How does copyright law affect your use of technology in the classroom?

Copyright law can affect the use of technology in the classroom in many ways. For example, downloading music for school purposes on itunes or just for personal use has to be downloaded the correct way. Purchasing the music would be the correct way or streaming the music on sites such as spotify as well.






If you are using any copyrighted material in the classrooms then make sure to use permitted work and make sure to include copyright notices on each of the work. this website link on How to use copyright material can be very helpful to someone who does not know how to get permission. Also, Sometimes it is best to just use the amount of work needed to reach your pedagogical goals in the classroom. According to copyright law "There is a special exemption in the U.S. Copyright Law that applies to 

face-to-face teaching. This is a situation where the professor is physically present in a 
classroom or similar place devoted to instruction and is using the materials in the 
context of a discrete class session. Under § 110(1), faculty and students may only 
perform or display – but not reproduce or distribute – any copyrighted work in the 
course of face-to-face teaching activities in a classroom, without seeking permission. If 
this provision doesn't meet your needs, you can see if a case can be made for fair use"

 the instructor needs to be aware of  materials he/she is using and know how to implement them into the classroom correctly to avoid copyright law punishments. here is a video to help with how to get permission from copyrighted material.
