educational institution to
perform or display any copyrighted work in the course of face-to-
face teaching activities. In face-to-face instruction, such teachers
and students may act out a play, read aloud a poem, display a
cartoon or a slide, or play a videotape so long as the copy of the
videotape was lawfully obtained. In essence, Section 110(1)
permits performance and display of any kind of copyrighted work,
and even a complete work, as a part of face-to-face instruction.

However…..
Posting something to the public web is legally considered to be
publication. If you post copyrighted material, such as an image, to
a website where anyone can view it, without specific permission,
you are infringing upon copyright. This includes material already
published on the web! (You may link to material already on the
web.)
Therefore, multi-modal projects need to be password-protected to
ensure they are only used for the classroom. Students need to be
made aware of the difference between creating a website for public
viewing and using Internet resources to create a class project.
