Educational Technology and Copyright Law

Copyright is a federal law in the United States that protects someone's original work. Original work authorship is literary, written, artistic and musical works. When ever someone comes up with something or creates something on their own, it is immediately copyrighted. When doing school projects, or presentations, most people use pictures that are not theirs. Copyright laws state that sharing a picture you found and making copies of it is not an infringement of copyright. The picture will follow under fair use unless it is licensed. If a picture is licensed, all you have to do is give credit to the photographer that way people will know it is not your own picture.
