Educational Technology and Copyright Law

In today's world of technology, any type of media is copyrighted. Copyright is a law that ensures your piece of work belongs to you and no one can steal your idea. However, there are exceptions to using the copyrighted work, such as the fair use policy. Students and teachers are allowed to use copyrighted works for educational purposes. But, some types of media, such as images, can be licensed. Licensed images do not fall under the fair use policy, and if you're planning to use a licensed image, use it according to what the license says. Therefore, most images and media can be used for classroom purposes.
