Fair Use

The American University School of Communication Center for Social Media has a terrific publication, "The Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education". Watch the thought provoking video that could have implications for other fields as well. See their other publicationsl:

• "Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Online Video"
• "Copyright and Fair Use in Teaching"
• "Yes, you can!" Where you don't even need 'fair use'. - this document addresses types of work that are in the public domain.

During the week of FLEX, Tuesday, Jan.6 10-12 in Batmale 313, we'll have a workshop entitled, "Intro to iGoogle and Google Docs". In the meantime, here are links to some Google Apps Training sites:

• Google Apps training
• Google Docs Presentation :An Overview for Educators
