Click HERE for a .pdf chart that was designed to inform teachers of what they may do under the law. Feel free to make copies for teachers in your school or district, or download a PDF version at http://www.techlearning.com/.
More detailed information about fair use guidelines and copyright resources is available at http://www.halldavidson.net/.

Brain Pop - Excellent tool for teaching...
One of my fellow students discovered this website and it's great for teaching younger students and the movies are great for my special education classroom. They can watch the subject movie over and over as well as work on the related activities and other items that supplement the lesson. Give it a try.
