Review
“This book cuts right to the heart of uncertainties about how copyright and fair use apply in the classroom-confusions that block many valuable pedagogical interventions. Hobbs offers the information straight, addressing common misperceptions and laying out the current understandings of intellectual property law in clear, engaging prose.” (Henry Jenkins, Provost's Professor of Communication, Journalism, and Cinematic Art )
"This long-awaited book is exactly what has been needed to relieve educators’ anxieties about the legality of using copyrighted materials during instruction and presentations. In addition to answering questions about fair use practice in an easy-to-understand manner, Hobbs offers examples of how Internet and communications technologies support essential literacy and communication skills in 21st-century classrooms. This slender text is a must-read for every educator independently or as a professional development choice." (Diane Lapp, Distinguished Professor of Education )
"This book is provocative, readable, and well written. It will make educators think about their practices and framework. Recommended." (Suzanne Libra )

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Copyright Clarity: How Fair Use Supports Digital Learning (Paperback)
If you're an attorney looking for advanced case law on copyright this book may be a little on the basic side for you, but coming at it like I did with very little prior knowledge I found this book to be very useful and did change the way I think about copyright and the fair use of materials. It is a useful book and reads quickly, it also suggests additional resources which you can jump to when you're finished with it and has a presentation associated with it that you can give to others. This will be a useful book in impacting how you approach copyright questions and the steps you take in thinking about fair use decisions, particularly if you're a teacher. However, don't come at it thinking it will give you all the answers, apparently every situation is different. The book does provide basic tools for evaluating those situations and determining if it is fair use of copyrighted material, however.
