At Techapalooza 2011 Joyce Mason presented a session called Copyright not Copywrong. In this post, I am going to share some of the information and resources she shared with the group here.
Since copyright law is very confusing, it seems to be one of the hardest things to teach students and adults. Here is a video from the Copyright Clearance Center that I think does an excellent job of explaining copyright.

Look at this data (embedded below) from http://www.carolsimpson.com/copyright/copyright_action_data_results.htm and notice who reported some of the cases. Think twice before you use something in your classroom.
Here are some other copyright resources I just learned about today.

Storybird - Collaborative Storytelling
Storybird is a tool for creating digital books using image galleries and text. You do need to create a FREE account if you want to save and publish your book. You can play around without an account, but you will be given the option to create an account before you close what you made. This is a nice option if you want to demo before you sign up.
The idea behind this tool is that you select an artist or theme and then create a story using the images provided.
Another nice feature is that you can add collaborators to your story. Here is a quick story I create in just a few minutes.
