Mutimedia

=What are the important aspects for teachers to remember?= 1) It is important for teachers to know that when using printed material, they need to keep in mind how much of the printed material they are permitted to use due to copy right issues. 2) The material must be legitimately acquired. It must be a legal copy, not a bootleg. 3) When using illustrations and photographs, they can check for copyright ownership at http://www.loc.gov. 4) Copyright works must give proper attribution to copyright holders. 5) It is always a good idea to have a works cited or reference page. 6) Multimedia programs must have an educational purpose and legally 30 seconds of musical composition may be used. 7) A network license may be required for multiple users because only one machine at a time may use the program.  The number of users must not exceed the number of licenses. 8)  Internet resources can not  be reposted back up on the web without permission but legitimate resources can be posted. 9) For educational uses broadcast tapes can be retained for a minimum of 10 school days.
