Look No Further for Guidance About Copyright in the Classroom!

Iowa’s AEAs have created an extensive, easy-to-use resource to help students and teachers understand copyright laws and the associated rights and responsibilities as users of copyrighted information.   

Two versions of Copyright BriefNotes are available to support students and teachers in virtual and physical classrooms: Copyright BriefNotes for Students and Copyright BriefNotes for Students and Teachers. Both are available as a flipbook, PDF and printed version. Teachers are welcome to link the flipbooks and PDFs to their school websites or LMSs.  

• Copyright BriefNotes for Students has been updated for 2021. 
• Copyright BriefNotes for Students and Teachers includes the same content from the student version plus information that helps address copyright questions related to online and virtual learning environments, digital content, copyright permissions and more.
