1-2 page *Plagarism-Free* report and instructional resource on the use of Copyright and Fair-Use in education

Mark 3:11-12

11 Whenever the impure spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.” 12 But he gave them strict orders not to tell others about him.

Recently I studied this passage during bible study. As the class discussed the context, my mind asked the question, why would Jesus give the evil spirits strict orders not to tell others about him? As long as his name is preached does it matter who said it? Scripture doesn’t answer this question directly. But what is clear is that Jesus asserted the right to control who spoke his name. This immediately made me think of our subject this week on copyright law and the rights US laws give to content creators to manage the display or performance of their work.

This week, you’ll review some resources on the topic of copyright law and the exceptions related to those rights. While this information is not a substitute for legal advice on the subject, it will give you guidelines to consider as you decide for yourself what media you can and cannot use.

After reviewing the resources provided, you’ll write a 1-2 page report identifying what copyright is, what fair use is, the four factors of fair use, and an example of fair use in education. In addition, you’ll create an original instructional resource for students and parents that you will post on your website. The resource can be a checklist, a flyer, a presentation, a video, etc. The resource will explain to students and parents how you expect them to apply the information presented when creating digital content for your classroom assignments. Both the paper and the instructional resource will be uploaded to blackboard. However, only the instructional resource will be uploaded to the website. Remember to view the rubric before you prepare and submit your assignment so that you are aware of the required elements that need to be present in the your assignment submission.
