That is another thing that has actually been on my ever-growing "to-do" list. Perhaps it could also serve as a place to share lessons and strategies for teaching copyright?

This is something that has been on my mind a LOT these days. I know that I have not done a good job teaching copyright. Truthfully, I don't understand fair use rules as well as I should either. I have been following the guideline that if it is just for publication at our school, a report or collage or something, I have allowed the students to use images from google. If it is something that will be published online, then I am much more stringent in trying to follow rules/laws and cite sources. I know that I need to do a better job of this. In face, I started creating a webquest on copyright months ago that I have never finished. The teachers at my school are worse than the students when it comes to googling for images. One site for copyright-friendly images appropriate for education that we use a lot is http://www.pics4learning.com Unfortunately, I can't use the creative commons image search with students because of the nature of the images.
