This document discusses how to empower students to effectively conduct internet research. It begins by noting how communication and information access is rapidly changing online. It then provides tips for students to evaluate the relevancy, accuracy, reliability, bias and overall quality of internet sources. Examples are given of student projects from a 6th grade language arts class that demonstrate these skills. The document stresses the importance of copyright and fair use when using online content. It also discusses tools and websites that can help students create multimodal digital projects that incorporate internet research.

- 13. + Copyright/Fair Use Fair use is any copying of copyrighted material done for a limited and “transformative” purpose such as commentary, criticism, or parody. “Fair” uses do not require permission from the copyright owner. Section 110(1) of the Copyright Act explicitly permits teachers and students in a nonprofit educational institution to perform or display any copyrighted work in the course of face-to- face teaching activities. In face-to-face instruction, such teachers and students may act out a play, read aloud a poem, display a cartoon or a slide, or play a videotape so long as the copy of the videotape was lawfully obtained. In essence, Section 110(1) permits performance and display of any kind of copyrighted work, and even a complete work, as a part of face-to-face instruction. http://www.waynecountyschools.org/cms/lib6/NC01000512/Centric ity/Domain/1932/copyright_primer_learnNC.pdf
- 14. + However….. Posting something to the public web is legally considered to be publication. If you post copyrighted material, such as an image, to a website where anyone can view it, without specific permission, you are infringing upon copyright. This includes material already published on the web! (You may link to material already on the web.) Therefore, multi-modal projects need to be password-protected to ensure they are only used for the classroom. Students need to be made aware of the difference between creating a website for public viewing and using Internet resources to create a class project. http://www.waynecountyschools.org/cms/lib6/NC01000512/Centricity /Domain/1932/copyright_primer_learnNC.pdf
