Understanding Copyright, the Public Domain, and Fair Use

I highly recommend the following resources for better understanding copyright and the public domain. The Davidson table is particularly helpful for understanding what is acceptable within educational contexts.

• Tales from the Public Domain: Bound by Law: This comic book (available online and for download) explains the public domain and its relationship to copyright.
• The Educator's Guide to Copyright and Fair Use (Hall Davidson): In addition to an overview to fair use in educational settings, this techLEARNING article includes a link to a helpful self-quiz and chart.
